Vanco 280328X Hdmi Female to Female Coupler Adapter

Product Description

The VANCO 280328X is an HDMI female-to-female coupler adapter finished in black. It joins two HDMI cables end-to-end, extending a run or connecting two HDMI-equipped devices where a single continuous cable is not practical. The adapter passes the HDMI signal between the two connected cables without active amplification. AV installers, low-voltage technicians, and systems integrators use this type of passive coupler during rough-in, finish trim, or equipment rack work whenever an HDMI extension or in-line connection is required.

This coupler is suited for residential and light commercial AV installations. Typical applications include wall-plate pass-through setups, equipment rack builds, and behind-display cable management where two separate HDMI cable runs need to be joined. It is sold as a single unit and installs in seconds without tools.

Key Features

• Female-to-female HDMI interface joins two standard HDMI cables in line
• Passive design requires no external power
• Black finish suits standard AV rack and wall-plate environments
• Compact form factor fits tight cable management spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard female-to-female HDMI coupler compatible with full-size HDMI Type A connectors. Consult system requirements to confirm signal integrity over the total extended cable length.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage AV technicians and electricians working under NEC Article 725 or 800 typically install passive HDMI couplers as part of structured cabling or AV system work. Power down or place source and display equipment in standby before connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables to avoid hot-plug faults. Ensure the combined length of both joined cables does not exceed the passive HDMI transmission distance supported by the source and display devices. No crimping, soldering, or special tooling is required for installation.
