Overview

The Monoprice 4330114111 is a 6-foot HDMI 1.3a Category 2 cable built specifically for permanent in-wall installations. The CL2 fire-resistance rating is the defining specification here — it certifies the cable jacket meets UL smoke and flame standards required by most residential electrical codes for running cable inside walls. The 24AWG conductors with triple-layer shielding address the practical reality of in-wall routing: proximity to AC wiring creates EMI exposure that unshielded or lightly-shielded cables handle poorly. The gold-plated connectors complete the construction with corrosion-resistant terminations that maintain signal integrity over years of contact without the cleaning maintenance bare-copper connectors eventually require. Bandwidth is rated at 10.2 Gbps under the HDMI 1.3a Category 2 spec, supporting 1080p at up to 120Hz and standard 1440p signals.

This cable is the right tool for home theater integrators and AV installers routing HDMI between wall plates, behind displays mounted on drywall, or through conduit in media room builds. At 6 feet it handles the common wall-plate-to-device span without excess slack. The flat profile is a genuine routing advantage in shallow wall cavities and along door or window trim. Where it has a ceiling is in future-proofed 4K workflows: HDMI 1.3a does not support the 18 Gbps bandwidth required for 4K@60Hz, HDR, or wide color gamut signals. For existing 1080p home theater setups or secondary display runs, the bandwidth envelope is never a constraint — but anyone building a new 4K HDR system should specify an HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable from the start.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Triple-layer shielding suppresses EMI interference in walls where cable runs may be near electrical wiring
  • CL2 in-wall fire rating meets residential building code requirements for permanent installations without requiring conduit
  • Gold-plated connectors provide corrosion-resistant, low-resistance contact for long-term signal reliability
  • Flat cable profile routes cleanly along baseboards and door frames without creating visible bulges
  • HDMI 1.3a Category 2 supports full 10.2 Gbps bandwidth for 1080p and most 1440p use cases

👎 Cons

  • HDMI 1.3a tops out at 10.2 Gbps, making it incompatible with 4K@60Hz, HDR10, or Dolby Vision content pipelines
  • 24AWG conductor gauge limits reliable runs to shorter distances; 6-foot length is the only option in this configuration
  • Flat cable construction makes it less flexible in tight-radius bends, which can stress the jacket in complex routing paths
  • No locking connector mechanism, which can be a limitation in in-wall installations where disconnection is hard to diagnose

Frequently Asked Questions

This is HDMI 1.3a Category 2, which supports up to 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. That covers 1080p at 120Hz, 1440p, and even 4K at 30Hz — but it predates HDMI 2.0's 18 Gbps spec, so it is not suited for 4K@60Hz or HDR.
CL2 (Class 2) is a UL fire-resistance rating for in-wall cable installations. It means the cable jacket meets the smoke and flame spread requirements for running inside walls, ceilings, or conduit — a requirement in most residential building codes for permanent installations.
No measurable difference at 6 feet. The flat profile uses the same 24AWG conductors and triple-layer shielding as round variants. The flat form factor is a routing convenience for tight spaces along baseboards or door frames — it does not change the electrical characteristics.
Gold plating on the HDMI connectors provides corrosion resistance, which maintains low contact resistance at the connector interface over time. At signal frequencies this cable operates at, connector oxidation is a real degradation path, so gold plating is a functional choice, not just aesthetic.
Yes. HDMI 1.3a carries up to 8-channel uncompressed LPCM audio, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio alongside the video signal on the same cable — including formats used in Blu-ray home theater setups.
