Cable Run Length
How far you can run HDMI cable using this repeater is dependent on the quality
of the cable being used. Standard HDMI cables built with 30-28 gauge conductors
will limit the usable length. The attached components will also affect the length of
the cable run.
When using a well-constructed HDMI cable with better shielding and larger
gauge sizes (such as many AR products), you will be able to transmit the HDMI
signal longer distances without performance degradation. This length will also vary
depending on the quality of the high defi nition component being used.
With better HDMI cables, the typical length improvement will be approximately:
• 1080p – 85 feet
• 720p – 118 feet
When installing this device, it is recommended that the cable length used on the
display side be 85% shorter than the cable length used on the source side.
