My TV is 25 feet from my devices. If I extend the output cable (HDMI female-female coupler, 25 foot HDMI cable) will the signal be strong enough?

I have a 3 ft HDMI going into the device and I have a 12 ft HDMI attached to one of the outputs and I haven't noticed a diminished signal or lag time at all. They are both of the twisted-vein types which are working just fine. Perhaps if you do go with the 25 ft HDMI, there are heavier duty type cables available.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

Really, you will have to experiment with that. Normally, one or two feet would be sufficient for receiving signals. Since that antenna also transmits, it could interfere with your tv antenna. I would try to get 5 or 6 feet from the tv antenna if possible. If not, put it where you can, the cell power is very low and higher in frequency, so It should work fine.

Yes, but you will probably need to use a signal amplifier. The best place to put a signal splitter is in the most central location of your residence. The signal amplifier should be mounted as close to the TV antenna as possible. Also, make sure you properly ground the splitter.

The splitters (2) that I tried at the input end would not work - the signal strength was too low. Just for interest I tried a splitter at the other end and zero signal. Also at the output end, even some 90 degree elbow adapters or HDMI keystones would drop the signal enough to be a problem. Bottom line is the cable is good, just have not found anything that is not a drain on throughput.

If the ipad out put is strong enough to push the signal through 50' of cable?

yes, your cable comes from the amp on the antenna into the house and then goes to the power suppy that's plugged in the the wall before any splitters. It's a great amp as long as your not to close to a transmitter, then it might overload your signal

I already answered, but I should have added that this device alone could not extend the signal with a 50' cable. I had to use the other extended that is mentioned specifically for the Tripp Lite 50' (15 meter) cable. But I didn't have this device at the END of the 50' cable, but connected to the computer DVI port via a 3' cable. Then I had one 25' cable, w/o any additional device, connected to one screen, and the other output went to another screen through (in this order): this device - 50' cable - Signal Extender - 3' cable - monitor. MAYBE this device would work if connected w/ the 50' cable between it and the computer. (I didn't think of that then.)

If there was any lag in audio to either device, it would be the device itself; the extra 21' on the longer cord wouldn't cause the lag. I use this with a 6' cable to my living room TV and a 50' cable to my projector outside. The audio on the TV was behind the audio on the projector, but my TV has a known issue with audio and video lag -- the problem is my TV. I should also mention without this splitter the projector wouldn't work on such a long run. The splitter is powered so that strengthens the signal so that the 50' cable would work. Hope this helps!

Yes i bought cable extenders like 25ft. only 8 dollars a pc. had the male female end..

In all honesty unless your goin to have a much longer cable it will make no difference performance wise. So far this give crisp clear signals for me. That length should not be able to make a difference in the performance

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

I don't think this connector will overcome an inherent limitation of your HDMI cables. If the cable itself is only reliable to 15', This will not overcome that problem. It doesn't contain any sort of signal amplifier.

As long as your distance is less than 98 feet from your computer to your TV then this is what you need. This is assuming that your computer and your TV both have HDMI inputs.

I have not tried that so I cannot answer factually. Logically however, I think that you could. The HDMI input signal from source is not dependent on size of TV output - this splitter would split the output into two components and amplify to take care of any losses. If you try the setup you propose please post results so all can know. Good luck.

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 you may know (hence the question) that every splice or coupling can degrade a signal... some more than others. I have not experienced a need to couple my cat5e nor have I heard of anyone else having the need. So I cannot tell you if a cat5e coupling will create an issue. I do know that I have had to wiggle the HDMI connections at the extender periodically when I lose a signal. The cat5e connections have been holding up. Cat5e jumper cables are abundant because of so many connections (or couplings). If you have a quality coupling you should have good luck with your signal... in my opinion.
