StarTech.com Active HDMI 2.0 Cable 10m 4K 60Hz HDR10 HDCP 2.2

StarTech.com Active HDMI 2.0 Cable (10 m) provides a plenum-rated, long-distance HDMI connection for 4K 60Hz video and high-quality audio. The cable incorporates an integrated active chipset to boost the signal without external power, gold-plated connectors and high-conductivity copper conductors to maintain stable transmission, and a CMP-rated jacket suitable for routing through building plenums and in-wall installations.

Advantages

This active HDMI 2.0 cable supports full HDMI 2.0 feature set including up to 18 Gbps bandwidth for 4K 60Hz, HDR10 10-bit processing, ARC for multi-channel audio, HDCP 2.2 content protection, dual video streams and VRR support. The integrated active electronics extend usable HDMI distances beyond passive cable limits while the gold-plated connectors and 24/28 AWG copper conductors maintain low resistance and reliable signal integrity. The CMP-rated outer jacket provides low-smoke properties and is tested for durability with over 1,000 bending cycles at ±60° for secure routing through tight or complex pathways.
