Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing to extend an existing HDMI connection, offering a simple solution to bridge the gap between devices. The primary benefit is the convenience of extending your reach without replacing a perfectly good, but short, HDMI cable. A potential caveat is that this cable supports HDMI 1.4, so it may not support the latest 4K resolutions or higher refresh rates found in newer HDMI standards. The Kenable 007887 is a standard HDMI extension cable designed to connect to an existing male HDMI plug, featuring a flat black design for easy routing and concealment. Key features include its 2-meter length, HDMI 1.4 High Speed support, and gold-plated connectors for reliable signal transmission.

FAQs

What HDMI version does this cable support?

This cable supports the HDMI 1.4 High Speed standard.

Can this cable support 4K resolution?

Yes, it can support 4K resolution, but typically at a lower refresh rate (e.g., 4K at 30Hz) due to the HDMI 1.4 specification. For higher refresh rates like 4K at 120Hz, you would need a newer HDMI standard (e.g., HDMI 2.1).

What is the length of this cable?

The cable length is 2 meters.

Is this cable directional?

No, standard HDMI extension cables like this are not directional. The male end connects to the source or existing cable, and the female end connects to the display or existing cable.

Will this extension work with my older HDMI devices?

Yes, HDMI is backward compatible. The connection will work, but its performance will be limited by the lowest HDMI version supported by any device in the chain.

How do I clean the connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials.

What does 'flat' cable design mean for installation?

A flat cable is easier to hide and route along walls, under carpets, or behind furniture, reducing cable clutter compared to round cables. However, avoid sharp bends.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure all connections are secure at both ends. Check that the correct HDMI input is selected on your display. Try connecting directly without the extension to verify the source and display are working. Ensure the extension cable is not damaged.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen

Verify that the HDMI source, extension, and display all support the same video mode. Check for physical damage to the connectors or cable. Ensure there are no strong sources of electromagnetic interference nearby.

Lower resolution than expected

Confirm that the HDMI 1.4 standard is sufficient for your desired resolution and refresh rate. Check your source device's video output settings and your display's input capabilities.

Cable does not fit properly

Ensure you are using the correct HDMI Type A ports. Check for any obstructions in the ports. Inspect the cable connectors for damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends existing HDMI connections easily.
  • Flat design aids in tidy cable management.
  • Gold-plated connectors offer good signal quality.
  • Protects HDMI ports from damage.
  • Cost-effective way to achieve longer cable runs.

Cons

  • Limited to HDMI 1.4 specifications (may not support 4K@120Hz or higher).
  • Flat cable can sometimes be less flexible in tight bends than round cables.
  • Extension might introduce slight signal degradation over very long total runs, though unlikely with this 2m addition.
  • Not suitable for users requiring the latest HDMI 2.1 features like 8K resolution or advanced gaming features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console) and your display device (e.g., TV, monitor) are powered off.
  2. Connect the male end of the Kenable extension cable to the available HDMI output port on your source device.
  3. Connect the female end of the Kenable extension cable to your existing HDMI cable.
  4. Connect the other end of your existing HDMI cable to the HDMI input port on your display device.
  5. Power on your devices and select the correct HDMI input on your display.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with all devices featuring a standard HDMI Type A port.
  • It supports the HDMI 1.4 standard, ensuring compatibility with resolutions up to 1080p and some 4K signals. It will also work with older HDMI versions but will be limited by the capabilities of the lowest version in the chain.
  • It is backward compatible with previous HDMI standards.

Care:

  • Keep connectors clean by wiping gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the cable away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable, which can strain the internal wiring.
