StarTech 8K-A-30F-HDMI-CABLE 30ft Active HDMI 2 1 Cable 8K 60Hz
Overview
The StarTech 8K-A-30F-HDMI-CABLE is an ultra-high-performance, active HDMI 2.1 cable designed to transmit high-bandwidth signals over a significant distance of 30 feet (9.1 meters). This hardware is engineered to support the latest generation of video standards, ensuring that 8K resolutions and high-refresh-rate 4K content are delivered without signal loss or interference. Unlike passive cables that struggle to maintain HDMI 2.1 speeds over 10 feet, this cable utilizes an integrated active amplifier to maintain a consistent 48Gbps bit rate.
This cable fully supports the HDMI 2.1 specification, including 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. It is built for future-proof connectivity in high-end workstations, professional editing suites, and advanced home theaters. The cable supports Dynamic HDR for frame-by-frame color and brightness optimization, as well as Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for uncompressed high-resolution audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It also features Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, which is critical for reducing lag and frame tearing in high-end gaming and simulation environments.
Constructed for professional durability, the 8K-A-30F-HDMI-CABLE features an in-wall fire-rated CL2 jacket, making it suitable for secure routing through walls in residential or commercial buildings. The connectors are gold-plated for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the aluminum-mylar shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The cable is unidirectional, requiring the “Source” end to be connected to the computer or media player and the “Display” end to be connected to the monitor or projector.
