Cable Leader - High-Speed HDMI Port Saver Extension Cable Male to Female, 30 AWG 4K Support to Protect Wall-Mount TV HDMI Port - Black
Model: HM122-128N
SKU: 12605586
Repeated plug/unplug cycles wear out the TV's built-in HDMI port — and replacing a built-in HDMI port on a wall-mounted TV is expensive (often replace-the-board territory). The port saver stays in the TV permanently; the actual HDMI cable plugs into the port saver's female end and absorbs all the bend, twist, and disconnect stress.
Rated to High-Speed HDMI with 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. Carries 4K Ultra HD at 30Hz, 1080p at 60Hz, HDR10, ARC, CEC remote pass-through, and HDMI Ethernet Channel — no signal degradation from the short 8-inch insertion.
Compatible with wall-mounted TVs, monitors with rear-mounted HDMI ports, AV receivers buried in cabinets, ceiling-mount projectors, and any HDMI device where the port is in an awkward position. Quick check: protect TV's HDMI port — Yes; extend HDMI signal range — No, this is 8 inches; 90° angled access — see angled adapter SKUs.
30 AWG tinned copper conductors are flexible and slim enough not to add bulk behind a wall-mounted TV. Foil + braid shielding rejects interference. Gold-plated 19-pin HDMI connectors resist corrosion. Reinforced strain relief absorbs the bending stress that the TV's built-in port would otherwise take.
Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity, signal integrity, and connector retention. 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.
Plugging a stiff HDMI cable into a wall-mounted TV — and the cable's weight and tight bend radius is putting hundreds of dollars worth of TV at risk every time it's pulled or adjusted? This 8-inch HDMI Port Saver Extension takes the bend stress off the TV's built-in HDMI port. Plug the long HDMI cable into the female end of the port saver instead of directly into the TV; the port saver's male end stays in the TV and absorbs all the pulling, bending, and connect/disconnect cycles. Built with 30 AWG tinned copper conductors, foil + braid shielding, gold-plated 19-pin connectors, and a flexible PVC jacket. Compatible with wall-mounted TVs, monitors with rear-mounted HDMI ports, AV receivers in tight cabinets, and any HDMI device where port access is awkward — does not extend signal range; this is a stress relief, not a length extension. Supports 4K Ultra HD, 1080p, HDR10, ARC, CEC, and HDMI Ethernet Channel. Best for: protecting expensive built-in HDMI ports on wall-mounted TVs and monitors. Not for: long-distance signal extension or in-wall installation. RoHS compliant.
