HDMI must run more than 15 meters and stutters
Above 5 to 10 meters passive HDMI starts losing signal. For 15 meters and more you need active solutions, HDBaseT over Cat6, fiber HDMI, or SDI conversion.

Try this first
- Measure the actual cable route, not line of sight, ceilings and conduits add length quickly.
- For 15 to 70 meters, an HDBaseT extender over Cat6 or Cat6a is common, fits in one Cat6 run.
- Above 70 meters, or at high resolution, fiber HDMI or SDI conversion works better.
- Watch EDID handshake, long runs sometimes need an EDID emulator otherwise the source gets no signal.
- For 4K at 60Hz check the extender against that spec, not every HDBaseT unit reliably handles 4K over distance.
- Document which extender is on which run, that saves diagnosis time during an incident.
When to bring us in
For wide signal distribution with many runs, an AV-over-IP architecture is sometimes cheaper than many extenders. Vectel can model both.
