Metric to SAE Cable Lengths
Most HDMI cables, (as well as CAT5, CAT5e, S/PDIF, UTP and other cables used for audio / video applications), are sold in metric lengths, (e.g.- 1m, 2m, 5m, 100m, etc).
We have prepared the chart below to assist you in determining the correct metric length to order when you only know the SAE, (Standard American Equivilent), length.
| CABLE LENGTH CONVERSION CHART |
| METRIC |
SAE (*approx.) |
| 1m | 3' 3" |
| 2m | 6' 6" |
| 3m | 9' 9" |
| 4m | 13' |
| 5m | 16' 9" |
| 10m | 32' 9" |
| 15m | 49' |
| 20m | 65' 6" |
| 50m | 164' |
| 100m | 328' |
*NOTE: SAE lengths have been rounded down to insure the cable you order is at least as long as the listed SAE length.
Calculating Length of Other A/V Cables
If the length you need is not shown in the chart above, the following formulas can be used to convert between feet and meters.
FEET TO METERS: multiply feet by 0.3048 to get length in meters
METERS TO FEET: multiply meters by 3.2808399 to get length in feet
