HDMI Cable Length. Passive Cables – Opinions vary over the maximum length of a passive HDMI cable. Consensus seems to be about 50 feet for 1080p and 25-feet for 4K video, but distances of over 50-feet are achievable. HDMI Category 1 – also referred to as Standard HDMI cable, will easily reach up to 5 metres without any problems and will transmit over distances of up to 20 metres. Caution – before running any longer cable distances through walls or ceilings, etc – test your system first! Use the exact Source-Cable-Display (plus any additional devices The CBL-HD model is a high-speed Category 2 HDMI® cable featuring 24k gold-plated HDMI Type A male connectors at each end. A variety of popular lengths up to 30 feet is offered. Full 4K60 4:4:4 video is supported using any length up to 20 feet (6.1 meters). The 30 foot (9.1 meter) model supports 4K30 4:4:4 and 4K60 4:2:0 maximum. Notes: Learn how to extend an HDMI signal up to 125 feet—well beyond the typical five-meter distance limitation—using cost-effective Cat5 or Cat6 cables.P167-000: h The maximum length you can run Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cable is 100 meters or 328 feet. If you require a longer run, you will need to put an active component, such as a router, in-between the signals. The length limit for Cat5 also includes any patch cables, jacks or couplers that are connected in the run. For example, you could not run 100 An HDMI over fiber extender uses a fiber-optic cable to extend the connection between devices. The extender device that converts the fiber-optic to HDMI is on each end of a fiber-optic cable. You connect a standard HDMI cable from the HDMI over fiber extender to your display. HDMI over fiber extenders eliminate the typically limited range of USB 2.0 Cable Active Extension. USB 2.0 cables can be extended to a length of 30 meters, or slightly more than 98 feet. USB 3.0 and 3.1 cables, on the other hand, have a maximum length of 18 meters (about 59 feet). This assumes that the first cable is a live one. If it isn’t, the maximum length of a USB 2.0 cable is 25 meters (82 feet). 5 meters (1.2): Failed. 3 meters (1.4): Working up to 165Hz. 2 meters (1.2): Working up to 165Hz. Now I'm using one 2 meters cable and two 3 meters cables with two active Displayport extenders between them to drive a 2560x1440 monitor at 165Hz. I'll add that these are the highest quality (most expensive) cables I could find. Length, Attenuation, Wiremap and Near End Crosstalk (NEXT). The length requirements defined that the maximum length a cable could be run from a Telecommunications Room to a work area outlet in a commercial building could not exceed 90 meters (295 feet). This 90 meter distance is defined as the horizontal link. Convert HDMI to SDI and back. When you convert the HDMI signal into SDI and back at the destination site, you effectively extend the signal up to 130m. This method used the maximum cable length at the transmission side, converted into SDI, used the full cable length of 100m, and converted back after using the full-length HDMI cable again. 1DZffBr.
