hello,
Long story but basically, the current hdmi cable we have for our theater room, running in the wall/ceiling from the front of the room to where the projector is (maybe 25 or so ft long) wasnt installed long enough. (2012) In 2014 when we got the projector and we realized it doesnt reach where the port is on the projector, i ended up getting an extension unit. I was told the unit could cause flickering in the signal, etc. (which we do see occasionally - not daily so not sure if that is the cause).
Anyways, we want to upgrade to a 4K projector -need to replace the projector and receiver, however, good time to replace the cable as well. We dont have a tube in the ceiling sadly (forgot to ask for it and the work was done when we werent home so didnt occur - maybe would have realized it if we saw the work being done).
Without putting holes in the ceiling, an installer contact suggested going around the room, up the wall and then along the gap to the projector (since its open, so no holes needed) BUT this would need a longer cable -35 to 40 ft. i read for longer hdmi cables signal may be a problem so to just get a fiber cable.
current cables are from monoprice back then, but i just want to be sure, this is the type of cable i should be looking for:
(will look around for something similar if this is the proper type)
Regards
