<p>I'm thinking (read "guessing') this is a "YYMV" situation:
quality of the cable and the switch, input sensitivity of the
projector, etc. HDMI.org (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hdmi.org/installers/longcablelengths.aspx">https://www.hdmi.org/installers/longcablelengths.aspx</a> ) may give
your some information. ...Somewhere when trying to find some
other information I did see about HDMI cable runs could be up to
50' though the cable length in stores was commonly 25'</p>
<p>Here for 'longer' runs I have used the 'booster' HDMI cables; not
sure how far we can go without getting That Look from the
moderators but I have purchased from Amazon the 15' length of
"Monoprice 109169 Active Select Series" and it resolved a problem
with a deteriorating signal into a 5-output HDMI switch. ...Must
have been due to the video card in that computer as another
computer in the same cabinet did not need a special cable.</p>
<p>The amplified cable uses "RedMere Technology" if that helps any.
The cable is marked as to which end gets plugged into the computer
and which to the monitor (to your projector).</p>
