Have you ever tried the switch with a 20' cable on the output?

I have a long cable going to our secondary TV. I think it is 20 feet, maybe 25 feet. No problems.

I'm using a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI Cable - 50 Feet - CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation - Supports 3D and Audio Return [Latest HDMI version]

Yes, I have a 73" Mitsubishi TV connected through the Lenkeng with a 25' BlueRigger HS HDMI cable w/Ethernet & 3D & Audio return capability with a Cable Matters female HDMI coupler and another 3' Twisted Veins HDMI cable. 28 feet and works great!!!

The output wire I am currently using is not exactly 20' but more like 16' and it works great. I have 3 units hooked up to it, a blu ray, karaoke and an Apple TV. The output is going into my tv and everything works very well!

As long as the cable length is short - under 20 feet or so- you would not lose any quality.

I haven't done that, but I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work...I do like the unit relative to the cost. It was extremely easy to replace my old unit. The cables were the same as the one I took out...about a 30 minute job and I was in business...been working fine ever since...

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

I guess the problem must be with the dipswitch. That is the only configuration problem that might prevent it from displaying the video. Try different combinations of the two switches because only one works in my case. The cable connections are pretty straightforward and do not leave space for error, I think.

I would have to say no. I could not get this product to work correctly from PC to TV on about 25ft of new cat5e.

I have been using mine with my Icom 746 Pro,along with a $10.00 foot switch from Ebay,the only problem I have ever had was that there would be a random whine on 20 meters ,all the other bands are ok,over all,this is a great item.K1DOA

For my uses, I do not need to extend beyond the cable length provided with the device. That said...The DS18B20 is a 1-Wire Digital Communications Temperature Sensor. The manufacturer specs state max operating current is 1.5 mA, therefore, the distance will be limited by Voltage Drop. Do not know your application, however, if distances are measured in feet, I'd speculate 20 ft with good copper conductors. I recommend using a shielded cable with shield grounded at the cable termination end only. Greater distances may be possible. Since this device is not that expensive, you could "buy it and try it."

As this operates as an on off switch, the only limitation would be the length of wiring you use. The length /distance should not affect performance of this switch.

I haven't tried it but this cable is cheep and thin I have had problems with the connections on the ends keeping contact with my devices.

I actually have this cord connected to a 20ft one and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I've had it like this for several months, and it works great connected to my PS3, external hard drive, laptop, etc.

Based on the product description, the switch works up to 100 feet range so you may have interference. Another user suggested requesting different channel which sound fine if you can get that. On the other hand have you tried Home Depot or Lowe's so you may talk to a sales associate who can guide you & in case it doesn't work return would be easy.

I had to extend the length of my right channel. Used a female/male 16 ft. cable with no noticeable problem.

Yes, but connecting two outputs doesn't do you any good... Maybe try connecting it to the line in on a computer.

It should work fine-don't use a cable any longer than you need on either input or output

Yes! I had the same issue. With this switch I have connected the cable box, a PS3 and primarily use the last one to hook up tablets or phones. Make sure you can access the splitter because every once in awhile the auto switching does't work. I don't think you can do better for the price. Definitely recommend this product.
