HDMI cable length...how long is too long ?


I am planning a new HT/Audio installation . I want to know if there is any negatives to using long HDMI cables . I am planning to put about 24ft. of cable between 2 wall plates . Then short HDMI cables to connect the source to one wall plate location and the TV to the other wall plate location . In effect the TV is on one side of the room and the sources are on the other side .

Thank You

Anyone else have any experience with the Redmere cables ?

If you all don't use wall plates...how do you treat the hole in the wall where the cable enters and exits ? I don't want to just have a hole in the wall with a cable hanging out of it . The WAF thing ! Also not very energy efficient .

Thanks
Thank you for the info .

It appears that a good quality HDMI cable may suffice for the distance that I need .
Given the above info...I would like to know the opinion of using a 25' to 30' cable with wall plates . Will the wall plates and additional short HDMI cables on each end denegrate the signal . Will this set up suffice for 1080p
and 3D ?
Lastly , the Bluejean Series 1 cables have been recommended , these run in the low $100 range . Is there a better cable for less than $200 ?

Thank you
Ok... would cat5 work better with the wall plates ?
How futureproof is the Cat5 set up ?
I like those wall plates that were in the links , thank you .

I'm still undecided whether to use the suggested HDMI cables or to use cat 5/6 cables instead . Are there any futureproof advantages of one over the other ? That would probably be the deciding factor .

Thank you .
