I don’t know whether you’ve looked at HDMI cable prices recently, but they are really expensive. Honeywell is trying to supply a more economical solution with its HDMI to Ethernet converter. Meant for in-wall installations, the HDMI would let one use cheaper Ethernet cables, which are widely available in longer lengths than HDMI ones.

The general issue with expanded cables is that the signal deteriorates exponentially beyond 4 yards. While most users

don’t have that need, someone wiring a home might. considering the bandwidth requirements for Ethernet are not as tight as HDMI, I didn’t think that that would be such a good view (especially for 1080p signals), but it might just work, I have not tested it. Please post a comment whether you try it.
