When going <10 feet (analog or digital) it really doesn't matter what you buy unless it is cut to pieces. Now, when you go longer than that, the Gauge starts to become important due to resistance. Typically more so with an analog signal. You want nice thick wires, so the lower the gauge numbers the better. With digital this isn't quite as critical, but it is still important. With a digital signal, you won't notice any signal strength loss until it really starts to drop out on you. (you get these big blocks and stuff, or just a blank screen). There are two ways to fix this. Lower gauge wire, or a repeater inserted in your connections. With HDMI you should be able to get at least 30ft without a repeater. I think you can do 50ft with HDMI 1.2, but only 30 with HDMI 1.3, but I'm not sure since the documentation on HDMI is not very clear. |
Thanks, my 360 will be right next to my TV, so i'll be getting one most likely between 10-15 feet...
