100 FT High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Long Reach 4K/1080p

In this review the 100 ft High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet is evaluated for long-run home theater and A/V installations where a single cable must carry both video and audio without added adapters. The bottom line: this cable is best for users who need a long, durable connection that supports 1080p and 4K sources with stable transmission thanks to a built-in signal booster. It is directional, so correct end-to-end hookup matters, but when used properly it delivers clean audio return and good picture quality for TVs, projectors and media players.

Key Features

• Length and reach: A full 100 ft run lets installers and living rooms place sources and displays far apart without extra repeaters.
• Built-in signal booster: The integrated booster helps maintain a stable signal over the long 100 ft distance, reducing dropouts when connected correctly.
• High speed bandwidth: Category 2 certification and 10.2 Gbps bandwidth support 1080p, 3D and 4K x 2K at supported frame rates for sharper images.
• HDMI with Ethernet: The cable can share an Internet connection between compatible devices, removing the need for a separate Ethernet wire in many setups.
• Durable construction: Full shielding and gold plated connectors improve noise rejection and longevity for installations that may be pulled through conduit or wall runs.
• Backward compatible: Works with earlier HDMI devices and a range of versions listed, so older Blu-ray players and game consoles remain supported.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at home theater owners, AV installers and gamers who need a long, single-cable solution to connect devices like cable boxes, Blu-ray players, PS3/Xbox and projectors placed far from sources. The Ethernet channel and audio return channel make it a practical pick for setups that want fewer separate cables and cleaner routing.

Users who need the absolute highest 4K frame rates or the latest HDMI features beyond 4K@24/30 Hz should look elsewhere, as this cable is designed around Category 2 performance up to the specified bandwidth and is directional, requiring attention to input and output ends during installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Long 100 ft length suitable for distant device placement without multiple couplers.
• Built-in signal booster and full shielding deliver reliable picture and sound over extended runs.
• Includes Ethernet and Audio Return Channel for simplified connectivity and fewer cables.
• Gold plated connectors increase durability for repeated installations.

Cons

• Directional design requires correct input/output orientation, which can confuse less technical users.
• Bandwidth capped by Category 2 limits means very high frame rate 4K modes are not guaranteed.

Yes, it is directional: the input end must connect to the source (cable box, game console, Blu-ray player) and the output end must connect to the TV or projector.

Will it carry 4K video?
It supports 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160) at supported frame rates such as 24/30 Hz, and also handles 1080p and 3D content within Category 2 bandwidth.

Can it share an Internet connection between devices?
Yes, the HDMI with Ethernet feature allows compatible devices to share a network connection without a separate Ethernet cable.
