If the HDMI cables are too short, what can you do?

A common problem that comes with the advent of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) as a new industry standard for transmitting television signals, how to choose the right length HDMI lead. In the old days, when all RG6 coaxial cable has been performed, it was possible to run the signal over very long runs and then just the cable length and fit a coaxial connector and connect easily to your TV. Although it is still RG6 cable used to connect the satellite dishto say, for example, Freesat + receiver, the output of the box to the TV now always an HDMI cable.

Another complicating factor is the popularity of flat-screen TV hanging on a bare wall or a fireplace. Of course, nobody wants the HDMI cable attached to the wall, inevitably bury the cables in the wall, usually built from the TV to a unit to run the house near the satellite receiver. What makes the choice of the correct length of lead is thatyou can not shorten or lengthen the cable easily. In general, there is a good selection of HDMI cables all the way down from 1m to 20m, with the upper limit is determined by the level of the signal loss that occurs in the cables that are longer than 20m.

No matter how well you plan, there is always the possibility that the cable is too short. For example, the HDMI input on your new HD TV is in a different place than expected, or you decide to TV in a slightly different mountainLocation. There are two choices when it comes to extend an HDMI cable.

The first and simplest is to simply add an HDMI connectors at both ends of the HDMI cable to come. This option is both economical, compact and requires no electricity. However, it is suitable to be used only when the total length of less than 20m 2.

The other option is an HDMI repeater, which is an active unit that both connects two HDMI cables and usealso amplifies the signal. Normally, this unit serves as the combination of HDMI port, where the total length of over 20m. The need for the connected equipment and its costs are certainly questions, but this is an essential unity in the long term.

A final note about HDMI cables is that generally more short-run, the difference in signal loss between low costs and a cheap HDMI is pretty low. Where to spend the extra money worth it in long cables. Most of the cost of lost HDMICable providers do not have that level of budget more than 5 or 10.
