A 5m cable usually goes for around a hundred bucks. Cheap ones can be picked up at any electronics retailer.
Also bear in mind that you don't need a fancy brand: the signal is digital so even a budget one will do the job just fine.
Awesome thanks for the info I was expecting it to be like R2000.00 so thats great newsOriginally Posted by RustPuppet
Hey man. Here is something that you might want to have a look at. Very interesting. You basically use Ethernet Cables to HDMI. very nice.
CPU: i7 2600k // ASUS Maximus IV EXTREME [email protected] // Corsair 8gig DDR3 @ 1600mhz // ASUS GTX580 DirectCU2 // 9800GT // 2x intel X25-m 40gig SSDs raid0 // Corsair Force 3 SSD
What tanka was offering i got and it works, however with the exception that, your cable needs to be away from power units (i.E.plugs for charging,etc.) otherwise their will be either picture or sound issues.
Another thing if you are using the HDMi over cat 5 for your DSTV, you will have to make sure the output HDMi cable is HDCP complaint, otherwise DSTV will generate errors.
Yeah, I bought a 1.5 m cable from Hi-Fi Corp for R90 over the weekend. Saw some 5m ones for around R100-R200 mark. I also saw one for R1500

The issue with HDMI cables is the longer the are the better quality they need to be to keep the signal strong. So the longer ones are usually exponentially more expensive then short ones.
Anything longer then 15m and you need to get a HDMI to Ethernet converter
Thanks for the reference, some nice prices for whenever I need some cabling.

Awesome place to find some of the more hard to find HDMI splitters/converters!
My avast antivirus just picked up a trojan on the site. Anyone else get that?
