Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 008038 HDMI cable is designed for users needing reliable, high-resolution video and audio transmission, particularly for home theater setups or installations requiring discrete cable routing. Its key benefit is the support for 4K resolutions and 3D signals with a durable, low-profile flat braided cable, ideal for tight spaces. A potential caveat is the 30Hz maximum refresh rate at 4K, which may not suit high-refresh-rate gaming needs.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This HDMI 1.4 cable supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (3840x2160p) at a maximum refresh rate of 30Hz, and 4096x2160p at 24Hz.

Can this cable be used for high-refresh-rate gaming?

At 4K resolution, the maximum refresh rate is 30Hz. For gaming requiring higher refresh rates (e.g., 60Hz, 120Hz), this cable may not be suitable at 4K. It will perform better at lower resolutions like 1080p, where higher refresh rates are possible.

How does the low-profile flat cable help?

The low-profile flat design (1.2cm width) makes it ideal for installations where space is limited or where the cable needs to be hidden discreetly, such as under carpets, behind wall panels, or flush against baseboards.

Is this cable compatible with older HDMI devices?

Yes, the cable is fully backwards compatible with all previous HDMI versions (1.0 through 1.3).

What does 'Braided' mean for the cable?

The cable is covered with a braided material (likely nylon or similar) which adds an extra layer of durability, protecting the inner wires from damage and increasing the cable's lifespan compared to standard plastic-sheathed cables.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the connectors are gold-plated, which helps to ensure a clean and reliable connection by resisting corrosion and oxidation.

What is the length of this cable?

This specific model is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on the source and display devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with another known-working HDMI cable to rule out cable failure. Confirm the source device is powered on and outputting a signal.

Flickering or intermittent video/audio

Check for loose connections. Inspect the cable for any visible damage to the braiding or connectors. Ensure the cable is not bent too sharply. If connecting 4K devices, verify that the maximum refresh rate supported by the cable (30Hz) meets your display's requirements. Try a shorter or different cable if this persists.

Incorrect resolution or picture quality issues

Verify that the HDMI version (1.4) and supported resolutions (up to 4K @ 30Hz) are compatible with your source and display devices. Adjust the resolution settings in your source device's menu. Ensure deep color or HDR settings on your display are compatible with the signal being sent.

3D not working

Confirm that both your source device and display device support 3D playback and that the HDMI 1.4 standard is utilized. Ensure 3D settings are enabled on both devices and that the playback content is actually in 3D format.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports 4K resolutions for sharp image quality.
  • Low-profile flat design is excellent for discreet installations.
  • Braided cable offers enhanced durability.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a stable connection.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

This cable is plug-and-play. Simply connect one HDMI Type A (Standard) male connector to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer) and the other connector to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).

Compatibility

  • HDMI Version: Fully compliant with HDMI 1.4 specifications, ensuring compatibility with devices supporting 4K resolutions (up to 30Hz), 3D signals, and standard HD resolutions.

  • Connector Type: Features standard HDMI Type A (male) connectors on both ends.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with all operating systems that support HDMI output.

Care

  • Avoid sharply bending or creasing the flat cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust; use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends to maintain optimal signal quality.
