It would seem that AudioQuest has made it a little easier for field installers of HDMI cables.

I sure hope fluke comes out with a "jack rapid" tool before I have to start dealing with these.

We still use premade's, and nothing over 25 meters...

My company tries our best to avoid HDMI if at all possible; if we can't avoid it, we *try* to use powered HDMI-over-CAT6 extenders. I say *try*, because sometimes these just plain don't work.

We use them (premade), when ever possible, within the limitations of a straight up a-to-b cable. No extenders, adapters, and only rarely a 3-into-1 switcher. The video for longer runs (25meters +) is always component video over quad shielded coax.

Just trying to keep track of 8 conductors is hard enough. But 19 seems like enough to cause you to look for a new job if you have to do this for your job.
