120ft High Speed HDMI Cable Male to Male with Ethernet - Long Reach

Our review of the 120ft High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet focuses on long-reach home theater and projector setups that need a single-cable solution for video, audio and network sharing. The bottom line: this directional cable is built for runs where a single strong digital connection is required, offering support for 1080p and 4K sources, an Audio Return Channel, and a built-in signal booster so long distances remain usable. It suits users who need a near-professional HDMI run without installing separate extenders or active fiber solutions.

Key Features

• Long distance support: The 120 ft length with a built-in signal booster keeps digital video and audio stable across long room runs so you can place displays far from sources.
• High speed bandwidth: Category 2 certification and a bandwidth above 10.2 Gbps let the cable handle high-definition 1080p and 3D content reliably.
• 4K compatibility: Supports 4K x 2K video (3840 x 2160 at 24 Hz), allowing newer sources to display higher-resolution content when your display accepts the input.
• Audio Return Channel (ARC): ARC combines audio and video over one cable so you can route sound from a TV back to an AVR or soundbar without a separate audio cable.
• Built for durability: Full shielding and gold-plated connectors improve signal integrity and reduce corrosion risk for a cleaner image and sound over time.

Who It's For

This cable is best for home theater owners, gamers using consoles like PS3 or X-Box, and anyone running a projector or distant HDTV that requires a long, single-cable run. It is particularly useful where Ethernet sharing between devices and a clean cable layout are priorities.

It is not aimed at users who require the highest frame-rate 4K at 60 Hz or specialized AV pros needing optical-fiber HDMI for zero-loss extreme runs; those users should consider active fiber HDMI or higher-bandwidth certified solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Long 120 ft reach with a built-in signal booster preserves a stable digital connection for distant displays.
• Supports 3D and 1080p content plus 4K x 2K at 24 Hz for compatibility with many modern sources.
• Gold-plated connectors and full shielding provide more durable contacts and less interference on long runs.

Cons

• Directional design requires correct orientation (input to source, output to display), which can confuse if not labeled during installation.
• 4K is supported only at lower refresh (24 Hz), so it may not meet needs for higher-frame-rate 4K applications.

Our Verdict

For anyone needing a reliable, single-cable long run between source and display, this 120 ft HDMI cable delivers solid value thanks to its built-in signal booster, Ethernet sharing and ARC. It is a practical, cost-effective option for home theaters and projector setups that do not demand the highest 4K refresh rates; installers should note the cable is directional and connect ends correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable directional?
Yes. The input end must connect to the source (cable box, console, Blu-ray) and the output end to the display (TV, projector).

Will it carry Ethernet to my TV?
Yes. The cable supports HDMI with Ethernet, so it can share an Internet connection between compatible devices without a separate Ethernet cable.

Does it support 4K at high refresh rates?
It supports 4K x 2K at 24 Hz; it is not specified for higher 4K refresh rates, so it may not suit 4K 60 Hz needs.
