I know for 6' and under 28 AWG is fine, but what about 10'?


Thanks all in advance.

Dry or greasy?


Any opinion on the cable gauge?

Hehe. Hehe. You said "swallow."


But seriously, anyone going to answer the question re HDMI cables?

To prevent any possible amplifier issues, just use 14 AWG. The difference in cost is negligible.

No, this is for HDMI cables.

 

[Scooper]

In that case - get the biggest - 24 AWG

Should've stated that in the opening post.

The only issue with 28ga may be if something is powered from the HDMI cable. Otherwise 28awg should be good up to 20 feet. But you can't go wrong with a heavier gauge provided HDMI compliance is still being met by the cable manufacture.

The larger-gauge cables can be very difficult to route, if it's not a simple straight run. For a 10' run, I can't see why you'd need to go larger than 28 AWG. For longer runs (25' or more), yes, a larger gauge would make sense, and probably would be necessary even.


Also, is there anything that actually powers itself off the HDMI connection? I didn't think it provided a power feed that could be used like USB's to let a device power off the bus like that...
