HDMI Extension - Accell Ultrarun HDMI cables
 If you’re planning out your next home theater project and
it involves running HDMI cables over great distances the most common
solution would be to use either an HDMI to RJ-45,
or any run of the mill HDMI
repeater. You’ll notice that both these adapters can achieve the
same distance, 150 ft, but one is significantly more expensive. There
is another solution that is a lot simpler and maintains the highest
quality. That is using Accell’s
Ultra run HDMI Cables for HDMI extension.
Accell HDMI Cables:
Accell has a pretty innovate product to replace the two afore mentioned
products. HDMI cables come with wires built-in that are powered but not
used. Accell took this unused power and built it into a signal booster
that is built into the cable. Just like the other products, the max
distance on the Accell cables is 150 feet.
Having a signal booster built-in to the cable has
a few obvious advantages over using repeaters or baluns. The balun
requires two HDMI cables, two ethernet cables and two baluns. That
means that the video channel runs through at least three cables with
six connections.
The active repeater does slightly better;
requiring two HDMI cables (really long ones two, 75 foot each) and the
single repeater. That means signals pass through two cables with a
total of four connections. The only problem with having so many extra
connections is that connection points are a major spot for signal
degradation and signal loss. That’s why high quality cables invest so
much in using gold-plating to get signals through the weakest part of a
connection.
Accell also uses heavy shielding and over-molding to take signals
past interference rich areas between floors or by electrical lines.
In short, the next time you need HDMI extension think about Accell’s
Ultra run cables.
