Premium 24AWG CL2 High Speed HDMI Extension Cable 5 Length Available - Monoprice® - 3ft

Extend your High Speed HDMI® Cable with an HDMI® Extension Cable from Primecables.

An extension cable can be a cheaper alternative to purchasing a completely new cable to get the extra length you need. This cable is rated as High Speed HDMI® Cable, capable of conducting all the HDMI® features (except HDMI® Ethernet Channel).

However, the High Speed rating is contingent on the total length and AWG rating of the cable as a whole, including the extension and the original cable. As long as both the extension and the original are at least 24 AWG and the total length is 15 feet or less, the High Speed rating can be maintained. With thinner cables and/or longer runs, the cable can be rated only as a Standard HDMI® Cable.

The CL2 rating on this cable indicates that its outer jacket has been designed to burn more slowly, thereby making it safe for use inside or through the walls of residential classed buildings. The CL2 rating ensures that your cable installation complies with fire safety codes and insurance requirements.

TIP: It is a good idea to test cables and connections before installing them inside a wall.

As a High Speed HDMI® Cable, this extension cable supports the following HDMI® features:

• 1080p Resolution - The High Speed HDMI® Cable has sufficient bandwidth to transfer 1080p video signals between 1080p rated source and sink (display) devices.
  
• Audio Return Channel - Normally, your HDMI® cable carries audio information along with the video from a source device (e.g. blu-ray player) to the sink device (display/television). Often times this goes through an AV receiver to drive a home theater audio system. The Audio Return Channel is primarily used to send the audio signal generated by the television when its internal tuner is used, back to the AV receiver, so that you can use your home theater audio system when watching television signals.
  
• 3D - 3D is the latest rage for both home theater and gaming. A High Speed HDMI® Cable is capable of handling the high bandwidth requirements of 3D signals.
  
• 4K - The 4K resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels @ 24 Hz, which is four times that of a 1080p display and the same resolution used by state-of-the-art Digital Cinema systems. A High Speed HDMI® Cable is capable of handling the high bandwidth required for 4K support.
  
• Deep Color - The Deep Color feature provides a minimum of 8-bits per color element (24-bits total), providing for a total of over 16 million color variations. Other versions of Deep Color allow for up to 16-bits per element, for a total of 48-bits and over 281 trillion color variations, which really makes your video images come to life!
  
• x.v.Color™ - x.v.Color™ is a promotion name given to the products that have the capability to realize a wide color space based on the xvYCC specifications and is a trademark of Sony Corporation. Currently, only AVCHD and Playstation 3 devices support x.v.Color™.
  
• High Definition Audio - HDMI® supports a full range of high definition audio types, including SA-CD, DVD-Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio™, and Dolby TrueHD™.
