FAQs

What does 'Ultra High Speed HDMI Certification' mean?

It guarantees that the cable has been tested and certified to meet the demanding performance requirements of HDMI 2.1, including 48Gbps bandwidth and support for all its features.

Can I use this cable with my older 4K TV?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible. However, you will only be able to use the features supported by your TV, typically up to 4K resolution at 60Hz (HDMI 2.0 standards).

Do I need two of these cables for VRR to work?

No, you only need one certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable. However, both your source device (e.g., gaming console, PC) and your display (TV/monitor) must also support VRR.

What is the difference between ARC and eARC?

eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) supports higher bandwidth audio formats like uncompressed Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, whereas standard ARC is limited to compressed or lower-bitrate audio.

Will this cable improve my internet speed?

No, this is a video and audio signal cable. It does not handle internet data transmission and will not affect your internet speed.

How do I know if my devices are HDMI 2.1 compatible?

Check the specifications or manual for your devices. Look for explicit mentions of 'HDMI 2.1', '4K@120Hz', '8K', 'VRR', 'ALLM', or 'eARC' support.

Is the 5-meter length suitable for all setups?

The 5-meter length is beneficial for longer runs, like connecting a device across a room. For shorter distances, a shorter cable might be preferred to reduce excess cable management.

Troubleshooting

No picture or intermittent signal

Ensure the cable is fully seated in both HDMI ports. Verify that both your source device and display support HDMI 2.1 for higher resolutions/refresh rates. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with a shorter, known-working HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.

Audio dropouts or no audio via eARC

Confirm that eARC is enabled on both your TV and your soundbar/receiver. Ensure the cable is connected to the designated eARC HDMI ports. Check that your audio devices are compatible with the audio formats being transmitted.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected

Verify that your source device's output settings are configured correctly. Ensure your display is set to accept the desired resolution and refresh rate. Check the cable's specifications and ensure it is indeed an Ultra High Speed certified cable.

Gaming performance issues (stuttering, tearing)

Ensure VRR and ALLM are enabled on your console/PC and TV settings. Check that the game itself supports these features. Update firmware on your console, PC, and TV.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest video and audio standards for future-proofing.
  • High bandwidth capacity handles demanding 8K and high-refresh 4K content.
  • Advanced gaming features like VRR and ALLM enhance gameplay.
  • eARC provides superior audio return for home theater setups.
  • Certified Ultra High Speed for guaranteed performance.
  • Durable construction designed for reliability.

Cons

  • Requires HDMI 2.1 compatible source devices and displays to achieve full benefits.
  • Higher price point compared to older HDMI standards.
  • 5-meter length may be too long for some shorter setups.
  • Can be overkill for users with only 1080p or basic 4K displays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply connect the cable between your HDMI 2.1 source device (e.g., gaming console, Blu-ray player, PC) and your HDMI 2.1 compatible display (e.g., 4K/8K TV, monitor). Ensure the connections are secure on both ends.

Compatibility: This cable is backward compatible with older HDMI specifications (1.4, 2.0). However, to utilize features like 8K, 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, or eARC, *both* the source device and the display must support HDMI 2.1.

Care: Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, as this can damage the internal wiring. When unplugging, grip the connector head, not the cable itself.
