Extron HDMI Pro/3 (part number 26-650-03) is a 3 ft (90 cm) male-to-male HDMI cable for short, tidy links between a source and a nearby display or switcher.

Ampronix supplies this length for the jumper connections that fill an equipment rack: player to switcher, switcher to scaler, scaler to a monitor a rack unit away. Because 90 cm sits far inside the 25 ft window Extron publishes for its Premium High Speed classification, the link carries 4K at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma and needs no inline conditioning. Both ends terminate in a standard type A male plug with gold plated contacts, and the jacket is UL Listed as type CM.

Where It Is Used

A 3 ft HDMI cable is rack hardware more than room hardware. Integrators reach for it inside AV credenzas, presentation lecterns, medical imaging carts and broadcast racks, where a source, a switcher and a scaler sit within a rack unit or two of each other and excess cable would only create clutter.
