Kramer Electronics 97-0131015 Hdmi Cable Ethernet 15 Ft

Product Description

The KRAMER ELECTRONICS 97-0131015 is a flexible HDMI cable with built-in Ethernet channel, designed for connecting HDMI-enabled audio and video devices in professional AV installations. The cable supports bidirectional Ethernet data transfer alongside high-definition video and audio signals over a single connection, reducing cable runs and simplifying system wiring. At 15 feet in length, it suits a wide range of rack-to-display and source-to-switcher runs. AV integrators, systems technicians, and low-voltage installation professionals are the typical installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial AV signal processing applications where a reliable, flexible HDMI interconnect is required. Common use cases include connecting Blu-ray players, streaming devices, AV receivers, and display panels in both fixed-installation and rack-based AV systems. The flexible construction allows routing through tight spaces and around obstacles common in structured wiring and equipment rack environments. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Built-in HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) supports bidirectional network data over the cable
• 15-foot length accommodates medium-distance source-to-display runs
• Flexible construction allows easier routing in conduit, behind panels, and through tight pathways
• Single cable carries both HDMI signal and Ethernet, reducing wiring complexity
• Sold individually as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard HDMI interconnect for use with HDMI-equipped AV signal processing equipment, displays, and source devices requiring a flexible cable with Ethernet channel support.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage AV technicians and structured cabling professionals. Power down or place all connected devices in standby before connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables to avoid signal handshake issues. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as excessive bending can degrade signal integrity. Reference applicable low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer guidelines for cable management in commercial installations.
