Cable Leader - Active HDMI Cable with Ethernet, CL3-Rated 4K HDMI 1.4 for Long In-Wall Home Theater, Projector Runs - Black
Model: HM117-1175
SKU: 12605606
Running an HDMI cable 50 to 75 feet from a media rack to a ceiling-mounted projector — and passive cables show snow, sparkles, or no signal at all? Standard HDMI loses too much signal at that distance for 4K to work passively. This Active HDMI cable has a built-in signal equalizer that recovers 4K bandwidth lost over long passive runs, and the CL3-rated jacket meets fire safety code for residential in-wall installation in higher-voltage classes. Built with active signal equalization circuitry, tinned copper conductors, foil + braid double shielding, gold-plated connectors, and a CL3-rated PVC jacket. Compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, AV receivers, ceiling-mounted projectors, classroom TVs, conference room displays, and any 4K HDMI source — directional cable: the SOURCE end must connect to the source device. Supports 4K@30Hz, 1080p, HDR10, ARC, CEC, and HDMI Ethernet Channel up to 10.2 Gbps. Best for: long passive in-wall runs to ceiling projectors and far-wall TVs. Not for: plenum spaces, 4K@120Hz, or 8K. RoHS compliant.
50 to 75 feet from media rack to ceiling projector? Passive HDMI cables lose too much high-frequency signal at that range for stable 4K. The built-in active equalizer chip recovers the lost bandwidth at the receiving end, restoring a clean 4K signal that passive cables can't deliver over the same distance.
Rated to High-Speed HDMI 1.4 with 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. Carries 4K Ultra HD at 30Hz, 1080p at 60Hz, HDR10, ARC, CEC, and HDMI Ethernet Channel. CL3 jacket carries a higher voltage class than CL2, accepted by NEC for in-wall residential and light commercial installation.
Compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Apple TV 4K, AV receivers, ceiling-mounted projectors, conference displays, and 4K HDMI sources. Quick check: 50–75 ft passive run — Yes (active equalization); directional — Yes (SOURCE end to source); plenum — No, use CMP; 4K@120Hz — No, HDMI 1.4 limit.
Active equalizer circuitry compensates for high-frequency signal loss over long runs. Tinned copper conductors carry the base signal cleanly. Foil + braid double shielding rejects interference from in-wall AC wiring and HVAC motors. Gold-plated 19-pin connectors resist corrosion in wall cavities.
Each cable is sample-tested during production for active equalization function, signal integrity, and CL3 jacket compliance. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards. If a cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly — no manufacturer redirects.
