[QUOTE="gifs, post: 24068, member: 480"] I recently needed about 15m of HDMI for my projector and was in SpaceTV (a place that sells mostly satelite stuff) and saw they sold HDMI cable as well. After many AV shops around Joburg couldn't sell me anything longer than 10m and at least R1000, they had some SpaceTV rebranded cable and they had it in lengths of up to 20m. The cost? Well, I paid R380 for 15m. You might think it will be an inferior cable, but it is quite thick and has some EMI interference suppressors (if they do anything is probably debatable). I compared this cable to using a good quality short cable and couldn't notice any difference. So I think if you shop around you could get some decent long HDMI cables. Another solution which I think installers would probably consider is a CAT6 solution where HDMI is converted to run over 2 CAT6 cables which could be much cheaper and for very long runs (i.e. more than 20m) probably the only solution.
