How long of an HDMI cable can you use

Recommended Posts


How many feet away from DVR can you go with a HDMI cable before having problem's.

 

15-20m shouldn't give you any issues even with "El-cheapo" HDMI cables. If you want to push beyond that, you'll need to start investing in the higher quality stuff.

 

That's about 50ft if you're American

Read some of the reviews on Newegg...

 

Looks like some people have problem over like 50 feet. But then, they sell cables past 100 feet, and people have said they work fine. The manufacturers are able to get around the distance problem by using thicker gauge wire inside - so the signal can travel farther due to less resistance.

 

They have said the cable is 1/2 inch in diameter, and the connector is larger than normal...
