Will a HDMI extension cable (not splitter) work with the Touch 50? I need to add a 15-20ft extension to the OEM cable to reach my Cerbo GX. If an extension cable can be used (not supported), should a standard HDMI cable be used or one with combined Ethernet included? Powering the USB with an extension is pretty easy.
What I have found works well is a cheap tablet that connects to the cerbo WiFi hotspot and has the remote screen up on display.
We have used HDMI female/ female adaptors and a normal 10metre HDMI cable to extend the length a few times now.
Everything has worked well. no issues.
the HDMI female/ female adaptor is about 20mm long, basically, it's just a joiner that joins two standard HDMI cables together, Our local Victron dealer suggested this.
Sorry, don't have any photos. I have used powered extenders on other projects in the past, but this is cheap, easy and worked.
