    Is it fiber or copper? Copper is probably not going to get you that far, but fiber can supposedly still deliver a decent signal at up to 60m.

      I don’t understand, wouldn’t the cable need to be copper to be a HDMI? If it was fiber you’d need something to convert the signal back to electrical from optical before the TV no?

        There are HDMI cables that are basically HDMI to fiber tranceivers. The HDMI plug draws power from the HDMI port to use active components to convert to a fiber signal.
