Product Features
Technical Overview
This active HDMI cable delivers the complete HDMI 2.0 feature set, including HDCP 2.2 content protection, HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) for network sharing, and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) for simplified device management. The 24 AWG copper conductors and active signal conditioning maintain the 18Gbps data rate required for 4K HDR content.
The cable supports a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates: 3840x2160 at 60Hz, 2560x1440 at 144Hz, and 1920x1080 at 240Hz. This flexibility accommodates everything from 4K presentations to high-refresh-rate gaming and professional video production workflows.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The active design represents the primary advantage, enabling stable 4K 60Hz transmission over 10 meters—a distance where passive cables typically fail. This makes it ideal for conference rooms, digital signage, and professional AV installations where source and display are separated by significant distance.
Superior Construction Quality
Gold-plated HDMI connectors rated for over 10,000 insertion cycles ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The durable Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket is halogen-free and RoHS compliant, while strain reliefs protect connection points.
- Gold-plated connectors
- TPE jacket with strain relief
- Halogen-free and RoHS compliant
- Braided shield for EMI protection
Comprehensive Device Compatibility
Connects to UHD displays, cameras, external GPUs, projectors, video walls, workstations, A/V receivers, soundbars, and all HDMI-enabled video devices. Backward compatibility with HDMI 1.4 and 1.2 devices ensures broad system integration.
- UHD displays and projectors
- External GPUs and workstations
- A/V receivers and soundbars
- HDMI 1.4/1.2 backward compatible
Deployment / Use Cases
This active HDMI cable excels in professional environments where distance and signal integrity are critical. The 10-meter length and active signal technology make it particularly valuable for fixed installations where cable routing cannot be shortened.
In conference rooms and boardrooms, it reliably connects media PCs or presentation systems to large displays or projectors mounted at a distance. For digital signage and video walls, it maintains 4K quality across extended runs between media players and display arrays.
Professional AV Installations
Ideal for integrators needing reliable 4K signal transmission in conference rooms, lecture halls, and control rooms where source equipment is rack-mounted away from displays.
High-Performance Computing
Supports external GPU enclosures and high-refresh-rate gaming setups requiring 1440p at 144Hz or 1080p at 240Hz over extended distances.
Physical Profile
The cable features a black Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket that balances durability with flexibility, tested to withstand 2,000 bending cycles at ±60 degrees. Aluminum Mylar foil shielding combined with braided shielding provides enhanced EMI protection in electrically noisy environments. With an approximate weight of 1.70 pounds (771 grams), the cable manages its length without excessive bulk.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.70 lb (771.11 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What makes this an 'active' HDMI cable and why does it matter?
This cable incorporates an integrated active chipset that amplifies and conditions the HDMI signal along the 10-meter length. Unlike passive copper cables that suffer signal degradation over distance, the active technology maintains full 4K 60Hz performance where passive cables typically fail, making it essential for long-distance installations in conference rooms and professional AV setups.
What resolutions and refresh rates does this HDMI cable support?
The cable supports 3840x2160 (4K UHD) at 60Hz, 2560x1440 (1440p) at 144Hz, and 1920x1080 (1080p) at 240Hz. This range accommodates high-resolution presentations, high-refresh-rate gaming, and professional video production, with the active design ensuring stable performance at these specifications over the full 10-meter length.
Is this cable compatible with HDR content?
Yes, the cable fully supports Dynamic HDR10 with 12-bit color processing for vibrant HDR content.
