Good fiber at a good price

Some of you know this, many of you don't. HDMI for 2020 should still be able to deliver a high bandwidth signal to keep up with the technology paradigm we have now - 4K, Dolby Atmos and who knows what other new technologies and upgrades are around the corner. For any HDMI that is over 6 to 8 feet long, you should look for a fiber optic based HDMI cable. Why are they expensive? They have high-speed fiber converters at each end. You need very good ones that can keep up with the speed of video/audio/and other data required by your TVs, projectors and AVRs. As you already know about copper HDMI cables, price doesn't always mean better quality. Monster Cable has pocketed you millions by convincing you their products are the best. But that myth has been debunked a thousand times over with cables that cost 25% more and perform as well or even better. Here we are with this HDMI BIFALE fiber optic cable. It's a moderately expensive (but cheap for HDMI fiber) investment that performs as well or better than big brand competitors. My setup has a 4x4 matrix splitter that sends signals to 4 different TVs in my den/games room/bar/home theater. All exits are long. I ran 100 feet with the HDMI ethernet injector. It runs at 1080p with no issues - no 4K benchmarks. The other two routes use AZTEBE 50ft HDMI fiber optic cables. There are some good ones like this - link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KG7C25W/. Then my bar TV works fine with this 25ft cable in 4K. I didn't do any hard HDR testing and this setup only worked for a couple of weeks. But no problem. I always appreciate when people share other relevant gear they use in their reviews so I highly recommend buying it here at Revain to do what I did. Avedio HDMI Extender https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074YVX3F8/ For connecting to the above extender to TV and source, or regular short HDMI copper cables, I really like these - Highwings 6.6ft 2pcs. 4K HDMIhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083QZ8WSV/My HDMI Matrix is a Blackbird 4k Pro 4x4 True Matrix Switcher powered by HDMI and EDID sold by Revain - https://www.amazon.com/ Monoprice -Blackbird-Matrix-Powered-Control/dp/B01GCGK74Y/
