i purchased an N100 at the end of last year to experiment with it as an HTPC, pretty much the same thing you are talking about doing
i already use Zeskit HDMI cables which are 48Gbps
initially i was testing outside my normal setup, directly to an unused port on the TV
everything was up and running to my expectations so i decided to go ahead and plug it in "the normal way" which means connecting it to my home theater ethernet switch and hdmi switch
tuck the cables, route everything, etc.
of course that takes a little time, at the end of which i was met with no video on the TV
long story short, a lot of aggravation and back tracing i figured out my HDMI switch was only 18Gbps which wouldn't carry the signal, replaced it with a 48Gbps switch and everything worked again
i just wanted to leave a disclaimer as to maybe save someone else diagnosing a blank display with one of these, if it happens re-evaluate the HDMI in your setup
