StarTech 50ft 15.2m Active High Speed HDMI Cable with Gripping Connectors 4K 60Hz/1440p 144Hz 18Gbps UHD HDMI Cord TPE Jacket

The StarTech 50ft active High Speed HDMI cable is for users who need a long connection between compatible HDMI devices, with support for up to 4K at 60Hz, 1440p at 144Hz, and 1080p at 240Hz.

Recommended For

• PC users routing video from a computer in one room to a 4K TV or projector elsewhere can use the 50-foot active run for up to 4K at 60Hz, without relying on a short passive cable. Community discussions describe similar room-to-room and PC-to-TV setups as common reasons for choosing a long HDMI cable.
• Home-theater owners connecting an AV receiver or source to a distant display can use it for a long 4K/60Hz run with HDR10 and ARC, provided their source and display support those features.
• AV installers and workstation users running a long connection to a monitor or display can benefit from the active cable’s support for 1440p at up to 144Hz, as well as connectors designed to resist accidental disconnection in hard-to-reach setups.
• Users connecting equipment across a room or around installed displays can choose this cable when they need a fixed 50-foot run and want gripping connectors to help resist disconnection from cable tension or vibration.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Connect an AV receiver or media equipment rack to a ceiling-mounted projector across the room; the long active run can carry video to the projector without placing the source equipment beside it, for compatible 4K/60Hz setups.
• Keep a gaming PC in an office or equipment area while connecting it to a TV or projector in another room; this lets users play from the couch or on a larger screen, within the cable’s supported resolution and refresh-rate limits.
• Run video from a PC or workstation to a monitor positioned farther away, such as across a large desk or room; compatible setups can use 1440p high-refresh output without moving the computer next to the display.
• Connect a 4K docking station to a monitor when the display needs to sit away from the workstation; this provides a direct HDMI display connection while keeping the computer setup elsewhere.
• Use the cable in a mounted or hard-to-reach AV setup where cable tension or vibration could loosen a connection; the gripping connectors are designed to help keep the HDMI plug seated.
