FAQs
What HDMI version does this cable support?
This cable is certified for High Speed HDMI, which corresponds to HDMI 1.4 specifications. It supports features like 1080p resolution, 3D over HDMI, and Deep Colour.
Can I use this cable for 4K video?
While this cable supports resolutions up to 1080p and higher, it is rated for HDMI 1.4, which may not reliably support all 4K resolutions and refresh rates (especially 4K at 60Hz). For guaranteed 4K performance, a cable certified for HDMI 2.0 or higher is recommended.
What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?
Gold plating provides excellent conductivity for optimal signal transfer and offers superior resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, ensuring a durable and reliable connection over time.
Does this cable support Audio Return Channel (ARC)?
No, this cable is based on HDMI 1.4 specifications and does not explicitly support the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature, which was introduced in HDMI 1.4 but is more reliably implemented in later standards.
How does the shielding protect the signal?
The shielded cable construction helps to block external radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the data signal, ensuring a cleaner and more stable audio and video transmission.
Is this cable suitable for professional AV installations?
For professional installations requiring the absolute latest features or ultra-high resolutions at high refresh rates, newer HDMI standards (2.0, 2.1) might be necessary. However, for standard HD (1080p) setups, it offers reliable performance.
What is the difference between this black cable and the blue or gold variants?
The primary difference between variants of the same cable model (like black, blue, or gold) is typically the colour. Functionally, they are designed to offer the same performance and specifications, assuming they are from the same product line and series.
Troubleshooting
No picture or sound
Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected to the source and display devices. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the display. Test with another HDMI cable and different ports to rule out cable or port issues.
Intermittent signal or flickering screen
Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or under tension. Try a different HDMI port on your devices. Clean the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Lower resolution than expected
Confirm that both the source device and the display are set to output/support the desired resolution (e.g., 1080p). Ensure the HDMI cable meets the required specifications for the resolution (this cable is High Speed rated).
Audio issues (no sound or distorted sound)
Verify that audio output is enabled and correctly configured on the source device. Check the audio settings on the display device. Test with a different HDMI cable to confirm if the issue lies with the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, laptop) and the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector). Ensure both ends are securely plugged in. The cable is plug-and-play; no software installation is required.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices featuring an HDMI Type A port. It supports HDMI 1.4 specifications, including resolutions up to 1080p, 3D video, and multi-channel audio. It is backward compatible with earlier HDMI versions.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable and its connectors clean. Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors. Store the cable in a dry place when not in use. To clean the connectors, use a dry, lint-free cloth. For the cable itself, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring it is completely dry before reconnecting.
