Technical Overview
This HDMI cable meets High Speed HDMI specifications, capable of handling bandwidth-intensive 4K content at 60Hz. The built-in signal booster actively regenerates the digital signal, compensating for attenuation over the 15-foot length. This ensures stable performance with Ultra HD resolutions up to 3840x2160, maintaining color depth and audio synchronization.
The cable features 36 AWG conductors with comprehensive shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated 19-pin HDMI Type A connectors provide corrosion-resistant mating surfaces for reliable connections. The CMG-rated jacket offers both flexibility and durability, suitable for in-wall installations when local codes permit.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, 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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for scenarios where distance and signal quality are critical. Home theater enthusiasts can use it to connect 4K Blu-ray players or gaming consoles to displays mounted across the room. Commercial installers benefit from its reliable performance in conference rooms, digital signage, and entertainment venues.
The active design makes it particularly valuable for permanent installations where cable replacement is difficult. Its thin profile allows discreet routing behind walls or through cable management systems. Educational institutions and corporate environments can deploy these cables for projector connections that require both length and high-resolution capability.
Home Theater Setup
Connect 4K sources to displays across large living spaces without compromising picture quality.
Commercial AV Integration
Reliable cable for digital signage, conference room projectors, and entertainment systems requiring extended runs.
Physical Profile
The cable features a slim 3.6mm outer diameter black PVC jacket that remains flexible across its entire length. This streamlined design allows easy routing through conduit, behind walls, or in crowded cable channels. At just 3.3 ounces, the cable adds minimal weight to installations while providing robust construction suitable for both temporary and permanent setups.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.30 oz (93.55 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What makes this HDMI cable 'active' and how does it differ from passive cables?
This cable incorporates built-in amplifier circuitry that actively regenerates the HDMI signal as it travels through the cable. Unlike passive cables that simply transmit signals, the active design compensates for signal attenuation over distance. This allows the cable to maintain 4K resolution over its full 15-foot length without degradation, making it ideal for longer runs where passive cables might fail.
What resolution does this HDMI cable support?
The StarTech.com HDMM5MA supports Ultra HD 4K resolution up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz. It meets High Speed HDMI specifications, providing sufficient bandwidth for 4K content with high dynamic range and deep color. The cable is backward compatible with lower resolutions including 1080p, 720p, and standard definition for use with older equipment.
What devices are compatible with this HDMI cable?
This cable works with any HDMI-enabled device including 4K and HDR TVs, projectors, gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox, Blu-ray players, DVD players, digital video recorders, audio/video receivers, amplifiers, and HDTV displays. The standard HDMI Type A connectors ensure universal compatibility across modern multimedia equipment.
How long is the cable and is it suitable for in-wall installation?
The cable measures 15 feet (4.57 meters) in length. It features a CMG-rated PVC jacket that may be suitable for in-wall installation depending on local building codes and regulations. The thin 3.6mm outer diameter allows easy routing through walls and conduit, though always consult local electrical codes before permanent installation.
What are the benefits of gold-plated connectors?
Gold plating on the HDMI connectors provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard nickel plating. This ensures reliable electrical connections over time by preventing oxidation that can cause signal degradation. The gold plating also offers better conductivity for consistent signal transmission, particularly important for high-bandwidth 4K content.
What warranty comes with this HDMI cable?
StarTech.com provides a 2-year limited warranty for this HDMI cable. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. For warranty service or technical support, customers can contact StarTech.com directly with their proof of purchase from FleetNetwork.ca.
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.
