For in-wall installation what is the shortest cable that work optimally. I heard that it must be at least 50 ft, is this correct?

Dear Blanca,Thank you for your question regarding our High Speed HDMI Cable.For in-wall installation, the minimum cable length may vary based on your local law/regulation. Technically, there is no minimal length for the best HDMI performance, but a good rule of thumb is the shorter the better. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Not really sure, ours was 25 foot and works well. There are HDMI amplifiers and it may provide the signal strength for additional lengths for optimal performance. This cable is rated for in wall installation and was priced at a fair value (about 75% less than electronic stores charge) and was chosen after considerable amount of research. I did not see cable length much greater than 50 ft. most were shorter but recall there were some posts regarding lengths for long runs and that an amplifier was needed. We use an amplifier for our TV cable and it works great- got it through Amazon. There are some informative posts that will probably better explain this. Hope this helps - Not really sure, ours was 25 foot and works well. There are HDMI amplifiers and it may provide the signal strength for additional lengths for optimal performance.

Hello, I purchased a 25 foot blue rigger for in-wall installation on my 55" Sony plasma tv and it works fine.

I don't quite understand your question but I think maybe your asking it wrong. A shorter cable would run more optimally than a longer cable another words, the shorter the cable, the better the signal. That said, if your looking for a long run of 50 ft. look on the specs for that cable check the gauge and signal drop across 50 ft. . Also check on YouTube for help. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Technically you can run a 50' cable but they get very expensive. Not all cables operate equally. The cheaper the cable the less distance it will operate properly. I would not recommend buying any cables without the assurance you can return if they don't perform properly.

You need to allow about SIX inches from wall . This will allow plenty of room to work with all connection needed.

Sure, 1.3a is fine and suggest you check out the "28AWG HDMI 1.3a Category 2 Certified Male to Male Cables" section (assuming you're not going "in-wall") and don't short yourself - if you think you need 4' get 6' or perhaps more to allow you to move things without stressing the cable or connectors. And how many you need totally depends on your setup but if it's just cable box to tv then one will do. But as you said, easy enough at those prices to get some for the future and help ease the shipping cost.

As long as the original (I don't have it here or I'd measure it). The part from wall to box is shorter but the box to comp cable is longer. In the neighborhood of 8 feet I think.

When I installed my system, I needed longer lengths of cable. I ordered and installed 100' cables with connectors on the ends from a different vendor. Works fine.

The unifi inside starts dropping at about 35-50' when it hits walls and various normal interior house surroundings. My house is 120' long I set one in center and one on each end to get the phones that are the hardest to get to work properly. The issue is mostly with the device in use rather than the Unifi do not expect 300' to be a solution as most devices will never be able to talk back at that range. But at there price it was a steal to set up a real 1st class WiFi system.

Just a few inches of cable. If you're permanently mounting, much cheaper options out there...

The specs I found show that using cat5e cable you can go up to 100m or just over 300 feet at the gigabit speed so 50 feet should be fine. I was surprised at that length at gigabit (1000MB) speed since it says that is the same distance for 100MB speed. I have used a cable over 40 feet without any problems.

We have ours at 60 feet with a wall in between and it works great. You can always try it and return it if it doesn't work; just make sure you keep all the packaging and info. Good luck!

Should be fine, assuming you've measured the length you need. I haven't used this cable inside walls, but I would: it's rated for it, and it is nice and sturdy.

Hello,You should only need one cable.Hello,No this cable is not "in wall" rated but I've seen reviews where customers have used them in the walls.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

As far as I know, I don't think it's rated for in wall installation. The only thing, as far as i understand, that sets normal HDMI cable apart from in-wall cable is that it is fire rated. This stuff isn't.However, the cable will work fine inside a wall. It is fairly stiff and solidly constructed. I pack it regularly in my backpack with my laptop and some other gear and because of the sheathing that is around the cable, there is little, if any, chaffing of the cable. Love the cable, Tough. Durable. And looks pretty cool.

Cable won't go thru a wall to install cable so what is the best antenna for a kitchen to get some viewing time on this TV on Long Island, NY? I have no conversion box...what is the smallest, cheapest and best way? Thanks

The cable is very flexible, however, the connector itself has no real give. I would recommend a 1 1/2" to 2" clearance in the rear of the TV if mounting on a wall (alternatively, many TVs now have recessed I/O panels on the rear for just this reason). Ultimately, if mounting to a wall, I would recommend a right-angle HDMI cable. Finally, I have used many cables over the years, these Blue Riggers are the best and at the best price. Buy 2-packs and save. There is always a new need for an HDMI cable of whatever length. Good luck!
