HDMI cables an only run up to 30 ft. before the signal quality start to downgrade. The longer you run the cable, the lower the quality. This can of course be a problem unless you get the Gefen HDMI Super Booster high definition cable. It has built-in active repeaters that allow the signal to be run all 50 feet of this cable while maintaining resolutions up to 1080p.
HDMI cables are compact and more user-friendly than many high definition connection and cable types and they are specifically designed to handle high bandwidth, uncompressed video and also multi-channel digital audio, all with-in the same cable. The cable is HDCP compliant and compatible with all sources and displays.
