This 3-meter (10ft) CL3-rated HDMI cable from StarTech.com is designed for permanent in-wall installations, offering a reliable solution for connecting high-definition A/V equipment like Blu-ray players, HDTVs, and projectors. Its key benefit is the CL3 rating for safety in concealed wiring, while a potential caveat is its 3m length, which may be insufficient for very long runs. The cable supports Ultra HD resolutions up to 4K x 2K, 1080p+ at 120Hz, and features gold-plated connectors for optimal signal transfer.

CL3-rated signifies that the cable meets specific safety standards for use within walls (in-wall rated). It indicates the cable jacket material has a higher fire-retardant rating, making it safer for permanent installation behind drywall or in other concealed locations.
This HDMI 1.4b cable supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160). Note that for 4K resolution at higher frame rates (like 60Hz), the HDMI version and device capabilities are critical. This cable specifically supports 4K at 30Hz.
Yes, this cable supports 1080p+ resolutions at up to 120Hz, which is beneficial for smoother motion in video games. For 4K gaming, it supports 4K at 30Hz. Ensure your gaming console or PC and your display also support these high refresh rates for the best experience.
Yes, this cable is compliant with HDMI 1.4b, which includes support for the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature, allowing audio to be sent from the TV back to an A/V receiver or soundbar through the same HDMI cable.
This cable is 3 meters (10ft) long. While it provides a high-quality signal, HDMI signals can degrade over very long distances. For runs significantly longer than 3 meters, signal boosters or active HDMI cables might be necessary, though this cable is intended for moderate lengths, particularly within wall structures.
The data transfer rate supported by this cable is 10.2 Gbit/s, which is standard for HDMI 1.4b and sufficient for 4K at 30Hz and 1080p at 120Hz.
Yes, this cable supports the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature, allowing network data to be shared between connected devices over the HDMI connection, provided both devices support this feature.
Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected to the source and display devices. Verify that the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Check if the connected devices are powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different HDMI port on the display or source device. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.
Confirm that the cable is fully inserted into both ports. If the cable is routed through a wall, ensure there are no sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal wiring. Verify that the source device and display support the resolution and refresh rate being used. Ensure the data transfer rate of 10.2 Gbit/s is not being exceeded by the content being transmitted, in combination with other factors.
Make sure both your source device and display fully support 4K resolution and HDR. Check that the HDMI cable is rated for the required bandwidth (this cable is HDMI 1.4b, supporting up to 4K at 30Hz or 4K at 60Hz if chroma subsampling is used, and 1080p at 120Hz). Ensure the HDMI port on your display is enabled for 4K/HDR if required (often a setting in the display's menu).
Setup: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console, computer) and the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, projector). Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting. For in-wall installations, route the cable according to local building codes and safety guidelines. The CL3 rating is specifically for use within walls.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring an HDMI Type A port. It supports HDMI 1.4b specifications, including 3D, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and HDMI Ethernet Channel. It will also work with older HDMI devices, though features like 4K resolution and higher refresh rates will be limited by the capabilities of the connected devices.
Care: To clean the cable and connectors, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure connectors are free from dust and debris. Periodically check the cable for any signs of physical damage, especially where it enters and exits walls.
