If it were that easy, I would do it that way. But if you start
daisy-chaining 5-6 extensions together, you have too many failure
points plus I can promise you that there will be signal loss. Like I
said, it's going through a ceiling and a wall. It has to be one long
cord, not several put together. The projector cost about 1.8K, money
is no object on the cable.

Hi

If money is no object, give these guys a call, they will make any length
cable for you and they use exceptional quality products.

You mentioned tiem was a factor, this may be the biggest issue as these guys
will need a couple of days to make and ship cable.
