RE: HDMI - Faceplate or Direct?

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With longer cables you will generally find them quite inflexible so it
is
very difficult to feed the cable into the back box and then bend it to fit
the straight-through faceplates such as that from LA. There are faceplates
that have 90 degree connectors on the plate so present a vertical socket on
the rear of the plate - this is fine as long as your cable enter the back
box from above. That said the thicker cables can still put some strain on
the faceplate socket when you try to fix it back to the wall. For these
reasons I would go for a direct connection every time and fit a brush plate
behind the rack (ACA Apex have a number of options) to allow the cables to
neatly exit the wall.

I'm running 10 metre HDMI cable to the new projector. I'm considering a
HDMI
faceplate like this behind the AV rack...

Or is it better just to wack it straight into the amp without a further
break in the cable?
