Generally, in any HDMI channel greater than 50ft an active, signal boosting HDMI cable is required. To achieve this signal boost, an active HDMI cable have built-in equalizers, amplification and filtering. Due to the types of wires used to relay signals over long distances, the cable can only carry these signals in one direction – making them directional.
