HDMI® Voltage Inserter
Active HDMI voltage inserter that stabilizes Vbus at 5 VAC and increases current capacity to 1000mA for bus-powered accessories
The C2G CG42223 HDMI® Voltage Inserter is a critical tool for integrators managing complex HDMI ecosystems where source devices cannot meet power demands. Standard HDMI sources like computers, media players, and set-top boxes are designed to provide only a 55mA hot plug supply via the 55V bus. However, many professional accessories—including signal sensing switches, active cables with embedded chipsets, or HDMI extenders—require more current than a standard source can provide. Insufficient power often leads to HDCP authentication failures, distorted video, or EDID exchange errors. This active device stabilizes the HDMI Vbus at a consistent 5 VAC and increases the current capacity to 1000mA. By isolating power from the source device, the CG42223 ensures dependable hardware handshakes and signal integrity. This unit is fully compliant with all UltraHD and 4K performance requirements.
