Please note! The length of an HDMI cable can affect the quality of the transmitted signal. Signal losses can occur with distances over 10 meters/35 ft, which can cause degradation of image or sound quality. HDMI repeaters and extenders can strengthen the HDMI signal for longer distances. For professional longer-distance installations, we recommend that you contact your local professional AV company and use, for example, active HDMI fibre or CAT cables.
