18-inch HDMI 2.0 extension cable

This 18-inch male-to-female cable extends an existing HDMI connection by half a metre. It suits installers who need a short reach between a source and a display without moving equipment.

Port-saver design protects host sockets

The female end absorbs repeated plug cycles so the device port does not wear. High Speed shielding maintains signal integrity for 4K 60 Hz content across the 50-centimetre run.

Handles 4K at 60 Hz; longer runs need active cable

The 19-pin conductors support 4K resolution at 60 hertz over this length. For distances beyond 0.5 metres an active or fibre-optic HDMI cable is required to preserve bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated pins on the HDMI male connector need replacement after repeated insertions?

The 19-pin male connector is built to the HDMI 2.0 High Speed standard and is rated for normal insertion cycles; no pin replacement is expected during typical use.

Does the 50 cm length limit the 4K 60 Hz signal before attenuation becomes an issue?

At 0.5 metres the cable meets the HDMI 2.0 High Speed specification for 4K at 60 Hz, so attenuation does not limit the rated resolution and refresh rate.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat when passing 4K 60 Hz content continuously?

The passive copper construction carries the 60 Hz 4K signal without active components, so it does not produce measurable heat during all-day operation.
