I have a projector with an ARC HDMI output at the back of my theater room. I have an ARC ultra in the front of the room by the screen. I’d like to route the HDMI along the ceiling totaling maybe 35-40 feet. Is there any HDMI cable that can handle this distance? What kind of cable? I have a 50’ HDMI from walmart that skips audio about every 30 seconds for a split second each time, When I moved the ARC ultra so I could plug in with the HDMI provided with the ARC ultra, the skipping was fixed, so I do think it’s the HDMI issue as opposed to wifi or some other problem.

You are probably going to need what’s called an active cable. They combine HDMI with optical for longer distances.
