The issue of whether there will be any loss in the 5-meter HDMI cable needs to be considered from multiple aspects.
The signal loss of HDMI cable is related to the length, quality, and usage environment of the cable. Generally speaking, the longer the length of an HDMI cable, the greater the loss experienced by the signal during transmission. However, for a 5-meter-long HDMI cable, in most cases, this loss can be ignored, especially when the cable quality is good and there is not much interference in the usage environment.
High quality HDMI cables use high-quality materials and processes, which can effectively reduce signal loss during transmission. If there are not many interference sources such as wireless devices and electronic products in the usage environment, the signal transmission quality of a 5-meter HDMI cable can usually be guaranteed.
However, it should also be noted that HDMI cables of different brands and models have differences in quality, and some low-quality cables may cause significant signal loss over shorter distances. When choosing an HDMI cable, it is recommended to choose a well-known brand with guaranteed quality.
If you really need a longer HDMI cable for signal transmission, you can consider using a fiber optic HDMI cable. Fiber optic HDMI cables have the advantages of low loss and long-distance transmission, which can maintain stable signal transmission over longer distances. However, the price of fiber optic HDMI cables is relatively high, and it is necessary to distinguish between the front and back directions when using them.
In most cases, a 5-meter HDMI cable will not have significant signal loss, but it still needs to be determined based on the quality of the cable and the usage environment. If a longer transmission distance is required, fiber optic HDMI cables can be considered.
