Slim Specs Table

Active Signal Boost for 10m Runs

This cable uses an integrated active chipset. It amplifies the HDMI signal to reach 10 metres. Because it draws power from the source, no external PSU is needed. You get stable 4K 60Hz without signal drop. So it is ideal for wall-mounted TVs or ceiling projectors.

Full HDMI 2.0 Feature Support

It supports the complete HDMI 2.0 specification. This includes HDCP 2.2 for protected content and ARC for audio return. Also, it handles 32 uncompressed digital audio channels. You can connect modern consoles, PCs, and AV receivers. The cable is backward compatible with older HDMI devices.

High Refresh Rates for Gaming and Video

The cable handles high refresh rates at lower resolutions. It supports 1440p at 144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz. This suits gamers who need fluid motion. For example, fast-paced shooters feel smoother. However, 4K is capped at 60Hz due to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

Durable Construction and Shielding

The TPE jacket resists bending and daily wear. It is tested for 2,000 bending cycles. Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion over 10,000 insertions. Aluminum mylar foil shielding reduces EMI interference. So you get clean audio and video with minimal noise.

Visual Connector Identification

The connectors feature clear markings for HDMI 2.0. This helps you avoid using the wrong cable. It prevents guesswork in busy AV setups. You can verify the spec at a glance. This is useful for installers managing multiple runs.
