Splice hdmi cable to cat5.
Mapping your hdmi cables.
Don t ever splice or bridge category cable at any point 4.
Mega annoyance is that every manufacturer s hdmi cable is a snowflake.
Get rid of the insulation on the top inch of each cable.
First we need to know which connection is going where since both hdmi internal connections are the same no twisted wires or anything like ethernet patch cables the pinout is very straight forward.
Keep the splice as short as you can.
But ones the cable is cut you cannot measure which wire comes from which pin so i used a multimeter to check which wire belongs to which pin.
Can t hurt to try.
Inch or less if possible.
Or you run 2 cat5 6 cables and a hdmi to cat5 6 converter but a little more expensive then just hdmi.
Don t over tighten cable ties or use plastic ties.
Don t allow the cable to be sharply bent twisted or kinked at any time.

Cables should maintain a 12 inch separation from power cables.
This can cause permanent damage to the geometry of the cable and cause transmission failures.
Be very careful here because some people end up cutting the wire as well.
Unfortunately this is not the case with hdmi.
If you re familiar with electrical ethernet and other well known long lived types of cabling there s typically a standard of colors for internal wiring.
How to splice ethernet cable.
The cost goes up even more with 10 foot ethernet cables priced at 600 for 1 000 feet worth.
You will need a wire cutter to cut the cables you are looking to splice.
Cut them at a length 1 inch longer than your requirement.
You only have to remove the insulation and nothing.
In fact the running joke read.
