C2G 40970 HDMI F/f Coupler

Overview

The C2G 40970 is a passive female-to-female HDMI coupler designed to join two HDMI cables, effectively extending the reach of your video signal. This is critical for installations where a single HDMI cable cannot span the required distance between a source device (like a media player or PC) and a display (monitor or projector). It's built for straightforward integration into existing AV setups, ensuring signal continuity without requiring external power or complex configuration. Use this coupler when you need to connect two existing HDMI cables to achieve a longer total length for your video distribution needs.

Compatibility

This coupler supports the HDMI standard and is compatible with any male-to-male HDMI cables that adhere to the standard. It is suitable for use with various HDMI sources and displays, including computers, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and televisions. It functions with HDMI 1.4, 2.0, and 2.1 cables, provided both connected cables support the desired video resolution and bandwidth. For resolutions beyond 1080p (e.g., 4K), ensure both connected cables are certified for the required bandwidth (e.g., High Speed or Ultra High Speed).

Installation Notes

Connect a male HDMI cable into each port of the C2G 40970 coupler. Ensure a secure connection by gently pushing each cable until it is fully seated. For optimal signal integrity, especially over longer combined cable lengths or at higher resolutions, it is recommended to use high-quality HDMI cables that meet the appropriate speed rating (e.g., High Speed with Ethernet for 1080p/4K@30Hz, or Ultra High Speed for 4K@120Hz/8K). Avoid excessive bending or stress on the connected cables at the coupler points.
