FAQs

Is this cable active or passive?

This is an active HDMI cable. It contains signal-boosting electronics to maintain signal integrity over longer distances.

Does this cable support 4K resolution?

Yes, it supports resolutions up to 4K (4096 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Is the cable directional?

Yes, the cable is directional. It must be connected with the 'Source' connector to the video source device and the 'Display' connector to the display device. The connectors are clearly labeled.

What is the maximum data transfer rate?

The cable supports a data transfer rate of 18 Gbit/s, which is suitable for HDMI 2.0 features including 4K @ 60Hz and HDR.

Can I use this cable for in-wall installations?

Yes, this cable is rated for in-wall use (CMG/FT4) and is designed to be flexible for easier installation in tight spaces.

What audio formats are supported?

It supports high-definition audio formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD.

What is the length of this specific cable?

This particular cable is 25 feet (7.6 meters) long.

Does the cable support HDCP?

As a High-Speed HDMI cable, it is designed to be compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) requirements for protected content.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Verify the cable is connected correctly with the 'Source' end to the source device and the 'Display' end to the display. Ensure both devices are powered on and set to the correct input. Try a different HDMI port on your display or source device. Test with a shorter, known-working HDMI cable to rule out issues with the source or display.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen

Check that the cable connectors are fully inserted into the ports. Ensure the cable is not damaged or excessively kinked. If the cable is routed through a wall or conduit, ensure it is not being pinched or stressed. Verify the source and display devices support the resolution and refresh rate being used.

Resolution or refresh rate limitations (e.g., stuck at 1080p)

Confirm that both your source device and display support 4K @ 60Hz. Check the display settings on your source device to ensure the desired resolution and refresh rate are selected. Ensure the cable is connected in the correct direction (Source to Display).

Audio dropouts or distortion

Ensure that the audio format being transmitted (e.g., Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio) is supported by both the source device and the display. Check the audio settings on your source device and verify the cable's connection is secure at both ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable signal transmission over longer distances due to active amplification.
  • Suitable for installations in confined or complex spaces due to its ultra-flexible design.
  • Supports high-resolution 4K video at 60Hz for superior visual quality.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors for optimal performance and longevity.
  • Secure connection with enhanced port retention prevents accidental cable disconnection.

Cons

  • The cable is directional, requiring careful attention to connect the source and display ends correctly.
  • Active cables can sometimes introduce slight latency, though typically negligible for most consumer and commercial uses.
  • May be more expensive than standard passive HDMI cables due to active components.
  • Limited to 18 Gbit/s, which might not support future ultra-high bandwidth standards beyond HDMI 2.0 capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 'Source' and 'Display' ends of the cable. The 'Source' end connects to your video source device (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player), and the 'Display' end connects to your monitor, projector, or TV.
  2. Ensure both the source device and the display support HDMI and the desired resolution (4K @ 60Hz).
  3. Connect the 'Source' end firmly to the HDMI output port on your source device.
  4. Connect the 'Display' end firmly to the HDMI input port on your display device.
  5. Power on your devices. The active nature of the cable means it automatically adjusts to signal requirements.

Compatibility:

  • HDMI Standards: Compliant with HDMI High Speed specifications, supporting resolutions up to 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60Hz.
  • 3D Support: Yes
  • HDR Support: Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)

  • Color: Black cable with gold-plated connectors.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep connectors clean. If dust accumulates, gently clean with a dry, lint-free cloth or a can of compressed air.
  • Store the cable away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, and storage range is -10°C to 55°C.
  • Ensure the cable is securely seated in ports to maintain optimal signal integrity.
