MX 3579 Active HDMI 2.0 Cable 10 Metre with Built-In Integrated Circuit

MX 3579 HDMI Cable 10 Metre Active

The MX 3579 HDMI Cable is a 10-metre HDMI 2.0 male-to-male cable with a built-in integrated circuit, an active cable made for long runs where a passive cable can lose signal. The built-in circuit boosts and equalises the signal along the run, so a projector, TV or monitor 10 metres from the source still receives a stable picture, including 2160p and 4K resolutions, 3D content and high refresh rates up to 120 Hz.

Long HDMI runs are a classic source of flicker, sparkles and dropouts, because the high-speed signal weakens over distance. The MX 3579 HDMI Cable addresses that directly: the active electronics inside the cable maintain signal integrity across the full 10 metres, and the braided cable with gold-plated plugs stands up to repeated handling in classrooms, halls and home theatres.

Why Choose MX 3579 HDMI Cable 10 Metre Active?

The MX 3579 HDMI Cable suits any setup where the source and the screen are far apart: a projector mounted at the back of a hall, a TV wall-mounted away from the set-top box and console, or a conference-room display fed from a table connection point. A passive cable of this length is a gamble; an active cable is the engineered answer.

Because the cable is active, it is directional in the sense that the electronics are built for the run as designed, so install it as supplied and avoid joining it to extension cables, which would defeat the signal conditioning. For shorter runs, a standard passive MX HDMI cable is enough; the active design earns its place at 10 metres.

Key Features

• Active cable with built-in integrated circuit: onboard electronics boost and equalise the signal across the full 10-metre run.
• HDMI 2.0 male to male: fits standard HDMI ports on sources and displays, with no adaptor needed.
• 2160p and 4K support: carries ultra-high-definition video, including 1440p and 4K content.
• Up to 120 Hz refresh: supports high refresh rates for smooth motion in video and gaming.
• 3D and Deep Colour: carries 3D content and Deep Colour video for a richer picture.
• 10-metre length: reaches distant displays in one run, with no extender in the chain.

Best Suited For

The MX 3579 HDMI Cable suits home theatres, classrooms, conference rooms, auditoriums and digital-signage installs where a display sits up to 10 metres from its source. It suits projectors, large TVs, monitors and AV receivers with HDMI outputs.

Check that both source and display have standard HDMI ports, and confirm the 10-metre length covers the route with slack for neat dressing. This cable is for HDMI-to-HDMI runs; for DisplayPort or VGA sources, use the matching converter or cable type.

Setup and Connection Guide

1. Connect one end of the MX 3579 HDMI Cable to the HDMI output of the source and the other to the HDMI input of the display, pushing each plug fully home. Select the correct HDMI input on the display, then set the source resolution to match the display, starting at 1080p if the picture is unstable and stepping up to 4K once the link is confirmed.
2. Route the cable without sharp bends or tight cable ties, and do not join it to extension cables or wall plates with long internal runs, which can undo the active signal conditioning. If the picture flickers, reseat both ends first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an active cable over a passive one at 10 metres?

Passive HDMI cables lose signal strength over distance, and 10 metres is beyond the comfortable range for reliable 4K. The built-in circuit in this cable restores the signal, so the picture stays stable.

Will it work with my older 1080p TV?

Yes. The cable is backwards compatible in practice: it carries 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and the source and display negotiate the best common resolution.

Does the cable need separate power?

No separate power supply is listed for this cable; it draws what it needs through the HDMI connection as designed by the manufacturer. If a source provides a very weak HDMI output, try another port on the source.
