Product Description To maintain performance for longer runs of HDMI cable, we have Active Wire, a long HDMI cable with a range of up to 25 metres without any loss of signal quality. Passive HDMI cables (HDMI cables without active electronic assistance) in general only have an effective range for High Speed signal bandwidth performance of up to 8 metres. Anything over this and there is potential for signal range issues, reduced resolution support or voltage drop. All undesirable in terms of optimum HDMI video & amp; audio performance. Active Wire's USB connector adds extra current to push the signal longer distances and removes interference from the HDMI transmission that normally reduces cable bandwidth - effectively boosting the transmission distance. Active Wire cable is fully compatible with every HDMI device on the market and all HDMI specification version features including v.2.0. Supporting full-HD (1080p video resolutions and beyond), 3D content, 4K resolutions, Audio Return Channel (ARC) plus an additional, dedicated data channel, known as the HDMI Ethernet Channel, for device networking. Active Wire for HDMI cables let you connect any HDMI Source such as a 3D Blu-ray player, HD box or games console, or other HDMI device to a HDMI equipped HDTV or A/V receiver.*IMPORTANT - This is a directional cable so the USB connector must be at the Source device end. Box Contains 1 x 8m ActiveWire HDMI Cable

High recommend as the cable is fantastic. Be warned though that the 8m wire I received had a mid-wire unit.
I have a projector on the wall which sometimes dropped connection with the 7m cable i was using. I was advised to get one the ActiveWire wires as the usb power cable boosts the signal. The cable is great and I've had no issues. I would highly recommend but be warned that despite the the note in the description..."PLEASE NOTE, we have recently upgraded our ActiveWire cables, the equalisation chipset is now encased within the headshell, so will not be present as a mid-wire unit"... the 8m cable I received presented with a mid-wire unit. Fortunately for me it didn't impact my wire trunking, as I went through the loft, but it may affect others depending on how they trunk the wire.

The cable arrived in good time and seems to work well with my Blu ray player and projector however the equalisation chipset/device is in the middle of the cable even though the seller suggests they have moved it to one of the ends. This does not affect me as I don't encase the cable within trunking but I know some purchasers may wish to so this is for their information.

Having had issues with another manufacturer's HDMI I thought I would upgrade but as the part was over £40 I wanted advice. It was delivered quickly and fully in a number of emails that explained and reassured. When the item arrived two days later it not only lived up to expectatins but blew them away. The already good HD image via an Oppo Blu ray to Denon receiver to 3D projector has leaped in detail and clarity. I cannot see me buying leads from anywhere else following this purchase. Superb!

Great..
Very well made cable, perfect over longer distance. I put mine across the room under the floor boards so the size of the booster connector was not a problem.
