FAQs
Does this adaptor support 4K resolution?
Yes, provided the connected HDMI cables themselves are rated to support the bandwidth required for 4K resolution.
Can I use this to extend an existing cable beyond 15 feet?
You can, but be aware that HDMI signals are prone to degradation over long distances. If you experience signal issues, you may require an active HDMI repeater instead of a passive adaptor.
Does this adaptor support ARC (Audio Return Channel)?
Yes, as long as your HDMI cables are ARC-compatible, the adaptor will pass the signal through without issues.
Is this adaptor bi-directional?
Yes, the adaptor functions the same way regardless of which side the source or display device is plugged into.
Do I need to install any drivers to use this?
No, this is a passive hardware device and requires no software or driver installation.
Troubleshooting
No image or black screen on the display
Ensure both HDMI cables are fully inserted into the adaptor. Try unplugging and re-seating both ends to ensure a solid physical connection.
Intermittent signal loss or flickering
Check the total length of the two combined cables. If the total length exceeds the standard HDMI specification for your resolution (e.g., 4K), the signal may drop. Try using shorter cables.
Loose connection inside the adaptor
Inspect the cable connectors for damage. If the connection feels loose, ensure there is no weight pulling on the cables; use cable ties to support the weight of the cords.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply insert the male end of your first HDMI cable into one side of the adaptor and the male end of the second cable into the other. No software, power supply, or drivers are required. This adaptor is compatible with all devices utilizing standard HDMI inputs and outputs, including gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, laptops, and smart TVs. To care for the device, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the connected cables to prevent stress on the adaptor's internal pins. If you experience signal issues, ensure both cables are firmly pushed into the sockets until you hear or feel a secure "click" connection.
