FAQs
What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?
For cables 6m and longer, resolutions up to 4K@60Hz are supported. Shorter cables may support higher resolutions and refresh rates depending on their specific HDMI version.
Does this cable support HDR content?
Yes, this cable supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) for enhanced color and contrast, provided both your source device and display also support HDR.
What does 'ARC' support mean?
ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows your TV to send audio back to your soundbar or AV receiver using the same HDMI cable. This simplifies connections by reducing the number of cables needed.
How does the multi-layer shielding work?
The German-engineered shielding is built into the HDMI connector itself, providing an extra layer of protection against electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain a stable and clean signal, especially over longer distances.
Is this cable compatible with my PS5 or Xbox Series X?
Yes, this cable is compatible with all modern gaming consoles, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, supporting high-resolution gaming and features like variable refresh rate (VRR) if supported by the console and display.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
KabelDirekt offers a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer's warranty on these HDMI cables, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use this cable for 8K content?
While this cable supports 4K@60Hz and features like HDR and ARC, specific support for 8K resolutions depends on the HDMI version. For full 8K capabilities, please refer to the product specifications for the specific cable variant you are purchasing, as some KabelDirekt cables are specifically rated for 8K.
Troubleshooting
No signal or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with a shorter, known-good cable to rule out a cable fault. Check if your display supports the resolution/features being sent.
Poor video or audio quality (pixelation, static, dropouts)
Verify that the cable is fully seated. Ensure the cable length is appropriate for the signal resolution being transmitted (longer cables might have limitations). Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Try a different HDMI cable.
Device not recognized or detected
Power cycle both the source and display devices. Try connecting the cable when both devices are off. Ensure the HDMI port on the display is enabled and set to the correct input.
Ethernet channel not working
Confirm that both connected devices support HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality and that it is enabled in their settings. Ensure the cable is a version that supports Ethernet (most KabelDirekt HDMI cables do).
