What is the difference between active and passive HDMI cables?
The main difference between active and passive HDMI cables is that active cables have a chipset in the cable to boost the signal. This makes them ideal for runs of 40 feet or longer, as well as for resolutions higher than 1080p. Passive cables don't include any circuitry, but are suited for shorter distances or lower resolutions.
