Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable active or passive?

This is an active HDMI cable, meaning it contains built-in circuitry to boost and equalize the HDMI signal, allowing for longer transmission distances without signal loss.

Do I need external power for this cable?

No, the active circuitry within the cable is powered by the HDMI port itself, so no external power adapter is required.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 / 4096 x 2160) at 30Hz, and 1080p at up to 120Hz.

Can I run this cable inside my walls?

Yes, the cable is CL2 rated, making it safe for in-wall installations in residential and commercial environments.

Does this cable support 4K at 60Hz?

This cable is based on HDMI 1.4b standards and supports 4K resolution at 30Hz. For 4K at 60Hz, you would typically need an HDMI 2.0 or higher specification cable.

How do I know which end to plug into my TV and which into my source?

The cable is unidirectional. Connect the end labeled 'Source' to your HDMI output device (like a computer or media player) and the end labeled 'Display' to your HDMI input device (like a TV or monitor).

Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?

This cable is HDMI 1.4b compliant and does not officially support HDR, which is a feature of later HDMI specifications (HDMI 2.0a and above).

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure the cable is connected in the correct direction ('Source' to source device, 'Display' to display device). Check that both HDMI ports on the connected devices are functional. Try connecting with a shorter, standard HDMI cable to confirm device functionality.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering

Verify that the connectors are fully inserted into the HDMI ports. Check for any physical damage to the cable. Ensure the connected devices support the resolution and refresh rate being transmitted. If installed in-wall, ensure the cable is not kinked or under excessive tension.

Reduced video quality or resolution limitations

Confirm that both the source device and the display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the cable is not exceeding its specified bandwidth capabilities (e.g., trying to push 4K at 60Hz on a 1.4b cable is not supported).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves long-distance HDMI connectivity without signal loss.
  • Integrated amplifier eliminates the need for external power sources.
  • CL2 rating makes it suitable for safe, in-wall installations.
  • Supports high resolutions (up to 4K) and refresh rates (120Hz) for excellent video quality.
  • Gold-plated connectors provide durable and reliable connections.

Cons

  • Unidirectional design requires careful attention to source and display connections.
  • Limited to HDMI 1.4b standards, may not support the latest features of HDMI 2.0 or higher.
  • Bulkier cable diameter (8.5 mm) might be less flexible in tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Direction: This cable is unidirectional. Look for the labels 'Source' and 'Display' on the HDMI connectors.
  2. Connect Source: Connect the 'Source' labeled end to your HDMI output device (e.g., computer, game console, Blu-ray player).
  3. Connect Display: Connect the 'Display' labeled end to your HDMI input device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).

Compatibility:

  • Fully compatible with devices featuring standard HDMI Type A ports.
  • Supports HDMI 1.4b features including 3D, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and HDMI Ethernet Channel.
  • Compliant with HDCP 1.4.
  • Supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 / 4096 x 2160) at 30Hz, and 1080p at 120Hz.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal damage.
  • Keep connectors clean and free of dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
  • For in-wall installations, ensure proper support and avoid areas with excessive heat or moisture.
