Default Slightly off-topic: Mini Display Port cable?

We've recently upgraded our studio's to new Mac Pro's with the latest model Cinema Display with the Mini Display Port. In one of our studio's the computer is located in an isolated booth, to avoid fan sound leaking into the control room. That means we need a cable to lengthen the current cable attached to the display, about 6 meters (about 20 feet for non-metric countries :), otherwise the computer cannot be placed in the booth.

Does anyone know of the existence of such a cable? I've been looking around but so far found nothing.

if you can't extend the mini display port cable itself why not use a mdp to dvi converter and then extend using a high quality dvi extension cable. lindy.com is worth a look.
