6 Meter HDMI 2.1 cable Do they exist ?

[LaRZ]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you can get an HDMI cable that does 4k 120hz 444 with hdr which is 6 meters long ?

It seems this is a grey area of weather these cables exist and weather the optical versions of hdmi is something to be avoided?.

If anyone has found one that works from Ampere GPU to hdmi 2.1 oledTV,, please let me know.

Any help appriciated!

Thanks for the replies, yes it seems 5M is the limit, unless you go optical hdmi 2.1 ?
I wonder if anyone has tried optical hdmi 2.1 from GPU to TV ?

Seems like its my only option short of moving the whole hifi rack.

Thanks all!
I bought a 5 meter copper cable as suggested, it showed the bios screen, but back into windows it was no input msg...
So it can't handle 4k 120hz 10 bit and HDR like the 3m cable could. Even though it is ultra hdmi 2.1 certified ? should I return it ?

The 5 meter is also deffo not long enpough for my run!, I need that 6th meter god dammit, and that 6th meter appears to be v costly.
Can anyone tell me if an optical varient of hdmi 2.1 is viable at 6m running 4k 120 hz hdr 10 bit?

P.S Thats agood suggestion Doug_1986 as my TV has a few ethernet ports on the wall right next to TV, but it needs to be minimun latency so I guess this would then depend on having a good quality switch ? I would imagine this would add latency so want to just go straight HDMI, but 3 meters is maxium for hdmi 2.1? it can't be so!

Seems like fiber cables are the future for cable tech, as they won't be vulnerable to RF and EMI interference and go greater distances.

And thus, unbeknownst to me...the Smart Cable was born!

Yo thanks for that vid link!
It must be a gen 3 cables.

Just an update, I bought the 5 meter copper one one as recommended from amazon, but this wouldn't do 4k 120hz at all.
So Avoid that one if you need 4k 120hz and need to do a longer cable run.
So I have ordered a 20 foot/6 meter Gen3 cable from Ruipro from the US, I'll let you know if this works.

 

[LaRZ]

Just to happily report!
My cable arrived from the states and I plugged it in and....It works straight away!
20 foot Fiber HDMI Gen 3/B Cable from Ruipro, is currently supporting 4k 120hz 10bit & Gsync and HDCP all working.
I can now move my PC back to the Hifi Stand, yay!

Maybe OCUK should conciser selling this brand.

P.S I didn't need the USB power dongle that comes with the cable, it worked without it.

This was going from Ampere 3070 to Oled B9

 

[LaRZ]

ik9000, it worked without the usb dongle it came with.

 

[LaRZ]

Yep, 120hz
Only thing I haven't tested is e-arc, but it says on the box it supports it.
It also supports 12 bit just checked that works, but is a bit pointless for me as the B9 only has a 10 bit panel I believe.

If buying this cable it must be ordered from Amazon US and be a Gen3/B cable.

Its 48gb, but Ya at $200 its the most expensive cable I ever purchased, but money well spent as it works perfectly.
P.S no one should be buying these cables unless you need more than 3m on hdmi 2.1 48gbps or you get interference on your current copper cable.

I have had HDMi cables black out from wifi interference, which as I understand it, cannot happen with fiber.

 

[LaRZ]

Yes if you only 3m hdmi 2.1 cable = I would stick with copper HDMI 2.1.
If you need more than 3 meters and need full spec 48gbs speeds, I would recommend optical.

Also this optical cable is easier to route via conduit as is a lot thinner cable.
