100 FT High Speed HDMI Cable Male to Male with Ethernet - Built-In

In this review the 100 ft High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet is evaluated as a long-reach, reliable option for connecting source gear to distant displays. It is best for home theaters, projectors, and AV setups that need a single premium cable to carry uncompressed video and multichannel audio without adding a separate Ethernet run. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in signal booster and full shielding that preserve picture and sound quality over the full 100 ft span, making long runs simpler and cleaner than using multiple adapters or extenders.

Key Features

• Category 2 Certified: Supports a broad range of HDMI versions for compatibility with many devices and enables 3D playback for movies and games.
• High Speed Bandwidth: Handles at least 10.2 Gbps so it reliably carries 1080p content and supports 4K x 2K at the cable's specified refresh rate.
• Built-in Signal Booster: The integrated booster helps maintain a stable signal across the full 100 ft length, reducing dropouts in typical home setups.
• Full Shielding and Gold Plated Connectors: The robust shielding and plated contacts reduce interference and improve long-term connection quality.
• HDMI with Ethernet: The cable can share an Internet connection between compatible devices, removing the need for a separate Ethernet cable in some setups.

Who It's For

This cable is well suited to homeowners and AV installers who need a single long HDMI run from set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, or media PCs to distant HDTVs or projectors and want a cleaner installation without separate audio or network cabling. The directional design means it works best where the input device and display locations are fixed, and where a 100 ft run is required.

Those who need higher refresh rates for modern 4K gaming or the absolute latest HDMI 2.1 features should look elsewhere, since this cable targets high-speed Category 2 performance rather than the newest gaming-focused specs. Small desktop or short-run users will not benefit from the extra length and booster.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable construction and full shielding produce stable picture and audio across long runs.
• Built-in signal booster preserves signal integrity at 100 ft, reducing the need for external extenders.
• Supports 1080p, 3D, Audio Return Channel, and 4K x 2K at the specified 24/30 Hz ranges for compatible devices.
• HDMI with Ethernet removes the need for separate network cabling when devices support that feature.

Cons

• Directional cable requires correct orientation between input and output, which can be confusing during installation.
• Not designed for full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth or the highest refresh-rate 4K gaming modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable plug-and-play or does it require power?
It is plug-and-play but directional; plug the input end into the source and the output end to the display. No separate power supply is required for normal use.

Will this carry a 4K 60 Hz signal?
The cable supports 4K x 2K at the specified rates in the product description, but it is optimized for the Category 2 bandwidth and may not support some 4K 60 Hz HDR gaming modes tied to newer HDMI standards.

Can it replace an Ethernet cable?
If both connected devices support HDMI Ethernet Channel, the cable can share an Internet connection between them and eliminate a separate Ethernet run.
