For example, you need to install a projector, the cord is going across the floor, the length of the HDMI cable may exceed 65 ft. If you have two available HDMI cable with a slightly shorter distance, the best solution is choosing a quality HDMI repeater compared with buying a new HD cable.
An HDMI extender will allow the user to extend video and audio beyond a typical HDMI cable without losing signal quality. That is the product we want to introduce today. It’s a small device that supports plug and play and is not expensive.
Although “HDMI booster” “HDMI extender” and “HDMI amplifier” are also mentioned in the introduction of many HDMI repeaters, the effect of signal amplifying is limited, so please note the supported lengths of HDMI cord stated in the HDMI repeater products description. In general, HDMI repeater is suitable for signal transmission with a total distance less than 100 ft.
If you want to buy an HDMI cable with a sufficient distance, we recommend selecting an HDMI 2.0 cable with signal booster, which can achieve the purpose of amplifying the signal without the need for additional equipment. Because ordinary HDMI cord will have a significant signal loss if the length over 50 ft. The disadvantage of HDMI cable with signal booster is that if something goes wrong, it means that the entire cord is scrapped.
PS: If you need more than 100 ft distance, the only solution is 4K 60Hz HDMI 2.0 extender.
More and more devices support 4K 60Hz HDR HDCP 2.2, so we only recommend HDMI 2.0 repeaters. It is compatible with old HDMI 1,4/ 1.3 devices, basically, it ensures that there is no compatibility issue for daily use.
