Component cable for long runs


Due to the fragility of an HDMI circuit to electrical overload , I would like to run a component A/V cable instead .
I need about a 28 ft. run though . Will a component cable of this length work as well as a HDMI cable of the same length ?

Thank You

Saki70, I have some Tributaries Silver component cables in a 6m length that I used for years with no problems. I haven't used them in years, but as mentioned the last time I used them they were very good in picture quality, sharpened and color resolution. You may check with Tributaries to see if they still offer them. Also Audioquest offers their Cinema cables in a few different levels in bulk that you could have a dealer make up for you if you don' want to do the soldering yourself. A local dealer audioalternative.com in Fort Collins Colo., has made a few for me and I think he still stocks the bulk cable. Maybe give him a call.
Saki70, no 6m is the longest I have dealt with, but I have friend that has used approx. 10-11 meter out of a Pioneer Elite to a Sharp projector and seemed to be getting very good results. He was using Monster at the time.
I think if he had any shortcomings, it may have been the cable and the path he chose that may have introduced some interference.
