Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal
Verify that both HDMI cables are securely plugged into the coupler and your devices. Ensure that both connected HDMI cables are rated for Ultra High Speed (48Gbps) and that your source and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
Flickering screen or intermittent signal loss
Check the connection points for any debris. Try swapping the HDMI cables to rule out a faulty cable. Ensure the cables are certified Ultra High Speed.
Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected
Confirm that your source device, the HDMI cables, and your display device all support the higher resolution (e.g., 8K 60Hz or 4K 120Hz). This coupler requires compatible cables and devices to pass through these advanced signals.
