Monoprice HDMI Cable 50 ft - High Speed 1080p@60Hz, No Logo

In this review of the Monoprice HDMI Cable 50 ft, the bottom line is simple: installers and contractors who need a reliable, unbranded cable for in-wall installs will find this cable fulfils that role. The reviewer found the cable's single biggest selling point is its installer-friendly design - a thin, flexible jacket with CL2 in-wall rating and no logo on the connectors so systems integrators can leave their own mark. For straightforward 1080p@60Hz runs where a passive, full-copper cable is needed, this cable often provides the required performance and value.

Key Features

• No logo connectors: The blank connectors let installers present the cable as part of their own system without visible branding.
• CL2 in-wall rating: Tested to the CL2 standard so the cable can be routed through walls and attic spaces in residential class buildings safely.
• Thinner conductors: The slimmer 24AWG-style conductors make the cable easier to route behind walls, through conduit, and around tight bends.
• Full copper conductors: 100% pure copper conductors maintain consistent conductivity for stable 1080p@60Hz signal delivery across the run.
• Supports ARC and Ethernet: The cable supports the HDMI Ethernet Channel and Audio Return Channel for compatible setups without additional wiring.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at professional installers, independent contractors, and integrators who want a reliable, unbranded high speed HDMI cable for permanent residential installs. It is a practical choice when you need a flexible, in-wall rated 50 ft run that supports 1080p@60Hz and common HDMI features like ARC and Ethernet.

Shoppers who need guaranteed ultra-high bandwidth for 4K@60Hz HDR, higher refresh rate gaming, or future-proof HDMI 2.1 features should look elsewhere. Home users replacing short patch cords or expecting guaranteed long-term flawless performance in every setup may prefer a higher-specified or actively boosted cable.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Some customers report mixed long-term reliability and occasional connection issues with certain displays, so results can vary by setup.

Our Verdict
