While HDMI 2.1 is looming (we might see something with 2.1 at CEDIA?), long runs of HDMI cable for 4K/HDR applications are an issue. Most standard passive HDMI cables can only be run about 20ft before 4K/HDR is unusable.
This thread is for 4K owners to share their cable experiences.
My run needs about 40-45 feet. After some investigating, I went with the RUIPRO HDMI Fiber Optic Cable... costs about $179 for 15 meters. A major benefit is the fact that the cable is super thin and flexible.
I used my initial purchase for about 3 months, then experienced a failure (happened right at the end of my last review). I was moving some equipment around, and in the process, the cable stopped working. It's an active cable... for some reason it didn't like some part of the move.
The company has a 2 year warranty... which I've exercised and the replacement is working fine.
If you're in the market for a long run HDMI, the RUIPRO is a good option.
