Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable delivers 18 Gbps bandwidth to support uncompressed 4K video at 60 frames per second with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. It implements full HDMI 2.0 feature sets including 32 audio channels, 3D video passthrough, 21:9 cinema aspect ratios, and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) for single-remote operation of connected devices.
The active circuitry uses signal boosting technology to overcome attenuation that typically affects passive cables beyond 25 feet. This maintains pixel-perfect video quality and timing integrity across the entire 50-foot span. The 24 AWG conductors provide low resistance for power delivery to the active components while maintaining flexibility.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This HDMI cable solves the common challenge of maintaining 4K signal integrity over long distances where passive cables fail. The integrated active amplification ensures consistent performance without external power adapters, simplifying installation while guaranteeing specification-compliant output.
Professional-Grade Durability
The CL2 fire-rated jacket meets building code requirements for in-wall installations, while aluminum-mylar foil shielding protects against electromagnetic interference that can cause sparkles or dropouts in the video signal.
- CL2 rated for in-wall use
- Aluminum-mylar foil shielding
- Metal connector shells
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion and maintain optimal conductivity, while the active circuitry compensates for cable loss to deliver clean signals at maximum HDMI 2.0 specifications over the entire 50-foot length.
- Active signal boosting
- Gold-plated connectors
- 18 Gbps bandwidth maintained
Deployment / Use Cases
This long-distance HDMI solution is ideal for professional AV installations where equipment must be located far from displays. Conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage deployments, and home theaters benefit from the cable's ability to deliver pristine 4K content from source devices to distant screens without signal degradation.
The CL2 rating specifically addresses commercial and residential building code requirements for cables running through walls, ceilings, or conduit. This makes it suitable for integrators installing permanent AV systems in offices, educational facilities, hospitality venues, and residential custom installations where cables must be concealed for aesthetic and safety reasons.
Commercial AV Integration
Connect media players, computers, or switchers to ceiling-mounted projectors or wall-mounted displays in boardrooms, lecture halls, and control rooms with reliable 4K signal transmission.
- Conference room presentations
- Digital signage distribution
- Classroom teaching stations
Residential Home Theater
Run cables through walls to connect gaming consoles, streaming devices, or AV receivers to distant televisors or projectors while maintaining full 4K HDR quality for immersive entertainment experiences.
- Whole-home distribution
- Gaming setup extensions
- Media room installations
Physical Profile
The cable features a flexible black PVC jacket that balances durability with manageable handling during installation. At approximately 0.10 ounces per foot, the lightweight construction reduces stress on HDMI ports while allowing for clean routing through tight spaces. The slim profile facilitates installation in crowded conduit or behind wall trim without excessive bulk.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.10 oz (2.83 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What makes this HDMI cable 'active' and why is that important?
This cable contains integrated circuitry that amplifies the HDMI signal to overcome the natural attenuation that occurs over long cable runs. Unlike passive cables that lose signal strength beyond 25 feet, this active design maintains full 18 Gbps bandwidth and 4K resolution at 60Hz across the entire 50-foot length without requiring an external power adapter. The bus-powered amplification draws minimal power directly from the HDMI source device.
Can this cable be installed inside walls legally?
Yes, the CL2 rating indicates the jacket material meets specific fire safety standards for cables installed in walls, ceilings, and other concealed spaces in residential and commercial buildings. This certification ensures compliance with National Electrical Code and local building code requirements for low-voltage cable installations, making it suitable for professional AV integration where cables must be hidden from view.
What resolution and refresh rate does this HDMI 2.0 cable support?
The cable supports up to 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a 60Hz refresh rate with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for uncompressed video quality. It also maintains backward compatibility with lower resolutions including 1080p, 1440p, and standard HD formats. The 18 Gbps bandwidth ensures sufficient data throughput for 4K content with HDR metadata and multi-channel audio.
Does this cable support HDR content and what HDR formats?
Yes, the cable supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) content transmission, which provides greater contrast between dark and bright areas of the image along with expanded color gamut. While specific HDR format compatibility depends on the connected source and display devices, the cable's 18 Gbps bandwidth and HDMI 2.0 specification ensure it can carry HDR metadata for formats like HDR10 that are part of the HDMI 2.0 standard.
What devices are compatible with this HDMI cable?
The cable works with any HDMI-equipped device including 4K televisions, computer monitors, projectors, gaming consoles, media players, AV receivers, and laptops. It specifically supports devices with HDMI 2.0 ports or earlier versions, and its Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functionality allows compatible devices to be controlled with a single remote. The male-to-male connectors fit standard HDMI ports without requiring adapters.
What is the warranty coverage for this HDMI cable?
StarTech.com provides a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty ensures replacement or repair if the cable fails under normal use conditions. The durable construction with gold-plated connectors, shielding, and CL2-rated jacket is designed for long-term reliability in both permanent installations and frequent connection/disconnection scenarios.
What resolution or display format is specified?
It features a display specification of 3840 x 2160, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
