944E-20

The SCP 944E-20 is a 6 m (20 ft) passive HDMI cable from the 944E Custom Install Series, aimed at integrators who wire displays, media players and AV receivers in permanent installations. It suits meeting rooms, digital signage, hospitality and home-theatre projects where a reliable 4K link is needed and the cable may be routed inside walls or ceilings. Its main value to the end user is a stable, full-bandwidth picture from source to display, backed by a connector design intended to stay seated after repeated handling. Packaged as a single cable in a poly bag with an anti-counterfeiting label.

Snug-Tite Connector Grip Keeps Signal Stable

SCP's Snug-Tite grip is a retention feature in the plug housing, meant to keep the connector seated when the cable is tugged, bumped or plugged and unplugged repeatedly. Loose HDMI connections are a common cause of flickering, dropouts and 'no signal' call-outs, and this grip targets that failure mode directly. The manufacturer cites 12 lb of retained grip force after many connect and disconnect cycles, and presents the grip as an alternative to bulky screw locks or clips that take up space on crowded multi-port devices. For the end user, a media player behind a display, a source on a mobile cart or a device in a tight rack is less likely to lose its picture when someone brushes against the cable.

Full 4K@60 4:4:4 Bandwidth for Sharp Graphics

The cable is specified for 4K at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling at 18 Gbps, with HDR and BT.2020 colorimetry supported, plus 3D and HDCP 2.2. Full chroma sampling matters for text-heavy signage, spreadsheets and fine graphics, where reduced chroma sampling softens edges and small type. Because the cable carries the full 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 data rate, the source and display can run at their native 4K60 settings rather than falling back to lower-bandwidth modes. For the viewer, the picture on a 4K panel is shown at full resolution and colour detail. Note that the packaging text reads 4K@50/60 while the datasheet specifies 4K@60 4:4:4.

UL CL2 Rating for In-Wall Installation

The cable carries a UL CL2 in-wall rating with a PVC jacket and is also listed UL and c(UL). Building codes restrict which cable jackets may be concealed in walls, so a rated cable lets an installer run the link through partitions, ceilings and cable channels without swapping to a separate product. The datasheet's flame test lists CL2 and FT4, while its drawing lists CL3 for the conductor, so confirm the required rating against the project specification before concealing the run. For the end user, a concealed cable means a tidy, permanent installation with fewer exposed leads that can be damaged or disconnected.

Premium Certified With Verifiable Authenticity Label

The cable has been tested under HDMI's Premium High Speed with Ethernet certification programme and carries an anti-counterfeiting label whose QR code can be checked with the free HDMI Premium Cable app. Counterfeit HDMI cables that fail to carry 18 Gbps are a real risk, and the label gives an installer a quick on-site way to confirm that the product is genuine. The manufacturer also describes the cable as triple-shielded for EMI protection. For the end user, the 4K experience they are paying for is less likely to be undermined by a non-compliant cable that drops out or shows artefacts.
