I had a 6ft hdmi from my directv box running to my 1x4 switch. From there I had a 50ft hdmi and a 6ft hdmi run to my tv's. It worked great for a about 6 months and then one day it just quit working altogether.

I have a 50 ft. HDMI cable running to an upstairs bedroom tv and do not have any issue with loss of signal. But, I do not know how much farther it would go.

I am not sure. I currently have one output used with a 50 ft cable that is for a 720 tv. It seems to have good qualtiy.

I don't know what the longest distance is, but I am using 25 ft. with no signal loss whatsoever.

If you have a TV with HDMI connection this is the best way to go. HDMI cables carry high bandwidth signal and audio with just one cable. HDMI cable is not provided (I found some great ones on amazon). Your next best option is optical cables to carry your audio signal. At this time one HDMI cable is running my entire system.

The splitters (2) that I tried at the input end would not work - the signal strength was too low. Just for interest I tried a splitter at the other end and zero signal. Also at the output end, even some 90 degree elbow adapters or HDMI keystones would drop the signal enough to be a problem. Bottom line is the cable is good, just have not found anything that is not a drain on throughput.

I ran it for 100' without apparent signal loss. I would try without amplifier and if signal is low than install a amplifier. Living in an obstructed viewing area (Satellite) placement was more important than distance for signal strength.

I know you can purchase signal boosters that are compatible with this brand of HDMI. From my experience i did not need one, the image did not lose clarity or seem to have color issue. I ran from cable source to a prejector with no issue. Hope this helps, good luck.

50' feet is quite a distance. It would possible if you had a really good quality HDMI cable. Maybe. It's really not the function of this device to power such a long run. Even if an excellent cable would work at 50' my guess would be that you would probably be a lot better off financially if you used a booster or active cable as opposed to spending big bucks on a cable. Using a cable booster would also be a much more likely approach to success.

You need a cable - we found these on Amazon - work GREAT! BlueRigger High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet, Supports 3D and Audio Return (25 Feet)

I purchased a USB extension and that helped me on the distance. Guess depends what is the distance you are looking for and if you can get an usb extension that long.

No signal? Sounds like your HDMI cable is too long. Try the Monoprice 50ft Ultra Slim Series High Performance HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology (Product Number: 9432). Cheap and reliable.

I have the same distance. I use standard indoor outdoor cable and it works great. Adding a signal booster will help also. Mine is about 25 feet.

the wire is long enough!! just put the sensor in front of the led of the device you need to control and hide the rest of the cable behind the device, it works great for me, i have a directv and blue ray in my living room both with hdmi splitter in order to use in my bedroom too, and i hide my cables though the wall and leave just the receptor in my bedroom and it works great!!!

Hi Lisa connecting 2 - 100ft runs is quite long. The techies at the mfg site can tell you about signal lossat that length.Best Regards,Lazz :)

I didn't actually measure the cable for loss. However, it did check my setup with a 6 ft cable first. When I used this longer one, there was no discernable loss in picture quality

The HDMI spec is 25ft. Anything over that could have problems depending on the equipment you use. One TV might work fine another not. One computer or BR player may work fine another not. No one can guarantee your situation will work. You will just have to try it. Down the road if you change equipment you may then experience problems. Unless you can stay below the 25ft spec your cant be guaranteed a reliable signal. Yes you can add amplifiers or signal balancers but then again it depends on the equipment at both ends of the cable.

Monitor wire is about one foot long. An extension cable probably will not be necessary.
