Product Information
Full details
This Kenable Pro HDMI cable is designed for users seeking a durable and high-performance connection for modern A/V equipment, including gaming consoles, 3D TVs, and home theater systems. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction and support for the latest HDMI 1.4 features like 4K resolution and Ethernet, offering a premium experience without the premium price tag. A potential caveat is that 4K resolution is supported at 30Hz, which may not be suitable for all high-frame-rate gaming applications.

FAQs
What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?
This cable supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K at a refresh rate of 30Hz.
Can this cable be used for high-refresh-rate gaming (e.g., 120Hz)?
This cable supports HDMI 1.4 features, including 4K at 30Hz. For gaming requiring higher refresh rates at high resolutions (like 4K @ 120Hz), a cable with higher bandwidth specifications (e.g., HDMI 2.0 or 2.1) would be necessary.
What is the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature?
ARC allows audio to travel from your TV back to your soundbar or receiver through the same HDMI cable, simplifying your audio setup and reducing the need for a separate audio cable.
Does the Ethernet support mean I don't need a separate network cable?
Yes, if both your source device and display support the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature, this cable can enable network connectivity for your devices without an additional Ethernet cable.
Is this cable compatible with older HDMI devices?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older HDMI versions such as v1.3 and v1.2.
How do I clean the cable connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials to prevent damage.
What does 'HDCP Compatible' mean?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copy protection standard required for displaying protected content like Blu-rays and streaming services. This cable's compatibility ensures you can view such content.
Troubleshooting
No picture or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is firmly connected to both the source and display devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with another known working HDMI cable to rule out a faulty cable. Check if the source device is outputting a compatible resolution.
No audio or poor audio quality
Verify that ARC is enabled in the settings of both your TV and audio device if using ARC. Ensure the correct HDMI input is selected on your audio receiver. Check audio settings on the source device.
4K resolution not displaying correctly
Confirm that both your source device and display support 4K resolution. This cable supports 4K at 30Hz; ensure your device settings match this or a lower supported resolution. Check device specifications for higher bandwidth requirements if issues persist.
Ethernet connectivity not working
Ensure both the source and display devices support the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature. Verify that network sharing is enabled in the device settings. This feature relies on compatible hardware on both ends.
