I'm in a situation where I would like to use an HDMI over Cat-5 device but the HDMI is pre-run for an estimated 20-25' length in an inaccessible wall. What is the longest cable you have hd success with on the TV side of an HDMI over Cat-5 device?

Thanks in advance!

Most baluns recommend 1 meter but I have used up to a 3m with no issue. Never had a reason to use more.
Don't read my answer. Someone else will go into great detail as to why I am wrong rather than answer the original question...

I use 6ft. basic Vanco HDMI cables at the end of WireStorm baluns regularly without problems.

If the hdmi length doesn't work you could try extending the cat 5 wire up to the display instead. Some manufacturers don't recommend keystone splices but it's another option at least.
