Just got a fiber hdmi cable that is 150 feet long I'm impressed And the cable is so thin
Comment from : bananabread

I'm running an older desktop with an Intel Core i7 4790K 40GHz and an Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX I need to tie it into an older flat screen TV The only hitch is that I need 40' of cable to do this Suggestions?

Conduit? Everything Electric, ethernet, av, fiber etc Has been run in conduit for atleast 50 years Nothing in a home is not run in a conduit Why is it not standard in usa? Seems really stupid Just something simple as Electric, if you want to update the cabling after 30 years (new standards and so on) just pull in the old cables with the new, or with a "feather" as it called here

I am pretty sure its a bit less about the cable these days and more about the transmitters and receivers Your TV or AV Receiver, DVD/BD/4K players transmitters will only be able to push so much power in addition to their primary purposes Not every transmitter a company makes will handle long distance transmission power needed and maximum signal strength at the highest rates as that is not each components primary role As you noted, Fiber is the way Fiber is not sending electrical power, which normally takes bigger and bigger cables A big plus is it is not subject to interference (in a small home/business) like EMI from electrical connections are Its just better Look at a Toslink cable compared to all your audio cables today with all their shielding needed how large the diameters are, which is a fair relative example brbrOne note I would consider that was mentioned , is cutting and resetting the end of a cable True it can be done physically, but for electrical the exact length of a cable matters relative to its wave form, as where a signal start/stops should be at a peak of a wave and not in between That is part of what cables get certified for Do not allow an installer to say otherwise and in the digital computer world where I have worked (Silicon Valley) we ensure any install gets tested and category certified *after it is installed* You can end up with weird problems that are really hard to troubleshoot (reflections and retransmissions) All of this is expensive though, more beyond most of us home pro-sumers and getting to the outer edges of commodity consumer electronics

I have been looking at the Celerity Technologies Universal Fiber Optic HDMI cable that is 40 foot long and able to do 8k video at 60 Hz Question that I have is this fiber optic cable better or about the same as Bullet Train cable for its reliability
Comment from : Chewster84

Thanks for the video This was greatbrbrSomething I have been thinking about is the future of movies in the home I think with microled VR headsets that can run at 16k, we'd be at a point where people prefer to watch stuff on the VR headset brCheck out the app bigscreen and the headset they are releasing for an idea of where we may be heading brVR 3D movies, when you upscale the 3D movies first in topaz are amazing

any way to go from my 3090 to my 4k 120hz hdr tv 40-50 feet for less than $500? tried a "fiber" hdmi from amazon and no luck that bullet trains crazy expensive

That butt chin is insane
Comment from : recklessjunkie

this is nice, what about AV over IP, would that also be a solution
Comment from : mlchem Wolf

Well that's what I was just going on right there I leave internet the orange stuff and I have that tied off and I always when I pull the cable I always have jetline and I'll tie on another piece at the end so that way I'll leave another one in place To my new Samsungs and LG TVs they both requested the cat 7s so that's what they've got going to them And that other video were your terminating the fiber right before you leave it with you get us those alcohol pads and the alcohol should be the above 70 it should be in the 90 so that way it doesn't leave any streaks on the glass

Hey I'm a fiber guy Telecommunications B4 my kids were born my youngest boy is already in the Army 🪖
Comment from : roland garcia

Do the runs in Condit and have access points Have a few pullstrings and do best practice of the time leave the pullstrings for future use to pull latest and greatest in 10-15 years when you need to update major components or noticing major Performance issues
Comment from : Tidbitkid

What’s the name and model of the fiber cable you have installed? I am looking to install fiber in a residential build but I’m confused as there are so many different types, etc
Comment from : bobulatorul

Never directly plaster or concrete cables in walls or floors!! Builders in uk do this all the time conduit cost a few buck and its nothing to install compared to ripping out walls and decor to change, faulty or damaged cables A friend of mine's a (spark) did this very thing with a HDMI cable and 11 months later it packed up and he was pi**ed TV was on a feature wall, wallpaper and all

White balance
Comment from : Neon Shores

Please clarify: Gene has consistently spoke of installing Cat6 cables in the new smart house Jason consistently said his company recommends installing Cat6A as a minimum Neither discussed the difference between these two cables standards I installed Cat5e when I built my home 17 years ago Now I need to run a couple of new cables I’ve opted to use Cat6A Can Jason please explain why he suggests Cat6A and will Gene please explain why he used and suggests viewers use Cat6? brbrI know the main topic was HDMI, but this discrepancy jumped out to me I want to know if I’m going in the right direction! Thanks!

I am using a fiber optic HDMI cable to run 4k 120hz games from my PC with an RTX 3090 to my LG C9 OLED tv but it was a pain to find one that would work I bought and returned 3 different cables from Amazon until I found the one I am using now I wish I would have seen a vidoe about the Bullet-train cable a year and a half ago
Comment from : Clayton Fralick

Good video thank you I wish I would also talk in feet and not just meters I don't know if you are in the US or Europe
Comment from : John Daniels

Getting all warm and fuzzy hearing americans using the metric system :)
Comment from : CinemaJunkie

I'm using a 10 meter passive copper bullet train HDMI for my Epson 6050 Works well and has all the certifications on the jacket for inspection/safety

My TV just started getting these grey-black lines across it Gonna have to buy a new TV now
Comment from : Hank

Ok, super dumb question: Why wouldn’t you just get an Apple TV and a separate set of powered speakers or avr/speakers in all 5 or 6 areas of your home Why would you put all those wires in?
Comment from : Novilicious

It took me far longer to get a 25ft 4k hdr that actually could push full 4k hdr with proper audio than I care to admit I hope this video can prevent others from the headache that I had
Comment from : Nstern2

So no recommendations for wireless? I still appreciate this video, but I was hoping to have a wireless solution that has been tested and subsequently recommended
Comment from : Joe S

greatbr I'm your fan
Comment from : おまつりJAPAN

Great stuff Gene and Jason! I'm building a theater now and ran fiber HDMI cables as well as conduit everywhere for futureproofing and 2 additional zones of video
Comment from : Adam Jannetta

i have avpro edge AC-EX40-444 with 10meters of cat7shielded between them from my denon 8500 to a samsung qnfnthere is a video delay of 10 to 15 seconds when switching devices,its annoyingim thinking of using some bullet train optic hdmi cables if it would cut the video switch delay time at least by halfwhats your thoughts?
Comment from : tim

Good information
Comment from : Victor Pulos

instead of using cables that will eventually be obsolete, pipe it in conduit so you can pull whatever you want in the future I would probably run Smurf but I haven't wired a house in 25 years so there is likely something better by now
Comment from : wober777

I use the same Belkin HDMI cables to connect each line, I believe they should all match !
Comment from : Paul

4k cables? That's future proof?
Comment from : pjcd1961

Done this over 8 years ago Simple Use cat 6 Ethernet cable with HDMI connection Thank me later
Comment from : Kyle Fpv

Great video Gene, I have a quick tip, the Apple tv also can test your HDMI cable
Comment from : High-End Bro

I worked at a hospital, and we planned 10 years out Get it done while you are at the site
Comment from : Buddy Guy

i use cat 8, why not just use that, any reason why not ? awesome video as usual, thx guys
Comment from : Chris S

But do you get input or delay over these long runs ?
Comment from : Chris S

A very interesting subject but also a complicated one Expert advice is definitely needed I need to do a simple thing of running a USB cable from an iPad to my amp for best audio quality, the length is 8 metres I’ve ordered a Supra USB cable because they say their USB cable will go up to 15 metres Hopefully 8 metres will be ok and the audio quality will sound very good I can’t measure the quality so I will just have to judge it by my old ears
Comment from : AUSSIE

Supras hdmi 10 m no loss!
Comment from : David Elmquist

This one should be helpful for many Cheers and happy memorial day to Gene and Co just added two more speakers to my home theater and now have 112 channels Preparing for Top Gun Maverick on 4k Bluray Tested w blade runner 2049 and mad max fury road Really put the system through its paces Just glorious
