Cable Matters Active 8K HDMI 2.1 Repeater Coupler (Female to Female), Wall-Mount HDMI Signal Booster, 8K@60Hz 4K@240Hz HDR Earc, for PS5 Xbox Series X|S Apple TV
- Active HDMI Repeater Coupler for Longer Runs: Join two HDMI cables with an active HDMI 2.1 coupler (female to female). This HDMI extender/signal booster is ideal for home theatre, gaming setups and projector installs. Use certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cables; not designed to fix faulty or low-quality cables.
- High-Performance HDMI Signal Booster: Supports 8K@60Hz, 4K@240Hz and 4K@120Hz up to 9 m, extends up to 15 m for 4K@60Hz, and up to 23 m for 1080p (total run, with quality cables). Great for next-gen consoles and HDMI 2.1 PCs when you need longer HDMI cable runs.
- Full HDMI 2.1 Feature Support: Passes HDR, eARC, CEC and HDCP 2.3 for smooth compatibility with TVs, monitors and AV receivers. Backward compatible for 4K/1440p/1080p and 3D pass-through (device dependent) for flexible AV and gaming use.
- Durable Aluminium Housing, Wall-Mount Ready: Compact aluminium enclosure resists wear and improves heat dissipation. Clearly labelled INPUT/OUTPUT ports enable simple plug-and-play setup. Includes screws for secure wall mounting behind TVs, in cabinets, or AV racks.
- Important Setup Notes (Direction + Cable Limits): Connect INPUT to your source/PC and OUTPUT to your TV/monitor/AVR/projector. This HDMI booster amplifies signal strength but can’t fix existing ARC/eARC issues or faulty HDMI cables. For 8K@60Hz / 4K@240Hz, keep each side within 4 m (HDMI IN) and 5 m (HDMI OUT). Optional USB-C power 5V/1A can stabilise flicker/black screens (cable/adapter not included).
Product Description
-
Is this the same as a passive HDMI coupler?
No. This is an active HDMI repeater that amplifies the signal electronically, unlike passive couplers that simply connect cables without boosting the signal.
-
Does it require external power?
External power is not typically required. For devices with weaker HDMI output, a 5V/1A USB-C power connection is recommended for optimal stability. Note: USB-C power cable and power adapter are NOT included.
-
Why do I get flicker, black screen, or no signal?
Use high-quality HDMI 2.1 cables on both sides. Check orientation (Input → Output), remove adapters/KVMs, and try adding USB-C power. Update your device’s firmware and GPU drivers.
-
Why am I not getting 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, or HDR?
Ensure your source supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, your display supports the target mode, and use certified HDMI 2.1 cables. For best results, keep total cable length ≤ 30ft for 8K or ≤ 50ft for 4K.
-
Can it be wall-mounted?
Yes. The coupler includes mounting screws and features a durable aluminum housing for secure installation in home theaters or AV setups.
