How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Maximum capability is not a guarantee for every setup. The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
- Rated: Up to 4K at 30Hz only when the total HDMI path does not exceed 5m.
- Published capacity: Up to 10.2Gbps.
- The source, display and selected ports must all support the requested mode.
- Receivers, switches, splitters, capture devices, docks, adapters, wall plates and extra cables may lower the result.
Audio and feature support
What the cable can carry
HDMI extension and port-relief use. The cable can transport the listed signal only when the source, content and receiving equipment support it.
conditional 4K30. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
1080p support. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
ARC. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
HDMI Ethernet Channel. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
3D. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
A cable does not decode Dolby or DTS audio, create HDR, generate extra frames or add ARC/eARC to an ordinary HDMI port. Those functions come from compatible devices, content and settings.
Construction and routing
Model guidance
Flexible extension format. 30AWG tinned-copper conductors, triple shielding, gold-plated connectors and a flexible black cable body.
- Passive extension; male end to the port being extended, female end accepts a standard HDMI male plug
- Plan gentle bends and protect the connector housings from pulling force.
- Do not infer an in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating unless it is printed on the supplied cable.
- Test the intended mode before any route becomes difficult to access.
Use scenarios
Practical examples
Home entertainment. Bring a wall-mounted or recessed HDMI port to an accessible location
Work and presentation. Connect a streaming stick directly at the female end
Gaming and media. Reduce repeated handling of the original device port
Audio or convenient routing. Create a longer lower-resolution link after testing the full chain
Setup and usability guidance
Connect • configure • verify
After setup, open the television or monitor signal-information page. It is the quickest way to confirm the actual resolution, refresh rate and HDR state received by the display.
- Step 1: Confirm whether the female end will receive a direct-plug device or another cable.
- Step 2: Connect the male end to the full-size HDMI port being extended.
- Step 3: Connect only a standard full-size HDMI male plug to the female end.
- Step 4: For 4K30, do not exceed the official 5m total-path condition; this extension already accounts for 5m.
- Step 5: If adding a cable, start at 1080p and test the source, display and settings.
Compatible devices and systems
Model guidance
Match the connector and the port capability.
Operating systems normally need no cable driver. A computer may still require the correct graphics driver and display settings, while a USB-C-only device needs a separate video-capable adapter or dock.
- Full-size HDMI ports on televisions, monitors, projectors, computers and consoles
- Streaming sticks and other devices with a full-size HDMI male plug
- Standard HDMI male-to-male leads for tested lower-mode chains
- ARC-capable equipment when every port and cable in the chain supports ARC
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The required physical route really suits 5m, with enough slack but no tight coil or tension.
- Both connector ends match the intended ports: Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A female.
- The requested mode stays within the rated specification: Up to 4K at 30Hz only when the total HDMI path does not exceed 5m.
- The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
- Every adapter, receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate or extra cable in the path supports the same video, HDCP and audio requirements.
- A concealed route does not require a safety rating that has not been for this cable.
What this product does
Scope and limitations
- Provides a 5m physical HDMI connection using full-size hdmi type-a male to full-size hdmi type-a female.
- Carries compatible digital video and audio within the Conditional 4K30 guidance.
- Passes supported functions such as HDMI extension and port-relief use, conditional 4K30, 1080p support, ARC when the complete system supports them.
- Moves an HDMI connection point and can reduce repeated handling of the original port.
- It does not upscale content, create HDR, decode audio, generate frames or improve the native quality of a display.
- It does not add a resolution, refresh rate, ARC/eARC feature or HDCP version to a port that lacks it.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini/Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.
- It does not boost or regenerate a weakened signal, and it is not a splitter.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Check this SKU and length on the order and received package before installation.
- Add the length of every HDMI segment and compare the total with the published video-mode rule.
- Hold the connector housing—not the cable body—when plugging or unplugging.
- Test the intended video and audio mode with a direct connection before adding other devices.
- Do not force a misaligned HDMI plug or pull a connector out by the cable.
- Do not treat a chained extension as an active signal booster or unconditional 4K connection.
- Do not sharply kink, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or expose the cable to heat or moisture.
- Do not assume the cable upgrades the HDMI capability of a source, display, adapter or receiver.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Ceiling. A second HDMI cable makes the path longer than the published 5m condition for 4K30.
Installation caution. One gallery image advertises 4K60/18Gbps and another adds broader audio-format claims; both were excluded because they conflict with the 5m title/body limits.
Not a converter. This extension does not boost, split, convert or upscale HDMI.
Route and rating. No in-wall or fire rating is claimed.

Questions buyers ask.
How does the total-length rule affect the advertised mode?
The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
What connectors does it use?
Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A female. It does not fit Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA without a separate compatible adapter.
Can I attach another HDMI cable to the female end?
Physically yes, but the added cable increases the total path. Any added length exceeds the stated 5m condition for 4K30.
Which devices can I connect?
Use it with compatible full-size HDMI equipment such as Full-size HDMI ports on televisions, monitors, projectors, computers and consoles; Streaming sticks and other devices with a full-size HDMI male plug; Standard HDMI male-to-male leads for tested lower-mode chains.
What determines the actual picture mode?
The lowest-capability source, port, display, content format, setting and intermediate device controls the final mode.
Can I connect a streaming stick directly?
Yes, if it has a standard full-size HDMI male plug. A direct-plug device avoids adding another cable segment.
Can I route it inside a wall or ceiling?
No concealed-installation rating is claimed here. Check the physical cable marking and local requirements before any in-wall or ceiling route.
What should I check if there is no picture?
Reseat both ends, select the correct input, try a direct connection, lower the mode and verify every device and setting in the chain.
How should I care for the cable?
Use gentle curves, avoid crushing or pulling, grip connector housings, and keep the cable dry and away from heat.
