FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This certified HDMI 2.1 cable supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. It is also capable of higher resolutions, up to 10K, depending on the source and display capabilities.

Is this cable compatible with my older devices (e.g., PS4, older TVs)?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible with older HDMI specifications (like HDMI 2.0 and 1.4). However, you will only get the benefits of HDMI 2.1 if both your source device and display device support it. Otherwise, it will function at the highest standard supported by both devices.

What does 'Ultra Certified 2.1' mean?

'Ultra Certified 2.1' refers to the mandatory certification program for Ultra High Speed HDMI Cables. It ensures that the cable meets the strict performance requirements for HDMI 2.1 standards and guarantees it can deliver features like 48Gbps bandwidth, 8K video, and advanced gaming functions.

What are VRR and ALLM?

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) synchronizes the display's refresh rate with the source's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for smoother gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) automatically sets the display to its lowest latency mode when a gaming signal is detected, improving responsiveness.

What is eARC and why is it important?

eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an upgrade to ARC that allows for higher bandwidth and support for uncompressed, high-bitrate audio formats (like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X) to be sent from the TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver, improving audio quality.

How do I ensure I'm getting the best performance?

To achieve the best performance, ensure that both your source device (e.g., game console, PC) and your display device (TV, monitor) are HDMI 2.1 compatible and that HDMI 2.1 features are enabled in their respective settings. Also, make sure the cable is securely connected.

What is the physical construction of the cable?

The cable features 28AWG copper cores and has an outside diameter of 7.3mm, designed for durability and signal integrity.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Verify that both the source and display are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with another known working HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.

Flickering screen or intermittent signal

Check for loose connections. Ensure the cable is not damaged or excessively bent. Update the firmware on both your source device and display. If possible, test with a shorter or different certified HDMI 2.1 cable.

Unable to achieve 4K/120Hz or 8K resolution

Confirm that both your source device (console/PC) and display device (TV/monitor) fully support the desired resolution and refresh rate via HDMI 2.1. Check device settings to ensure the correct output is selected. Ensure the cable is certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1.

Audio issues (e.g., no sound, distorted sound) with eARC

Ensure both devices are connected to the HDMI ports labeled 'eARC' or 'ARC'. Verify that eARC is enabled in the settings of both your TV and your soundbar/AV receiver. Check the cable's connection on both ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest 8K and 4K high refresh rate standards.
  • Certified Ultra High Speed for guaranteed performance.
  • Enables advanced gaming features like VRR and ALLM.
  • High bandwidth (48Gbps) handles all modern audio-visual needs.
  • Backward compatible with previous HDMI versions.

Cons

  • Older devices may not support all HDMI 2.1 features.
  • The full benefits are only realized with compatible 8K/4K 120Hz displays and source devices.
  • Requires both connected devices to support HDMI 2.1 for full functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., game console, Blu-ray player, PC) and display device (e.g., TV, monitor) have available HDMI ports that support HDMI 2.1.
  2. Connect one end of the Kenable HDMI 2.1 cable to the output port of your source device.
  3. Connect the other end to the input port of your display device.
  4. Power on your devices. Your TV or monitor should automatically detect the signal.
  5. If required, navigate to your display's settings to enable specific HDMI 2.1 features like VRR or ALLM, and your source device's settings to output the desired resolution and refresh rate.

Compatibility:

This cable is designed to be backward compatible with older HDMI specifications (1.4, 2.0). However, to utilize the full capabilities of HDMI 2.1 (e.g., 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, VRR, eARC), both the connected source device and the display device must also support HDMI 2.1.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning if necessary.
  • Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices.
