StarTech Down Angle HDMI 2.0 Adapter M to F Vertical 90-Degree HDMI2HDMIMFDN

The StarTech HDMI2HDMIMFDN is a vertical 90-degree, down-angle HDMI 2.0 male-to-female adapter for users who need to route an HDMI connection downward where a straight plug may not fit comfortably. It supports up to 4K at 60Hz and 18Gbps bandwidth.

Recommended For

• People mounting a TV or monitor close to a wall who need a vertical 90-degree bend to route an HDMI cable through limited clearance.
• Home-theater users with a rear-facing HDMI port who need the cable to turn immediately instead of bending sharply behind a wall-mounted display.
• Users who frequently connect and disconnect HDMI equipment and want a short adapter between the device port and cable to reduce strain on the port.
• Setups using HDMI 2.0 features up to 4K at 60Hz that need a compact vertical cable turn without changing the display connection type.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a wall-mounted TV has rear-facing HDMI ports and little space behind it, the adapter turns the connection downward so the cable is less likely to press against the wall; check that the adapter’s direction matches the port layout and mount clearance.
• When a straight HDMI plug or stiff cable cannot fit neatly behind a TV or monitor near a wall, the adapter redirects the cable downward, helping avoid a tight bend at the device’s port.
• In a shallow AV cabinet or other tight installation, use the adapter on a rear-facing HDMI port to route the cable downward and make the connection easier to fit; confirm that the cabinet has room for the adapter itself.
• If a streaming stick or its cable is crowded against the wall or a recessed TV port, the adapter can reposition the HDMI connection downward to make the device easier to connect in the available space.
• For an HDMI port that is plugged and unplugged often, the adapter provides a replaceable connection point between the device and cable, which may help reduce direct handling of the device’s port.
