HDMI extension cable Gembird EB1570964354 0.5 m with Ethernet

Gembird HDMI extension cable EB1570964354 0.5 m with Ethernet is a short adapter cable designed to extend an existing HDMI connection while preserving HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality. The 0.5 metre length provides a compact extension option for tight installations, allowing you to move displays or AV devices slightly farther from the source without replacing the original HDMI cable. The cable supports standard HDMI signal transmission and maintains audio/video quality appropriate for typical home and office AV setups.

Advantages

This HDMI extension cable keeps the original HDMI cable in place while adding half a metre of reach. It supports Ethernet over HDMI so network-enabled HDMI devices can continue to share an IP connection through the link. The compact length reduces cable clutter and helps manage tight routing behind TVs, monitors, or media cabinets. Construction is optimized for straightforward plug-and-play use with standard HDMI ports.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending the reach between a source device and a display when only a small extension is needed
• Connecting TVs, monitors, projectors or AV receivers in constrained spaces
• Maintaining HDMI Ethernet Channel connectivity between network-enabled HDMI devices
• Improving cable routing behind furniture or wall-mounted displays

Key specifications

• Connector type: HDMI male to HDMI female
• Length: 0.5 m
• Supports HDMI Ethernet Channel
• Compatible with standard HDMI audio and video signals
• Suitable for typical home and office AV resolutions and formats

How to use

Insert the male end of the extension cable into the HDMI output of the source device or into the end of an existing HDMI cable, then connect the female end to the HDMI cable leading to the display or to the display itself. Ensure both HDMI connectors are fully seated to maintain signal integrity and Ethernet functionality. No driver or configuration is required; the cable operates as a passive extension within the supported capabilities of the connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 0.5 m extension when only a short additional length is required. Avoid placing excessive stress or sharp bends near connector ends, and ensure compatible HDMI devices support Ethernet over HDMI if network passthrough is needed. If longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements are necessary, consider using a longer certified HDMI cable or active/extender solutions designed for those scenarios.
