CEC Blocker for ARC Setups

The BlueRigger HDMI CEC Less Adapter sits between a source device and a display to stop unwanted Consumer Electronics Control signals while passing video and audio. It suits owners of soundbars or AV receivers who need ARC to stay active but want to prevent automatic input switching or power commands from a PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, streaming stick or PC.

Male-to-Female Inline Format

The adapter plugs directly into an HDMI port on the TV, projector or receiver and accepts a standard HDMI cable from the source. Its compact metal-jacket body fits behind wall-mounted screens or in tight AV racks without blocking adjacent ports. No external power is required and the single-channel design keeps the signal path simple for 4K UHD, 3D, 1080p and 48-bit deep colour content.

Passive Operation and Signal Integrity

With a pure copper core and 24K gold-plated contacts the unit maintains 10.2 Gbps bandwidth at 340 MHz while drawing a maximum of 1 amp from the source. It passes ARC, Ethernet and TrueHD 7.1 audio without added latency or noise. The adapter must not be placed on the ARC or eARC link to the soundbar; it is intended for the other HDMI inputs only.

Questions about this item

Does the 10.2 Gbps bandwidth limit 4K HDR playback?

The adapter supports 4K UHD, 3D, ARC and Ethernet at 10.2 Gbps and 340 MHz, passing through 4K content without blocking ARC or eARC when used on non-ARC inputs.

Does the adapter generate heat or noise during continuous use?

It is a passive device with no power supply or active components, so it produces no heat or noise while blocking CEC signals on HDMI sources.

What HDMI source devices must already be in place for this blocker to function?

Connect it between the TV and each HDMI source such as a PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Apple TV or laptop; do not place it on the ARC/eARC soundbar link.
