HDMI repeater not working

[Fatty]

Hello, I want to connect my PC to the TV, they are about 6 meter apart, here's the current setup:

1- PC
2- > 5 meter HDMI cable >
3- > Repeater >
4- > 2 meter HDMI cable >
5- > TV

No signal at all, tried multiple cables with no avail, tried all of them on my PC monitor and all work fine.

what could be the issue?

I've actually had mine connected with a 7m cable without any repeater at 4K 60Hz, the problem is you can end up going through a lot of cables before you find one that works reliably.  Or you might be unlucky and your TV is more sensitive.

Can you tell me the name/brand of that 7M cable if you can remember?

also is it "Gold" plated?

Gold plating does nothing it's basically a marketing thing.

 

I literally just bought a random cheap 10m hdmi 2.0 cable for 16€ and it worked. It's not hard to do for any semi ok cables.

Any chance you still have the link?

my 5 meter cable is about ~4.8$ (3rd world country)

 

there is an 18$ one

but its way too expensive for me, also I am still not 100% it will work?

Seems about as generic as my literal unbranded cable is. Don't pay more for the bs that is "gold plating". It's literally just marketing and directly under that gold scrap is copper like in every other cable.
