C2G HDMI Cable 4K High Speed with Ethernet, 23 ft - In-Wall CL2

In this review the C2G HDMI Cable 4K High Speed with Ethernet is examined for home theater and commercial install use. The bottom line: this 23 ft, CL2-rated cable is best for anyone who needs a reliable in-wall run that supports 4K UHD video and Ethernet-enabled HDMI features without the fuss of converters or repeated replacements. The reviewer found the cable well built, with solid connectors and shielded construction that preserves video and audio clarity for longer runs and fixed installations.

Key Features

• 4K Ultra HD support: Delivers 2160p at 50/60Hz for sharper, more detailed video compared with 1080p sources.
• Ethernet-enabled HDMI: Lets Ethernet-capable HDMI devices share a single network link through the cable for firmware updates and interactive content.
• CL2 in-wall jacket: The fire resistant CMG-rated jacket meets common in-wall requirements for residential and light commercial installations.
• Gold-plated connectors: Corrosion-resistant contacts help maintain a stable audio/video connection and reduce signal loss over time.
• Foil and braid shielding: Double shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, helping keep picture and sound free from noise.
• High-speed audio support: Handles Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and up to 32 channels for high-fidelity multichannel setups.

Who It's For

The C2G 23 ft HDMI cable is aimed at homeowners wiring a dedicated media room, AV professionals installing displays in classrooms or conference rooms, and anyone needing an in-wall rated solution for a fixed HDMI run. Its combination of CL2 jacket and Ethernet capability makes it a practical choice where building codes and networked HDMI devices intersect.

Less suitable are users who need ultra-long runs beyond 23 ft without active signal boosting, or those who require the absolute newest HDMI features beyond 4K/60 (such as specialized gaming features tied to later HDMI revisions). For most standard 4K AV installs this cable provides the required features and durability.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• In-wall CL2 jacket meets common safety requirements for hidden installations.
• Supports 4K 60Hz and modern audio codecs for a complete home theater experience.
• Double shielding and gold-plated connectors preserve signal integrity and resist corrosion.

Cons

• Fixed passive cable length of 23 ft may require an active extender for much longer runs.
• Not explicitly described as supporting the very latest HDMI features beyond 4K/60, so high-end gaming features may be limited.
