Why is there so few hdmi cables of this length that has full 2.1 bandwidth ? I found one on scan but don’t know if it’s legit or not. I’m trying to tidy up my setup so it will really help.

 

[VN1X]

yes

 

[sankt-Antonio]

2.1 Cables after a certain length need active circuitry (glasfiber / conversion) etc. So there is a massive price jump with these cables. Dont know if the cutoff is 5m, but there is one.

Found these, they are really good cables and available in all kind of lengths. The 7m cable cost 150 Euro, so this seems to be the cut off point where the cable needs to have additional stuff(?).

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I just got this 15m (they also sell 5m variant) cable for my new house and it works perfecto. 4k 120Hz.

Zeskit have a 7m 2.1 cable on amazon for 100 quid.

 

[THE DUCK]

I bought a 30ft FIBBR brand cable from Amazon, it's nice and thin and has worked great on series X and ps5 at 120hz. Inexpensive.

 

[FingerBang]

Yep, being using a 7m one and it works fine, nothing special about it (except being 2.1 certified).

Wish there was a wireless solution that didn't force me to have a huge cable around, but nothing for 4K/120hz afaik.

Because it requires a certain type of cable to be able to send signals that far without too much degradation.

Look into glass fiber cables, those can get very long without losing quality.

Here dude get the 5m cable for only £550 that's £110 per meter, great value...

 

[rofif]

These exist but super expensive.
Even 2 meters hdmi 2.1 cables have issues if not from reputable brand

 

[ReBurn]

Your console is 15 feet from your TV?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[Skyfox]

Would the length increase input lag?

 

[Kuranghi]

Would the length increase input lag?

No

 

[Ulysses 31]

Would the length increase input lag?

For a signal that moves at (almost) the speed of light?

 

[rofif]

Would the length increase input lag?

No but only if you use pro controller

 

[Spukc]

Make sure its gold

Yeah otherwise it can rust when using submerged

 

[Knightime_X]

Oh baby.
A HEMI cable.

[ozz ex machina]

I went through this issue. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08GM93YQQ/

This one has worked wonders.

 

[Bojji]

I bought one for like ~12$ (5m), works very well connecting my ampere GPU to LG OLED with 120Hz-4K-RGB-10bit signal.

So yeah, super expensive cable at this length is not needed.

 

[Mercador]

Man I just wish I had a constant 4K@60hz

Those cables are expensive to say the least. The maximum seems to be 15 meters.

 

[daveonezero]

Because it is a limited consumer base and near the limits of the standard. Not many people need to cable it that far. I’d try Graybar or mono price. You gonna spend money and yes jt will be more expensive.

Resistance and power are limits in everything.

Is monoprice no longer the Goto website for high quality cables?

I can't wait for the company I work for to finally grab the cable tester I've been telling them to get for years now. Defiantly plan on curating some type of list of what cables pass and meet the product claims.

He's posting in meters, so safe to assume he's smelly european and not majestic eagle. Think Monoprice is primarily a freedom e-tailer.
