Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Flat HDMI cable is designed for users needing to transmit high-resolution video and audio signals, particularly those looking for discreet cable management. Its key benefit is the ultra-low profile, allowing it to be easily hidden under carpets or along baseboards. A minor caveat is that while it supports 4K at 60Hz, it is based on the HDMI 1.4 standard, which may have limitations for certain advanced features like higher refresh rates at 4K compared to newer standards. This cable offers a reliable connection for 4K 60Hz, 1080p HD, and older HDMI devices, featuring gold-plated connectors for optimal signal integrity and robust molded ends for durability.

FAQs

What is the HDMI version of this cable?

This cable is based on the HDMI 1.4 specification. It supports 4K resolution at 60Hz and is backward compatible with older HDMI versions.

Can this cable be used for 3D viewing?

Yes, the HDMI 1.4 standard supports 3D video transmission, so this cable is suitable for 3D content.

How thin is the cable?

The cable has a low profile, measuring approximately 3mm in height and 1.2cm in width, making it ideal for discreet installations.

Is this cable suitable for running under carpets?

Yes, its flat and thin design is specifically suited for running under carpets, rugs, or along skirting boards without creating bumps or trip hazards.

What devices can I connect with this cable?

You can connect a wide range of HDMI-enabled devices, including TVs, monitors, projectors, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and streaming devices.

Do the gold-plated connectors make a difference?

Yes, gold plating ensures excellent conductivity for optimal signal transfer and prevents corrosion, leading to a more reliable and durable connection over time.

Will this cable support 4K at 120Hz or higher refresh rates?

This cable supports 4K at 60Hz as per the HDMI 1.4 standard. For higher refresh rates like 4K@120Hz, you would need a cable that supports a newer HDMI standard, such as HDMI 2.1.

Troubleshooting

No picture or sound from the display.

Ensure both devices are powered on. Verify the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Check that the cable is securely plugged into both the source and display devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen.

Ensure the cable is not damaged and is securely connected. Check that the cable is not being sharply bent or kinked. Dust or debris in the ports can sometimes cause issues; carefully clean the HDMI ports on both devices and the cable connectors. If the problem persists, the cable may be faulty or too long for the signal bandwidth required.

Lower resolution than expected (e.g., not displaying 4K).

Confirm that your source device is outputting 4K resolution and that your display device supports 4K. Ensure the HDMI cable is connected to a 4K-capable HDMI port on your display. Check the video settings on your source device. Note that while this cable supports 4K@60Hz, older devices or source material might default to lower resolutions.

Cable is too stiff or difficult to route.

The flat design is intended for specific routing paths like under carpets or along edges. Avoid forcing the cable into tight bends or sharp angles, as this can damage the internal conductors. Gently guide the cable along the desired path, allowing for slight curves where necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for discreet installations due to its flat and thin design.
  • Supports high-quality 4K 60Hz video output.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a reliable and corrosion-resistant connection.
  • Backward compatibility with older HDMI devices and resolutions.
  • Durable construction with molded ends for longevity.

Cons

  • Based on HDMI 1.4 standard, which might not support the latest features of HDMI 2.0+ (e.g., higher refresh rates at 4K, dynamic HDR).
  • The flat design, while discreet, could be more susceptible to kinking if mishandled compared to round cables.
  • Specific cable lengths vary, so ensure you select the appropriate size for your needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console) and display device (e.g., TV, monitor) are powered off before connecting the HDMI cable.
  2. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device.
  3. Connect the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device.
  4. Power on your devices. The display should automatically detect the signal. If not, select the correct HDMI input source on your display.

Compatibility:

  • HDMI Version: HDMI 1.4. Supports 4K@60Hz, 1080p Full HD, 720p HD, and older HDMI resolutions.
  • 3D Support: Yes, compatible with 3D content.
  • Connectors: Standard HDMI Type A (Male) on both ends.
  • Device Compatibility: Suitable for TVs, monitors, projectors, AV receivers, gaming consoles (PS4, Xbox One, etc.), Blu-ray players, Sky boxes, Apple TV, and other HDMI-enabled devices.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Handling: While the moulded ends offer protection, avoid excessive bending or twisting of the cable, especially near the connectors. The flat design is intended for routing, not for sharp folds.
  • Storage: If storing the cable, coil it loosely. Avoid tightly wrapping it, which could stress the flat conductors.
