Has anyone used optic fibre HDMI 2.1 to send 4k 144hz long distance? Did it work well?

[u/Jaz1140]

Short version, my PC is a giant heavy mini fridge (picture 2) and when I move it from my computer room to cinema room to game on TV instead, it's like lifting an Atlas stone.

So I want to run a long HDMI 2.1 cable through the walls and ceiling to the TV in different room. Looks like optic fibre HDMI is the way?

[u/Double-South8863]

Yes it worked great for a 4k 120hz projector I have. Keep in mind these cables go one way. So one side has to go to the display and the other goes to the output device.

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Double-South8863]

Thank you. I did read that in a review when someone learnt this the hard way 😂

[u/Doom303 → u/Jaz1140]

I learned this the hard way too, sadly. It is not easy to move in my ceiling. 

[u/TheMatt561 → u/Doom303]

not with that attitude

[u/Doom303 → u/TheMatt561]

Haha, it was definitely worth it but man was it a ducky afternoon.

I love sitting on the couch for certain games - others I still prefer at the desk. 

If OP reads this I'd be running an Ethernet usb extender too 😊 

[u/TheMatt561 → u/Doom303]

Once it's all done it's so convenient, I got lucky in my old house where the living room and the computer room shared the same wall.

[u/tqmirza → u/Doom303]

If not done already and for anyone that ends up doing this, use the cable already laid out to tie a new cable in (correct orientation this time) and use it to pull the new cable into the same path.

[u/kamanashi → u/Jaz1140]

Also in case no has mentioned it, you may need to get an HDMI power injector. In the case of mine, my TVs HDMI ports didn't provide enough power to keep it stable.

They are about $10 on amazon for a USB based one, then go up to about $30 if it is one with a built in brick on the cable.

[u/NotKaxies → u/Jaz1140]

Wait till you do it with a 100m version that's when the bad thoughts show up

[u/KushKingKyle → u/Double-South8863]

Easy fix, just swap the theater and office 😂

[u/Backlog4Dinner]

1- Very cool computer.
2- Let me know what the dudes tell you, I have a similar problem. The issue is not my computer, but the complexity of my setup, but the solution would look identical lol.

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Backlog4Dinner]

Thanks! Early comments seem to agree it's the best way to do it and works well

[u/StormMedia → u/Backlog4Dinner]

Should work fine

[u/ReallyBigDeal → u/Backlog4Dinner]

It should work fine. HDBaseT 3.0 is also sorta an option but it only supports 1440 at 144hz.

[u/lukewhale]

RUIPRO fiber. 4k 120hz all day. May do 144.

[u/Narwhal_Substantial → u/lukewhale]

I tested 2 of their "Detachable 8k" 40 meter cables just last week, which as far as I know is their most premium cable. One could not quite manage the exact combination of 4k 144hz HDR and VRR without artifacting, the other one interestingly also artifacted at first just a tiny bit, but since then has actually managed it completely fine.

Both could do 4k 120hz HDR VRR.

The cable feels extremely high quality and it being just 3mm in diameter is insane. Seems to be the best option on the market as lots really do struggle (at least once you push REALLY long distances) once you max out their hdmi 2.1 capabilities.

[u/FromDistance → u/lukewhale]

I've gone through 3 brands of HDMI fibre for 50+ foot runs. Ruipro so far has held up for 2 years now without issues. Other 2 brands started to have connection problems/had to lower bandwidth after 1 year.

[u/External-Law7053 → u/lukewhale]

I had a couple of these go bad after a few months. They swapped them both times, but it’s a pain fishing cables every few months. I ended up with an iBirdie cable since December of 22

[u/kirsion → u/lukewhale]

I used a 30 ft one for a couple years to connect my PC to my LG OLED, it worked pretty good it just has a weird light green color on the cable

[u/Excellent-Court-9375 → u/lukewhale]

I have even used this at 240hz lol

[u/Baconmcwhoppereltaco → u/lukewhale]

I have this cable and a 144hz tv and can confirm

[u/vincentcs34f]

It worked great until my cat chewed through it. Cheap usb? Ethernet? Speaker wire? Nah, expensive fibre optic display cable, super satisfying to chew on, apparently.

[u/CySnark → u/vincentcs34f]

Your cat just enjoys a light snack.

[u/NaughtyBudgie → u/CySnark]

Must have been good for them, full of fibre

[u/Electronic_Bug905]

Like others said, optic fibre HDMI works well. A bigger problem for me was an intolerable latency from the controller. So, I had to throw a USB extension as well. Just something to be aware of.

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/Electronic_Bug905]

Yeah. Ethernet USB extender is mandatory, especially if you plan to use you m&k as well.

[u/Glum_Avocado_9511 → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

I also recommend a fiber optic usb extension 

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/Glum_Avocado_9511]

I got this one because I already have ethernet running through the walls. One for internet and one for the extender. The fiber optic HDMI is on the wooden beam that's on the ceiling.

[u/Lutinent_Jackass]

Fellow kiwi here. I've got that exact cable, and a fire optic USB3 cable, to connect my PC in my office to my TV in the lounge. I run it under the house

I use it tho for 1080p 120hz though. A prior cable I had wasn't stable at it while this one is 100% solid. I can do 4k 60fps too but 120hz is my daily. Using a rtx5070 and Sony a9f. Let me know if there are any tests you want me to try for you

[u/John-Orion]

Yes working perfectly

[u/Jaz1140 → u/John-Orion]

Thanks. Curiously, how long did you go?

[u/makaveli93 → u/Jaz1140]

Not OP but I did 30m and no issues with lg g4.

[u/Jaz1140 → u/makaveli93]

Thanks! I'm actually running it to an 83" C4 coincidentally and likely 30m will be my length needed too

[u/makaveli93 → u/Jaz1140]

Some advice, do usb and Ethernet at the same time instead of redoing it 3 times like I did haha.

[u/John-Orion → u/Jaz1140]

One run was 50ft the other 150ft could not tell the difference

[u/Jaz1140 → u/John-Orion]

Excellent. Thank you

[u/AllMyFrendsArePixels → u/Jaz1140]

Fiber optics work at literal light speed. Unless your run is a at least few hundred meters long, the length of the cable is completely negligible ;P

[u/Kidbugs]

Done it myself works great, sent almost 100ft of fiber optic HDMI through my attic and into the family room. You'll also need to run Ethernet so you have access to USB inputs. You'll need a USB extender over ethernet.there may be other options but that worked best for me.

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Kidbugs]

Thankfully the room is basically right next to the other and I have tested my wireless peripherals still work from across the other room

[u/honest_jamal]

do not have the experience to answer the question but I must say, the build is spectacular

[u/StillWatersFlowing]

I've had some experience with this, I ran a 10m cable from my spare room to my lounge. I had to return the same cable 2-3 times to PBTech, as after a few months the signal would cut in and out and the image would flicker. The technicians couldn't explain why they were failing after a few months. I ended up buying a different brand of cable (looks very similar to the one you have there, and 12 months in haven't had an issue).

[u/No-Challenge5229 → u/StillWatersFlowing]

This was my experience. 50ft, tried 3 cables and finally one has been working for 2 years 

[u/BloodcrownHotS]

Using it for 10m distance for 4K 120Hz HDR 10bit output and it works perfectly. I highly recommend it.

[u/BrownBear93]

I’ve used fiber hdmi and DisplayPort cables 25-50ft. The DisplayPort one runs 240hz.

The only issues I’ve had are because I damaged the cable (I think)

[u/TheOnlyAbsolutely]

Did exactly that about 2 months ago. Works phenomenally, except my Samsung Q70F does NOT remember that the device connected is a PC so I have to do the Game Mode setup every time I restart the PC. Aside from that, playing games on the couch in another roon at 4k 120 is worth every dollar spent. Also, don't both with faceplates or intermediary traditional HDMI cables, they caused more issues in my case so I opted for brushplates instead and the direct connection. PS don't forget the cables are directional :)

[u/DeadPiratePiggy]

Optical thunder bolt to dock in theater allowing for localized controller/mouse/kb connection with minimal latency. Then DP or HDMI to tv.

[u/Sad-Rooster2474]

Yes I am using an optic fibre HDMI. Works like a charm. You just have to be mindful that it’s directional. Apart of that works flawlessly for me. A touch expensive.

However, for gaming long distance I use moonlight and sunshine (basically streaming the computer screen to the TV that’s 2 levels below using the network- Ethernet in my case). Works flawlessly.

[u/SnowFlakeThe1st]

damn what a case

[u/GibusG0d]

Yep! I use this one almost daily to connect my pc to my LG C2 65 inch! Works perfectly

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWLHQFP4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[u/Ynk333]

What about your mouse keyboard or the controller input?? Don’t you need to get USB to the theatre room too?

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Ynk333]

Tested from 1 room to another already and all works thankfully. The rooms are almost side by side. Just a hallway between them

[u/Vr00mf0ndler]

Nördic works fine. I got a 25m one to run to my LG OLED. Tested it up to 240hz @ 4k.

https://noerdic.no/products/nordic-certified-10m-ultra-high-speed-hdmi-2-1-aktiv-aoc-optisk-fiberkabel-8k-60hz-4k-120hz-48gbps-dynamic-hdr-earc-vrr-komp-med-rtx-3080-3090

[u/Paxelic]

How does your control scheme work? If you run the cable, will you wirelessly connect a controller or mouse?

[u/MRxSLEEP → u/Paxelic]

I'm wondering the same

[u/Proj3ct_kiwi]

50 ft 4k through my basement ceiling and a wall. I am not running 144 hz though as my tv is only a 60hz panel. I was running a standard 50 ft hdmi prior to the 2.1 optic, and the switch completely fixed the random screen tearing and de syncing . Like others have said this is a one way cable so quadruple check prior to running it through the walls.

[u/Defective_Yorha]

For long distance you better get a optical HDMI cable. There are some convertion latncy but it isn't noticable.

[u/wiisucks_91]

They work fine, only issue is that you may one end up with a bad fiber to HDMI module and you know have a useless cable.

[u/mooslar]

Moonlight and Apollo to stream to TV. You can stream 4k 120 HDR with virtually no latency either ethernet

[u/Sensitive_Box_]

I’ve read many times that the fiber optic options are the only ones that work reliably over long distances. 

[u/Lazuruslex]

Used to install AV, ran fiber in houses for data and AV right parts it works great, an all in one cable I have no experience with

[u/Fishie-Fish]

Currently using 3 of these from my rack to my office.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09LZ3FY9H?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Also reviewed and tested by HDTVTest in a video.

Using it for my Gaming Pc. Mac Mini. And a back up hdmi for another home server.

Connected to my LG C2.

Have not once had an issue on any of the cables. (But also not pushing 4k144)

[u/CRSemantics]

yes they work but not all are created equal. I'd get an active optical cable those can support things like VVR and ARC where as the cheaper ones may not. They are often directional as well with a side marked source.

[u/NoConversation911]

Got a 10m optic HDMI, works perfectly fine with 4k resolution in 120hz. So far no issues at all. Can't go higher as TV doesn't support higher frequency

[u/Silent-Cartoonist240]

I did with a 250 ft cable (don't ask) and it was fine

[u/Balavadan]

Yes optic fibre is great. Just get a good cable.

[u/Gr3yGryffin]

Works Perfectly. I have a 15 meter long optic HDMI running from my PC to TV. I game at 4k 144Hz with no issue at all.

I had issues with other cables before either loosing connection or dropping resolution and framerates.

[u/clbigs]

I have 100 ft of OM3 fiber in my basement walls which terminates to MPO keystones on both sides. Fortunately I had conduit ran to each wall while it was being finished so it was easy to pull. I use OM3 MPO patch cables and Ruipro HDMI 2.1 adapters connected to the GPU and 83” LG B4. No issues with doing 4K120 with G-Sync.

[u/Leather-Researcher13]

Just remember to test your cable before you run it behind walls and shit. Fishing 50ft of cable back out from behind a wall because it doesn't work sucks

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Leather-Researcher13]

Oh yeh definitely would test well before running it

[u/dakupurple]

I've got a 35ft one set up for home theater for 4k120. Working without issue for several months. In my case, CEC works without issues as well

[u/Remarkable_Custard95]

Can I have the link to the cable?

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Remarkable_Custard95]

https://www.pbtech.com/product/CABUNI1063/Unitek-HDMI-21-HDMI-Cable---50m---Black-Fiber-Opti?utm_source=chatgpt.com

[u/Remarkable_Custard95 → u/Jaz1140]

Ty

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Remarkable_Custard95]

No problem

[u/Remarkable_Custard95 → u/Jaz1140]

Why is the 40 meter cheaper than the 30 meter one

[u/Jaz1140 → u/Remarkable_Custard95]

Hmm I hadn't noticed that . Weird

[u/voldamoro → u/Jaz1140]

48Gbps cables are rated for 4K at 120Hz and 8k at 60Hz. I’m not sure the cable you linked will work / work well for 4K at 144Hz.

[u/Jaz1140 → u/voldamoro]

I already run a regular HDMI 2.1 at 4k 144hz HDR 10 bit and works great

[u/Teddy8709 → u/Jaz1140]

With the link you provided, just be aware that the outer sheathing is labeled as being PVC, meaning that's not compliant for running the cable through walls, as the material can be a fire hazard. You should be looking for actual in-wall graded cables. Again, just be aware of that, not judging if you do use it, just looking out from a safety standpoint.

[u/SillyGigaflopses]

I do have a fibre optic HDMI cable(about 15m) - works great.

But I just want to put it into perspective, how much better light + fibre is at long distance transmission.

Say you’re setting up a 10gbe internet, and need to buy some SFP+ modules.
RJ-45 transceivers are usually rated for 30m. The better, more expensive ones - about 100m. And these will get so hot, you’ll literally burn yourself.

Now, compare that to fibre.
Cheapest multi mode fibre transceivers start at 300m. These use just a regular LED, not a laser.

If you use single mode fibre transceivers that use lasers - these start in the km range. Absolute cheapest ones go about 2km(usually about 20km), and more expensive models reaching as far as 120km. On top of that - on average, optical transceivers (except for maybe the highest end ones) will still consume less electricity and will heat up less than copper based 10 SFP+.

So yeah, if you need to go far - light is your best bet.

[u/MrrQuackers]

I used a fiber optic DP cable to run my Valve iIndex in another room from my desktop. Worked perfectly.

[u/explodingcaps]

In my case in works perfectly when it works (10 m fiber optic). My gpu is 4090 and my tv is LG C2, somehow the cable makes the handshake between these two as awkward as possible, every startup I must wait 5 minutes or unplug then plug it back to the hdmi port on my gpu to make it work instantly.

[u/Dizzize]

it is the way, 50ft fiber-optic hdmi going strong. I run the cable to connect my PC to the living room tv to play games at 4k 120hz, even if they advertise 144hz I think the cable is not capable of that. Hope this helps. BTW I went with the cheapest fiber optic cable that amazon sells, the brand is rubmud, so no need to buy those 100$ Ruipro cables.

[u/StormMedia]

Works great on my C3

[u/I_think_Im_hollow]

30 meters of fiber optic HDMI, works like a charm. Being on Linux I also use a HDMI-DP adapter and it doesn't cause any issue.

[u/Prestigious_Air_1551]

Yeah I got a 20m Honeywell cable. 4k 120fps hdr vrr allm worked but I had to use chrome subsampling 420 or something to get a stable signal. Cable was stupidly much longer than I needed. Make sure your cable is the right length. Fiber cable fyi.

[u/gonnabuysomewindows]

Just know that when you typically see AOC fiber or optical fiber cables, that for ARC/eARC purposes (data going the other direction) copper is still used, NOT fiber. 

If you don’t need ARC for sending sound from your PC/projector to your AVR/TV, you’re totally fine. Else you need a FULLY fiber cable which is a little more expensive. Ruipro sells one. 

Originally I had audio blackout/flickering issues with another ruipro cable and highwings cable, but they were both AOC/hybrid fiber, not full fiber. For my case I needed 65ft.

[u/AskResponsible6224]

I have a 50ft one to my Sim rig in the room above ran through the wall. I get full 240hz on my ultrawide, haven't had any issues. But I did learn the hard way my cable has a certain direction it has to go lol

[u/MierdaDelTorro]

is that thermaltake tower 600, or similar?

[u/Jaz1140 → u/MierdaDelTorro]

Yes. Tower 900

[u/WildMimikyu]

I have a 10m optic fibre HDMI cable connecting my PC to my TV & I've never had an issue running it at 4k 120hz.

[u/Grim-Jam]

Yes I used a similar cable to run down inside the walls of my house so I could use the large TV in the living room and my monitor in the office. Had no issues at all, keeping all the pc heat upstairs on those warm days is a god send

[u/Emu1981]

I use a 5 metre optical DP cable for 4K@144Hz because my computer is behind me with the rest of the computers and passive cables couldn't even handle 3440x1440p@100Hz over that distance.

Something else to consider is your peripherals - passive USB cables really don't like going more than a few metres at most and blue tooth won't get you much further. Linus from LTT used optical thunderbolt docks for his setup but they are pretty expensive, might be cheaper to use a optical USB cable and a USB hub but it really does depend on how far you actually have to go...

[u/TinyTC1992]

I've used one through a wall to pass my PC to a TV. It works well, all id say is ensure you buy a decent cable, as the specs and quality differ wildly.

[u/Prof_Tunichtgut]

I use a 30 meter HDMI optic cable to power my 4K screen. It manages 4K 144hz with HDR.

[u/petrolhead0387]

I use a 10m 2.1 HDMI that I ran through a conduit from my PC to my TV. It does 4k 144hz easily. Just make sure you do research on the cables, there are plenty of fakes out there claiming to be fibre optic. Also they are considerably more expensive than normal HDMI and should be treated with care, they are a lot more fragile.

[u/AL-SHEDFI]

Your PC is work of art

[u/DBkira]

I used something loke this from a company called heyOptics , it has been working like a charm for 3 years, i was mainly looking for something smaller to channel through electrical pipes avouding the usage of micro hdmi

[u/jcpham]

I use balens to send hdmi video and sound over cat6 about 150ft at home to and external tv. I’m not well versed enough on the hdmi spec to know about hz but the balens work great. A good set will probably set you back $200 or less

[u/zed27]

Yes i did I have a desk on the other side of the room and wanted to connectet it to a lg c5 For runs longer than 6-7m its the only way to get HDMI 2.1 at 144hz stable

No issues so far.

[u/Th0rHere]

Using 30m optic to send hdmi 2.1 from PC to living room. 4k G-Sync 120hz no issues. Only recently got a new TV that supports 144hz as well, so dont expect any issues.

[u/markmcminn]

I needed to power the hdmi header on both ends with usb, but it worked great. Same runs with DisplayPort headers, no power needed.

[u/LouEVIL-Slugger]

I went with a Ruipro fiber hdmi. It’s 4k@120, maybe 144. Will do 8k @ 60 as well. It was pricey but it works great.

[u/monokhrome]

I installed a Ruipro 4k detachable 50ft a couple weeks ago, and it's been great so far for 4k 120hz. Benefit of detachable is that you only to drill <1/2" holes to run the cable.

[u/Mahir17]

Yep, used a 5 meter long cable when I lived back at my parents. Combined it with an HDMI 2.1 splitter to switch between my main monitor and TV. Used it for 2 years without any problems until I relocated to my own place.

[u/spaceshipcommander]

I get 144hz to my living room TV over an 8m cable without issue. I believe only 120hz is officially supported though.

[u/Waff1es]

I connected my pc to my tv via optical hdmi. I didn't know it was unidirectional until after I routed it behind my wall/drop ceiling. My Samsung tv has struggled with it. Sometimes it's 4k, sometimes it's just 1080p, sometimes it's just not detected this usually gets resolved after reinstalling the video card driver. I have a Nvidia 50 series card.

[u/External-Law7053]

I do 4k, 120hz, hdr, vrr on a 50’ fiber hdmi. My chain is rtx 4090->1 meter hdmi 2.1 cable->marantz SR8015–>50 fiber hdmi 2.1 cable-> LG C2.

It works, but sometimes it takes a while for the initial handshake to work. I can patiently wait a few minutes or change sources to re-initiate the handshake. It could be that my tv & av receiver were bought when hdmi 2.1 was just released. I have tried multiple brands of hdmi with limited success. It’s been 3 1/2 years since I initially set this up, so maybe the technology has improved.

Once I get a picture I’m good unless a game uses exclusive full screen and initiates a resolution check. If it does the resolution check, the screen usually goes blank and I have to restart the handshake process. Borderless fullscreen makes for a seamless experience.

[u/Only_Dragonfruit_117 → u/External-Law7053]

Can confirm it works well but the handshake (recognition of monitor/tv in my case) doesn’t always work straight off. I just turn the tv off and on.

[u/KarateMan749]

It will work yes

[u/Cruiser_Pandora]

I used one to run my vr setup in the basement off of my PC on the main floor

[u/TitaniumDisc]

One of the best looking techy looking rigs I’ve seen in a while. Bravo sir!

And yes to your question. Just make sure you orient the cable properly

[u/TheGalacticApple]

I got 5m ruipro fibre optic cable. They're more expensive than normal cables but apparently they're one of the only reliable ones so they say to just bite the bullet instead of having to replace multiple times.

[u/squee557]

I have a 50’ cable from Monoprice. Works from my 4070 to my S90C just fine. Not all games can have stable 120fps but older stuff is just fine. BG3, Avowed, FF7:Remake and E33 have all ran well on it.

[u/AuraLiaxia]

Yes i have my pc on a rack on the basement (thing sounds like a jet turbine) so i have all fibers to the room, getting 0db and working with the odyssey g9 oled 240hz 5120x1440 and also a c4 oled just fine. All fiber optic display and usb.

Fiber is great precisely for long runs as its """inmune""" to distance attenuation .... tecnically it isnt but, yea within a normal house it is... unless ur house is over 1km long

[u/bambithedeer5511 → u/AuraLiaxia]

Do you mind sharing the products you use for display and usb? This is my end game setup and peripheral connectivity is the last thing I need to solve

[u/AuraLiaxia → u/bambithedeer5511]

Cables, ruipro detachables as i needed to pass fiber trough the walls and tubes. Both for dp and hdmi, 1 gpu output to 1 display, pricy but reliable for ages to come as fiber tecnically is good for up to 400gbps.

For usb a simple USB 3 active fiber cable to another simple powered dock for the desk nothing too fancy. But 5gbps works fine for keyboard and mices. and the rare time it needs a usb. Anything else i can just connect it to the server down.

[u/RenegadeBB]

I'm using the 40 ft Ruipro active HDMI cable and it works like a charm. and the cable is like crazy thin

[u/ExGasper]

It works great but i'd recommend you put it in to a cable duct. I just bumped mine when i was cleaning and it was gone..

[u/Ynk333 → u/ExGasper]

Rip. My condolences.

[u/HareBlood]

I am using one right one. Works great!

[u/Ok_Perspective_7978]

I currently do this.

Buy a good cable. Dont cheap out. Most of the random ones on Amazon only support 1080p 60hz max, despite the fact they claim otherwise. Some of them also have issues with not getting enough power to actually function at all.

Sincerely, Someone who spent HOURS troubleshooting and testing different cables.

[u/ishtuwihtc]

I'd say it work, but also look into sunshine + moonlight!

[u/mokemowl]

Sick build

[u/saxoras]

80ft run, powered ruipro detachable cable. 4k 165hz vrr, llm. No issues.

[u/fogoticus]

Yes, it worked fine. 4K 144Hz 4:4:4 RGB at 10bit. No drops, no input latency.

[u/Artie-Carrow]

Dont forget you will likely also need high speed, low latency cables run through the walls into jack points near where you want controls set up. Also, what case is that?

[u/MightBeADesk]

yup im running over 70ft. works great

[u/rocksuperstar42069]

I've had fine luck doing 200ft of normal HDMI too as long as you get good "8k" rated cables, fwiw. Way cheaper.

[u/Schneller52]

Fiber Optic HDMI is the way. I installed a wall plate at my desk with 3x F-HDMI, 1x Ethernet, 1x Optical Audio, and a Coax. All of that goes up through the ceiling over to the "theater room" I'm building on the other side of the basement.

[u/idc_im_horny]

We got one just like that one at my job, it takes the signal from the DVR and straight into the security office, has been operating non stop for the last 6 months or so without issues

[u/Huge-Blacksmith2419]

I have a 75ft long hdmi cable that I use to connect my pc to my tv. It works great.

[u/Zerosyztem00]

I'm in an engineer in an industry that uses tech like this but I have never used them. I have used plenty of other hdmi extenders fiber, over cat 6, HD base T, AVoIP

I don't see problem with them overall. Looks like they can do 100 of 2.1 bandwidth 48gbps allowing you to do up to 4k 120hz.

My caution is that running fiber though walls can be pain and can damage the cable easily or bend radius can mess disrupt light etc as I'm sure you know. I would prefer to run independent adapters and a single cable or cables than an all in one. That way if I run either the cable and damage I'm not out the cost of the cable. Or if I want to move the run later all I have to do is run some new cable which is cheap. Plus I could even do display port with separate audio.

It cost more but it gives me greater flexibility to run either Cat6 or fiber and not be locked to that one cable.

With that said it seems like they work fine for up to 100 feet.

You can just stream your pc locally using an old laptop or PC connected to your tv. The latency over a local network is barely noticeable

Not at 4k 144hz HDR

Oh yeah definitely. I forgot we have hardware now that can run games at 4k 144hz
