HDMI Active (Fiber) to HDMI Copper

[Ax1lla]

Hi. I have an active fiber HDMI cable going from my projector to my home theatre wall plate (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5F28ZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I will need to run an HDMI cable out of the wall panel and into my receiver. Can I use a normal copper HDMI cable at this point or do I need to get another short active fiber cable?

Newbie here, so I apologize if this is a silly question....

I don't think you can go from fiber to copper. If you want to try, then you have to figure out how to power the cable, this would also be true if you go fiber to fiber. This is going to be a cluster you know what I fear. What you really need is a fiber cable the correct length. That is the only way to ensure you won't have degradations from internal reflections. If you use two lengths of fiber cable you will double the conversions each way.

These 4k cables are totally intolerant of problems. So unless you get a cable the correct length, there is every chance you will get zero.
