The Electrician who did work on my new home ran this cable backwards. Now being finished it's to late to re-run a HDMI. Its the 35ft long and through multiple walls. Is the component in this cable making it a one way in the ends? If so what end? or is it in the cable? If this can be fixed any recommendations would be great.

BEST ANSWER: Yes, there is a chip in the TV connector side that makes this a one way cable so it will not work at all backwards. Do you have access below the floor such as a basement or crawlspace? You could rerun a cable under the floor and up the inside of the wall that way. That's what I did with my 2011 cable runs when I decided to update my HDMI to active cables last year instead of ripping up the walls. The only way to "fix" this cable now is by cutting off the connectors and switching them, but it will be costly as you need someone who specializes in splicing small wires in order for it to work reliably. Even then you run the risk of possible signal loss due to splicing in the lines. Another alternative would be a wireless HDMI transmitter. There will be some minor lag time due to the processing and a quality one isn't cheap, but still cheaper than and beats tearing up the drywall. Expect to spend a few hundred on either remedy to correct this though

Yes, there are chips in each connector making it a one way cable so it will not work at all backwards. Are you sure you can't make a run down the inside of the wall and under the house? When I updated my cables from 2011 to active HDMI last year I just went in the crawlspace instead of tearing the walls up from my 2011 runs. The only way to fix it would be cutting off the ends and switching them, but this is easier said than done and probably very costly as only someone specialized in splicing small wires would be able to do it for you reliably and it still increases the risk of signal loss by introducing splices into the line. Another alternative is using a wireless HDMI transmitter; there will be some minor lag time and quality ones aren't cheap, but still cheaper than and beats tearing up the drywall.

The HDMI connector labeled source has a small amplifier circuit built into the connector to help boost the video/audio signal over a long distance. Unlike most HDMI cables, this cable is directional and will not provide the amplification if installed backwards. There is no easy fix. When I had my directional cable similarly installed I was worried the electrical contractor would not get it right and attached a large (hard to miss) note on one end of the cable reading, "TV Side".

It can’t be fixed. If he ran a cat 5 or cat 6 along with the hdmi, you could use an hdmi converter.

Is there any difference, other than the CL3/2 rating, between the Luxe and Cabernet cables?

Monoprice 4K High Speed HDMI Cable 35ft - CL2 In Wall Rated 18Gbps Active Black
Monoprice 4K Braided High Speed HDMI Cable 40ft - CL3 In Wall Rated 18Gbps Active Gray
BEST ANSWER: The Luxe is CL3 rated and has Zinc Alloy plated copper connectors while the Cabernet is CL2 rated and has tin plated connectors cl2 rating is all you need for HDMI use - the difference between them is CL2 is rated up to 150V before failing and CL3 is rated up to 300V before failing. Both have to pass the same fire safety rating. The real difference is the Zinc Alloy vs Tin coating. If you are going to be plugging and unplugging a bit, Zinc Alloy is the way to go. It is stronger by far than Tin. IF you are going to plug it in once and never touch it again (or super infrequently) then Tin is fine. IF there will be stress on the tips at all, Zinc Alloy is a safer choice since it is stronger and far more scratch resistant.

CL2 is rated to 150 Volts, CL3 is rated to 300 volts. I don't believe a typical HDMI connection would have voltage anywhere near 150 volts.

For the 35ft, what's the difference between getting the 26AWG & the 28AWG?
James V

BEST ANSWER: Flexibility vs performance
The lower the rating, the thicker and less bend-resistant the cable will be. AWG is a rating of how many times a cable could be wound around a wire spool. A thicker cable is like a pipe that has a larger diameter - it is capable of carrying more without running into problems. As such, an HDMI cable rated at 22 AWG is going to be able to carry more data over a longer distance than a wire rated at 26 AWG

Do you know what newer devices that may have compatibility issues?
I installed this inwall because at that time this was HDCP 2.2 compliant.
"The Luxe and Cabernet Series of active HDMI® Cables use the previous generation of 18Gbps chipsets. They were designed and developed long before the HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 hardware standard was ratified. These cables are built and are fully capable of meeting 18Gbps bandwidth requirements on applications where HDCP 2.2 compliance is not necessary. These chipsets are considered legacy technology which may cause compatibility issues with some newer HDCP 2.2 enabled devices."

I am trying to run a hdmi cable from my bedroom to my living room to hook to the tv, by using wall plates at each room wall (hdmi keystone in my room to pc, back of keystone 35ft to the living room keystone/wall plate, and from that keystone to my tv. . the cable says it can handle 4k@60hz up to 50 ft. Is that total length of the run, including the cords I hook from the keystone to the pc + the keystone to the tv? So I have it now as 35' hdmi under house + 6' hdmi to my tv + 8' hdmi to my pc = 49'. So in theory it should work at 4k@60hz. It would be ideal to get a 45' hdmi just in case it wont work under house, and I can still run it inside my home and down the hallway, but not if adding my patch pieces from my wall plate will make it more than 50' and in turn not let me use 4k@60hz.

We would only recommend using our active cables with a direct connection to your display so we would not recommend using this in the setup you described.
It would be best to use a single cable like #14135 using wall plates like #21629

If I'm spending the cash to run a cable 35 ft, you bet I want to run it through my sound system. Yet these active cables all seem to not want to work with receivers.
Has anyone found a workaround for this? Is it only because the receiver won't supply power to the cable when it's turned off, because I can work with that... What if there was an HDMI splitter inline, that could supply the cable with constant power.

Good price and good quality
I have used the Monoprice Cabernet HDMI cable for 4 TVs to put the cable boxes and Apple TVs in a remote rack. They are easy to pull in walls and ceilings, are relatively thin for the gauge, and send a nice picture- can really tell difference between a 4K Apple TV signal and a 1080i cable box.
