Monoprice HDMI Cable 30ft Black CL2 Commercial Series

The Monoprice Commercial Series CL2 HDMI Cable is an infrastructure-grade passive HDMI cable rated for permanent in-wall installation at 30 feet. Its defining specification is the CL2 rating — a UL certification confirming the cable jacket meets fire resistance standards required by the National Electrical Code for in-wall routing in residential buildings. Without this rating, running an HDMI cable inside walls is a code violation in most jurisdictions, regardless of signal performance. The cable operates at the High Speed HDMI standard: 10.2Gbps bandwidth, supporting 1080p at 60Hz, 1080p 3D, and HDMI feature sets including Audio Return Channel and HDMI Ethernet Channel. At 24AWG, it uses thinner conductors than many passive alternatives, which translates directly to improved flexibility — a practical advantage when threading cable through wall cavities, tight conduit bends, or finished ceiling spaces.

This cable is built specifically for AV installers, contractors, and systems integrators deploying 1080p commercial or residential installations. The no-logo jacket is a deliberate professional courtesy — Monoprice's branding doesn't appear anywhere on the cable, allowing integrators to present their work under their own name. At 30 feet, signal integrity at 1080p is reliable with a well-terminated cable, and the lifetime warranty provides long-term cover for permanent installations where wall-fishing a replacement is billable labor. The critical compatibility note is bandwidth: this cable tops out at High Speed (10.2Gbps), which means it is not specified for 4K UHD, HDR10, or Dolby Vision content. Any installation expected to serve 4K sources — now or in a planned upgrade — should be wired with Premium High Speed (18Gbps) or Ultra High Speed (48Gbps) cable from the start.
