Long HDMI cable help

[markymark2406]

I need to bring a 15M hdmi cable from a cctv recorder in my loft to a faceplate behind my tv in the lounge, I will be chasing out the walls to make a good job of it but unsure what to purchase in terms of faceplate on the wall, any help welcome please

ThAnk you

Have you tried googling hdmi faceplate?
Brings up loads of suggestions.
i.e. https://www.nexxia.co.uk/product/screwless-black-wall-plate-with-hdmi/NX-WPSL-240

There is a LAP one at screwfix, however it has a 90 degree connector on the back, this means that the backbox needs alarge cutout in it to facilitate the cable.
I'd recommend one like the above that has a flying lead with a mating connector on for you to plug your extension into, that will be easier to push though holes in the back box etc.

Re the cable, make sure its not a cheap crappy one at 15m and fully test it works before you stick it in the wall.

I generally just use a brush av plate for my cable exits, which you can get in single or double gang fittings. If it is a masonary wall a lot of times you don't even have to fit a back box, you can just fit, either adhesive, or fixings, the plate over the top of the cable exit.

If at all possible, I would recommend running conduit. Yes, you will need to chase out more but if you then decide that you want to run a CAT cable/whatever you won't have to go through the same process again

I will be buying a pre made cable with plugs already on the ends

Do you need to run HDMI? I was in a similar situation and just ran two cat 5e cables down and used a ethernet to HDMI splitter and ethernet to USB for the other to control. Works a treat and the image did not lack quality.
