In order to run
HDMI a long distance, you will basically have two options: Buy a bulky HDMI Boosting device that requires external power (keeping in mind you still need to buy the HDMI cable itself) or just get an HDMI cable that has built in active repeater.
The active repeater allows the cable to send the high definition signal the entire length of the cable while keeping resolutions up to 1080p. Normal HDMI cables can start to lose resolution quality after 30 ft lengths. The cable is manufactured for high bandwidth, high definition uncompressed content and is HDCP compliant.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
All Gefen DVI and HDMI cables are made with HDCP regulations. This allows content protected high definition video to be transferred over this cable. It can still play all your HDMI high definition video signals, but with the added ability to play HDCP video.
Class 3 Rated (CL3) cables
Class 3 cables are ideal in all video applications including in-wall installation. CL3 cables have high quality double shielding.
HDMI Advantages
HDMI is able to provides high definition signals up to 1080p, in addition to surround sound audio all with just one cable.
