Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable active or passive?

This is an active HDMI cable, meaning it has an integrated chipset to boost the signal for reliable transmission over its 10-meter length.

Can I use this cable for 1080p 120Hz content?

Yes, this HDMI 2.0 cable supports up to 18Gb/s bandwidth, allowing for higher refresh rates like 1080p 120Hz, provided both your source and display devices support it.

What does CMP plenum-rated mean?

CMP stands for Communications Multipurpose Plenum. This rating indicates the cable jacket meets strict fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces, such as those above suspended ceilings, and has low-smoke characteristics.

Does this cable support HDR10?

Yes, the cable fully supports High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR10), providing enhanced contrast and a wider color gamut for a more vibrant picture.

How do I know which way to plug in the connectors?

The cable is unidirectional. Each connector is marked with 'SOURCE' and 'DISPLAY'. Connect the 'SOURCE' end to your video source device (like a computer or media player) and the 'DISPLAY' end to your monitor or TV.

What is the data transfer rate of this cable?

This cable supports a data transfer rate of 18 Gbit/s, which is necessary for features like 4K 60Hz video with HDR.

Is this cable suitable for in-wall installation?

Yes, the CMP plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable and compliant for in-wall and plenum space installations.

Troubleshooting

No video or intermittent signal

Ensure the cable is connected in the correct direction ('SOURCE' to source, 'DISPLAY' to display). Verify both ends are securely plugged in. Test with a shorter, known-good HDMI cable to rule out other device issues. Check if the connected devices support the resolution and refresh rate being used.

Poor video quality (e.g., flickering, incorrect colors)

Confirm that the connected devices and the source content support HDR10 and the required bandwidth (18Gb/s). Ensure HDCP 2.2 is supported by all devices in the chain. Try lowering the resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists.

No audio or distorted audio

Verify that Audio Return Channel (ARC) is enabled on both the source and display devices, and that the cable is correctly oriented. Check audio settings on the source device and ensure it's outputting a compatible format (e.g., 7.1 uncompressed audio).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables high-quality 4K 60Hz video and HDR over a 10-meter distance.
  • CMP-rated jacket is suitable for professional in-wall installations.
  • Active chipset provides a stable signal without external power.
  • Durable build quality for long-term reliability.
  • Supports advanced HDMI 2.0 features like HDR10 and 18Gb/s bandwidth.

Cons

  • The cable is unidirectional and requires correct installation orientation.
  • Passive HDMI cables may be sufficient for shorter runs, making this overkill for some users.
  • CMP rating may increase cost compared to standard HDMI cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable is unidirectional. It is crucial to install it in the correct direction. Look for the embossed markings 'SOURCE' and 'DISPLAY' on the HDMI connectors. Connect the 'SOURCE' end to your video source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, computer) and the 'DISPLAY' end to your output device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).

Compatibility: The cable supports HDMI 2.0 specifications, including 4K@60Hz, HDR10, HDCP 2.2, and ARC. It is backward compatible with older HDMI versions but will only perform at the highest supported standard by both connected devices.

Care: To ensure longevity, avoid tightly bending the cable beyond 1,000 cycles at -/+60 degrees. Keep connectors clean and free from dust. For cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the connectors.
