Of course, the problem there is that that would not occur to most customers. And since so many six-foot cables are NOT built to that 50 foot specification, you could be setting yourself up for trouble in that scenario. Ideally, the wall plate itself would have a signal booster chip on it, to allow for maximum flexibility. Yes, that is true.

What happens if a situation calls for a 6 foot HDMI cable from a Blu Ray player to a wall plate, then the wall plate to a receiver via a 50 foot HDMI cable? That 6 foot HDMI cable will create a weak link. You would need a 6 foot HDMI cable built to the specification of a 50 ft cable to carry the signal the distance it has to go.
