No, it will not push 50' reliably. 35' is the "guaranteed", reliable distance for HDMI protocol in general when using CERTIFIED quality cables going directly from source to display. Some may get a further distance (45' - 50') but it depends on SEVERAL varibles: 1) The source box (Dish, Direct TV, Xbox, etc), 2) Your display, 3) Your cable. Best advice - trial and error. Start with high quality cables running the particular distance BEFORE you introduce a "speed bump" like a splitter or switch. You might try equal lengths of all three cables to/from this splitter (e.g. 6 ft HDMI cables) to test the device. Then increase your cable length the minimum you must to the display. Don't bend the cable, be careful with the connector. PS Make sure your source (Xbox, Dish etc) is set up to output the appropriate resolution & audio protocol you need for your display / room / etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've used mine from bedroom to backyard...2 tvs same time...around 75 feet. It could probably go farther... Buy fat cables!
