Common HDMI Extension Scenarios
How we help create clean entertainment setups
Wall-Mounted TV + Cabinet
The most common scenario: TV mounted on the wall, decoder and devices in a cabinet below or nearby. We install in-wall HDMI extension cables that disappear behind the wall, connecting to your devices with no visible wiring.
Perfect when combined with TV wall mounting services for a completely clean installation.
Projector Installation
Home theatre projectors require long HDMI runs from your decoder or media source. We install high-quality, signal-boosted HDMI cables that maintain 4K quality over distances of 10 metres or more.
Gaming Setup
Connect gaming consoles hidden in cabinets to wall-mounted TVs. Perfect for keeping the gaming area tidy while maintaining full 4K/120Hz performance for next-gen consoles.
🏠 Multi-Room Distribution
For whole-home entertainment systems, we can install HDMI extension networks that allow you to distribute signals from a central source to multiple rooms. This requires specialised equipment – we can design a solution for your needs.
🔊 Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Modern systems often require ARC or eARC for soundbar and AV receiver connectivity. We ensure your HDMI extensions support these features so you get full audio functionality from your surround sound installation.
HDMI Extension Options
Choosing the right solution for your needs
📏 Standard HDMI Extension
For runs up to 5 metres, we use high-quality, certified HDMI cables with 18Gbps bandwidth, supporting 4K@60Hz, HDR, and ARC. Perfect for most TV-to-cabinet installations.
Best for: Standard wall-mounted TVs with cabinet below
🚀 Fibre Optic HDMI
For longer runs (10-30 metres), fibre optic HDMI cables maintain signal integrity over distance with no degradation. Supports full 4K/8K bandwidth and all HDMI 2.1 features.
Best for: Projectors, large rooms, commercial installations
🔄 HDMI over Ethernet
For very long runs or complex installations, we can use HDMI extenders that send signals over Cat6/7 network cable. This allows runs of 50 metres or more with perfect signal quality.
Best for: Whole-home distribution, commercial AV
💡 IMPORTANT: Not all HDMI cables are created equal. Cheap cables often fail to maintain signal quality over distance, leading to sparkles, black screens, or loss of 4K/HDR. We use only professional-grade, certified cables that guarantee performance.
Our HDMI Extension Installation Process
Professional, clean, and efficient
Site Assessment
We evaluate your space, discuss your needs, and determine the best cable routing path. We consider wall construction, furniture placement, and the location of power outlets.
Cable Selection
Based on distance and requirements, we select the appropriate HDMI cable type. We carry a range of options to suit every installation.
Wall Preparation
If installing in-wall, we carefully prepare the wall, drilling access holes and installing brush plates or wall plates for a professional finish. We minimise dust and damage.
Cable Routing
We professionally route the cable through walls, ceilings, or conduits, ensuring it’s protected and concealed. All cables are secured properly.
Connection & Testing
We connect all devices and thoroughly test the installation, checking for 4K/HDR signal integrity, audio return functionality, and overall performance.
Finishing & Cleanup
We install wall plates, clean up any debris, and ensure the final result looks perfect. We demonstrate the setup and answer any questions.
