So which is it? 2.5m or 11 feet? If it is over 3m/10', you may want to start considering an optical cable. Although most of the better quality ones seem to start at 25' so you might be in a bit of a grey area. Reactions: Epsonfan

At 12' you are right in the area where a standard high quality cable, may or may not work or give less than optimal results. So, to play it safe, I would recommend an active HDMI cable, like those form Ruipro. If you don't have an HDMI 2.3 port you will need a voltage inserter to power the cable, otherwise you will blow your HDMI board. Standard HDMI ports only provide 30 ma but 2.3 ports will provide 300 ma. The issue to consider is that if you use a standard 12' HDMI cable you will always wonder if the picture would be improved with an active cable. Some have reported improved picture using active cables in lengths below 12'.

As cables get faster, the tolerance gets lower for issues with copper over distance. That might have been true for 18 Gbps cables but 48 Gbps cables are less forgiving. A long copper hdmi 48 Gbps may work but may also be more prone to little glitches or drop-outs as well. That being said, optical cables aren't always perfectly reliable either. The Rubipro recommendation is good though. I recently picked one up to try in place of a much more expensive optical cable that had been in place for a while to see if it clears up some infrequent color glitching during playback to my projector and it does seem to solve the issue.
