C2G 42236

Overview

The C2G 42236 is a USB powered HDMI voltage inserter designed to enhance the stability and reliability of HDMI connections, especially when using bus-powered devices. It delivers a steady 5-volt output with up to 500mA of current, ensuring that accessories like extenders, active cables with embedded chipsets, or signal sensing switches receive sufficient power. Supporting UltraHD and 4K resolutions, this device helps prevent common issues such as flashing images, distorted video, or signal loss in high-definition setups.

By isolating the power supply from the HDMI source, the inserter maintains consistent signal quality over longer cable runs or complex AV configurations. It is well suited for home theaters, professional AV installations, and digital signage systems where maintaining HDMI signal integrity is critical.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
