120 FT High Speed HDMI Cable Male to Male with Ethernet - Built-in

In this review the 120 ft High Speed HDMI Cable is presented for anyone needing a single long run that preserves digital video and audio. The bottom line: this directional cable with a built-in signal booster is best for long-distance connections where running a single cable from a set-top box, Blu-ray player or game console to a distant HDTV or projector is required. It supports 1080p and 4K video along with an Audio Return Channel, and the review finds the cable reliable for long runs when a powered, directional solution is acceptable.

Key Features

• Directional design: The input must be connected to the source and the output to the display, which ensures the built-in booster amplifies the signal over the full 120 ft run.
• High speed bandwidth: Category 2 certification and >10.2 Gbps support let the cable handle high-definition 1080p and 4K x 2K content and richer color depth.
• HDMI with Ethernet: The cable can share an Internet connection between compatible devices, removing the need for a separate Ethernet run in many setups.
• Audio Return Channel (ARC): ARC allows the same cable to carry return audio from a TV to an AVR or soundbar, simplifying connections in a living room or media room.
• Durable connectors: Full shielding and gold-plated connectors improve signal stability and reduce corrosion risk for long-term use in installed setups.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at home theater installers, gamers, and anyone who needs to connect a source to a display across a long distance without running extra power or separate signal extenders. It suits situations where a directional, boosted HDMI run is acceptable and where 3D and deep color support remain useful.

It is not the best choice for bidirectional runs where the cable must function in either direction or for users who need guaranteed 60 Hz 4K performance for the latest gaming consoles, since its 4K support targets 24-30 Hz as noted in the product overview.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Long 120 ft length with a built-in booster gives stable signal for remote displays without separate extenders.
• Supports 1080p, 3D and 4K x 2K at the specified rates, plus an Audio Return Channel to reduce cable clutter.
• Full shielding and gold-plated connectors improve durability and signal integrity over long runs.
• HDMI with Ethernet lets compatible devices share an Internet connection over the same cable.

Cons

• Directional nature requires correct orientation; swapping ends will prevent a signal.
• 4K support is limited to lower frame rates (the overview references 24-30 Hz), so it may not meet high-frame-rate 4K gaming needs.

Our Verdict

The 120 ft High Speed HDMI Cable is a practical, cost-effective option for long HDMI runs where stability and convenience matter more than the highest-frame-rate 4K. Installers and users who need reliable 1080p and boosted long-distance signal will find it good value, provided they observe the directional hookup and do not require 60 Hz 4K gaming performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable directional?
Yes. The cable has an input end for source devices and an output end for displays; reversing them will prevent a signal.

Does it support internet sharing between devices?
Yes. It is an HDMI with Ethernet cable and can share an Internet connection between compatible devices without a separate Ethernet cable.

Will it handle 4K gaming at 60 Hz?
It supports 4K x 2K per the product overview but is designed for lower frame rates (around 24-30 Hz), so it may not be suitable for 60 Hz 4K gaming.
