STARTECH 30ft Active HDMI 2.0 Cable 4K 60Hz

SKU CH-YK86-VVD1H

Active 30 ft cable delivers 4K 60 Hz video with HDR10, 1440p 144 Hz and 1080p 240 Hz support, ARC audio return and HDCP 2.2

  • 4K 60Hz video over 30ft with active chipset
  • 1440p 144Hz and 1080p 240Hz high refresh rates supported
  • HDR10 delivers higher contrast and vibrant colours
  • HDCP 2.2 secures the connection between source and display
  • ARC returns audio from TV to AV receiver or soundbar

Built for long runs

This 30ft active HDMI 2.0 cable uses an integrated chipset to maintain 4K 60Hz signal integrity over distances where passive cables fail. Gold-plated connectors and 24AWG bare copper conductors preserve conductivity without external power. It supports HDR10, HDCP 2.2, ARC, 32 uncompressed audio channels and HDMI Ethernet Channel. The design targets installations that need reliable UHD transmission beyond standard passive limits.

Installers needing distance over bandwidth

Home-theatre owners, digital-signage integrators and AV professionals who must route 4K 60Hz sources to displays 30 feet away will find the active boost reliable. Buyers who need 4K at higher refresh rates or 8K resolution should look elsewhere because the HDMI 2.0 interface caps at 60Hz. The cable also does not suit setups requiring powered extenders or fibre-optic runs for even longer spans.

HDMI 2.0 active chipset defines the ceiling

The integrated active chipset enables 4K 60Hz, 1440p 144Hz and 1080p 240Hz over the full 30ft length while supporting 21:9 aspect ratio, HDR10 and HDCP 2.2. This single component determines every resolution, refresh-rate and feature limit the cable can deliver.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 AWG active cable fit through a standard conduit or wall plate?

The 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated connectors keep the cable slim enough for typical conduit runs, and the integrated chipset needs no external power block that would widen the profile.

Which end of the 30 ft active cable connects to the source and which to the display for correct signal direction?

The cable is directional; plug the end marked Source into the 4K 60 Hz output device and the end marked Display into the screen to activate the internal chipset.

Does the gold-plated connector or active chipset need periodic cleaning or replacement to keep 4K 60 Hz performance?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the gold plating resists oxidation and the chipset is sealed inside the connector housing for the life of the cable.
