C2G HDMI In-Line Extender 4K 60Hz Female to Female

The C2G 42394 is an in-line HDMI extender that joins two standard HDMI cables and carries uncompressed audio and video farther than a single run can manage. By placing this small device between the source and the display, you can send a 4K signal at 60Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma up to 82 feet, or a 1080p signal up to 164 feet, without visible loss of detail or motion smoothness.

The extender supports a data rate of 18Gbps and is fully compliant with HDCP 2.2, so protected content from Blu-ray players, streaming boxes, or game consoles passes through without issue. Both ports are female HDMI, so existing cables plug in directly, and most setups run without external power. If a low-power source device is used, the included DC-to-USB cable provides the extra boost needed for stable operation.

Installation is straightforward. Labelled Source and Display ports remove any guesswork, and the compact housing tucks behind a wall plate, inside a rack, or behind a flat panel. No menu to configure and no software to update means you can finish the job quickly and move on.

Situations that benefit from the extender include a conference room where a table connectivity box needs to reach a ceiling-mounted projector, a classroom with a media cart at the back and a large display at the front, or a home theater where the AV receiver sits in a cabinet several rooms away from the TV. Anyone who wants reliable 4K performance on a long HDMI run, without the cost or complexity of active cables, will find this device useful.
