I Need HDMI Extender Suggestions

[SurferJoe]

I'm looking to get a high quality hdmi over ethernet extender that is as future proof as possible. Any suggestions or important notes would be greatly appreciated. If there is a better method of extending hdmi I'm all ears.
My run will be 90 feet.

TIA,
Joe

If I were you I'd use CAT6 STP cable run and use for starter inexpensive extender like one below ($18). If you unsutisfied with performance/features you could always re-use the cat6 cable run and get different extender like one from Gefen for $600

Having just dealt with this but not having any Cat6, I used a Spectrum extender that uses 2) Cat5e/6 and has a power supply at the TV end. I made sure that the wire ends were equal length and it still had issues over 65' @ 1080p. I have heard that Panasonic BD players are a bit more finnicky with these and that's what I'm using in this system. The TV can up-convert and after changing the BD output resolution to 720p, it works great.

I have been told that the Key Digital work, period. Gefen is sometimes looked at as slightly lower and Spectrum is regarded as good for the price. I would hope the Spectrum work- Jeff Boccaccio is one of the company owners and he's also an owner of the company everyone sends their cables to for certification.

I would recommend checking KVMSwitchTech. They offer a wide range of HDMI Extender solutions. I have used their long range extender units in the past and they work great. You can extend up to 330ft with full 3D support, IR and RS232 control.

My brother uses one of these to go out to his garage, works from what I have seen.
