beefdiesel Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm looking at possibly rearranging my room layout and mounting my TV onto the wall instead of on a TV stand. I'd like to move the equipment into a closet so it cleans up the look. I have been able to find a long enough HDMI cable, but haven't come up with anything to extend the IR bug back to my HC300. Can a guy just cut one in half and use Cat5 to extend these or do they require a balun of some sort? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
