  Can anyone here recommend an HDMI cable for long distances? I’ve got cables running from my TV to my Xbox in the closet, about a 15 foot distance, and it keeps periodically blacking out. I’m hoping it’s just a problem with the cables and not the TV or Xbox.
  
  TIA

  I would go with anything from Amazon or go to Slickdeals.net. I generally trust the reviews and recommendations from Slickdeals. Amazon you just have to be careful because companies have been spamming obviously.
  
  Edit: Also I have had cables go bad before. PIA to run more but I have noticed the longer they are the faster they go bad. It depends if they get pinched or something I think.

  Monoprice generally has good quality cables for cheap as well.

    I second Monoprice. Very good prices and good cables. I will say that I did get one dud cable from them once, but I have purchased many cables from them over the years, and I have been very pleased. (I didn’t bother contacting them about the dud cable, so I can’t comment on their customer service. The cable was so inexpensive that it just wasn’t worth it to me to worry about it.)
