Hi All,

I am setting up a ceiling mount projector and want to use HDMI wallplates to avoid messy cords. I would like to use 2port HDMI faceplates but am unsure whether I need 1 or 2 HDMI cords running between the two faceplates? The distance between both faceplates is only 10M.

Cheers

Steve

Ok, I may have wrongly assumed that as I wanted 2 HDMI devices plugged into the projector I would need two HDMI ports at the projector & media centre end.How would the setup work with cat extenders (and what exactly are they)? If it's any help I am going straight from the xbox/Apple TV to amp with optical audio cords for sound.

So that I am understanding correctly, You are wanting to use an HDMI Face plate at each end of the 10M HDMI?
Is this correct?
If so, then you better make sure you are using a really high quality HDMI. How long will the HDMI's be after the couplers on each end? More links in the chain more possibilities to break. HDMI & HDCP is a handshake between all devices in the line. Those devices include wallplates and couplers, which are another link that has to hold hands in order for everyone to play nice. Can you not just drill a hole in a wallplate and bring the HDMI through without the couplers?
