View Full Version : HDMI for inwall installation - 12M

I need to go about 12M. The home theater installer wants me to buy something like $700 dollars worth of HDMI (2 runs - 12M). That sounds high to me. The monoprice a number of you have recommended seem good - but they don't have 1.3 compliant HDMIs beyond 25ft.

I think I need to have 1.3 (1080p display) and pretty sure I need CL2 (or better?) for inwall installation.

I was thinking a good compromise between the economical monoprice and the ultra expensive might be either:

http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/series1hdmi.htm

Which run about $100 bucks each for that distance. . .

Any thoughts? I'm a little concerned because of the in-wall installation - I don't want to have to retrofit and replace - so it seems cautious to go with quality cables that will last - I just don't want to get taken to the cleaners in the process.

Thanks.

See the HDMI Tin-Plated Copper CL2 Rated (For In-Wall Installation) Cable (22AWG) - 40ft (Gold Plated Connectors) (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024002&p_id=4034&seq=1&format=2) for $46 from Monoprice ... it is 1.3 compliant (read the spec)!

Thanks - but as I mentioned in my post - monoprice doesn't offer 1.3 above 25ft. . .
