Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 008693 HDMI cable is designed for users needing to extend an existing HDMI 2.0 cable by 2 meters, offering a key benefit of seamless 4K UHD, HDR, and high-bandwidth content transmission up to 18Gbps. While it's backward compatible with older HDMI versions (1.4/1.3), its primary advantage lies in supporting the latest video and audio standards for an enhanced viewing experience. A potential caveat is its intended use for direct TV connections, not through switches or selectors, to ensure optimal performance.

FAQs

Can this cable be used with HDMI 1.4 devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 devices. However, it will operate at the maximum capabilities of the older standard.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The cable supports up to 4K@50/60 (2160p) resolution, which is a key feature of HDMI 2.0.

Is this cable suitable for gaming?

Yes, with its 18Gbps bandwidth and support for 4K@50/60, it is suitable for gaming on compatible consoles and PCs, provided the displays also support these standards.

Can I use this to connect two HDMI cables together?

Yes, this cable is designed to extend an existing HDMI cable. Connect your source device's HDMI cable to the male end and this cable's female end, then connect this cable's male end to your display.

Will this cable work if plugged into an HDMI switch?

While it is backward compatible, this cable is designed for direct connections to TVs and may not function optimally or at full bandwidth when used with HDMI switches or selectors.

What does 'HDR' mean for this cable?

HDR (High Dynamic Range) support means the cable can transmit video that offers a greater range of brightness and contrast, resulting in more realistic and vibrant images on compatible HDR displays.

How do I clean the connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is completely dry before reconnecting.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent signal

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify that the existing HDMI cable is functioning correctly. Try connecting the source device directly to the TV without the extension to confirm cable functionality. Ensure the TV and source device are set to 4K resolution and HDR if applicable.

Poor video or audio quality (e.g., pixelation, dropouts)

Check that the connected devices support HDMI 2.0 and the resolution/bandwidth being transmitted. Ensure the cable is not being used through HDMI switches or selectors, as this is not its intended use. Verify the source device's output settings match the capabilities of the cable and display.

Device not recognized

Power cycle both the source device and the display. Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable firmly at both ends. Test with a different, shorter HDMI cable to rule out issues with the original cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest HDMI 2.0b standard for high-quality video and audio.
  • Offers a convenient 2-meter extension for existing HDMI setups.
  • High bandwidth (18Gbps) supports 4K UHD and HDR content.
  • Backward compatible with older HDMI versions (1.4/1.3).
  • Features gold-plated connectors for improved signal integrity.
  • Enhanced audio capabilities for a more immersive experience.

Cons

  • Designed for direct TV connections; may not perform optimally through switches or selectors.

  • The 2m length might be too short or too long for some specific installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plug-and-play device. Connect the male HDMI Type A connector to your source device (e.g., streaming box, Blu-ray player, gaming console) and the female HDMI Type A connector to your existing HDMI cable. Ensure both ends are securely seated. This cable is designed to extend an existing HDMI cable, not as a standalone connection from source to display.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with HDMI 2.0b specifications, supporting 4K@50/60 (2160p) and 18Gbps bandwidth. It is also backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 standards, though it will operate at the lower specifications of those standards.

Care: Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
