FAQs

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This cable supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (2160p) at a refresh rate of 30 Hertz.

Is this cable compatible with 1080p displays?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible and will work perfectly with 1080p displays and lower resolutions.

What does 'ARC' stand for and does this cable support it?

ARC stands for Audio Return Channel. Yes, this cable supports ARC, allowing audio to travel from the TV back to a sound system via the same HDMI cable.

Can I use this cable for high-refresh-rate gaming?

While it supports high-definition video, its 4K support is limited to 30Hz. For gaming requiring higher refresh rates (e.g., 120Hz at 1080p or 4K), you would need a cable that supports HDMI 2.0 or higher with greater bandwidth.

What is the 'HDMI Ethernet Channel' feature?

This feature allows devices connected via HDMI to share an internet connection, reducing the need for a separate Ethernet cable. However, both connected devices must also support this feature.

How durable is the braided design?

The braided nylon protection layer is designed to protect the internal wires from abrasion and damage, significantly increasing the cable's lifespan compared to standard plastic-sheathed cables.

What is the difference between this cable and a standard HDMI cable?

This Pro HDMI cable features a more robust build with braided nylon and metal connectors, enhanced compatibility with HDMI 1.4 features (like ARC and Ethernet), and a flat design for easier installation, compared to basic, often round, HDMI cables.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent picture

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Check if the source device is outputting a compatible resolution. Test with another known-good HDMI cable to rule out a cable fault.

No sound (when using ARC)

Verify that ARC is enabled on both your TV and your audio device (soundbar/receiver). Ensure the HDMI cable is connected to the designated ARC-enabled HDMI ports on both devices. Consult your device manuals for specific ARC setup instructions.

Poor video quality or artifacts

Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not exceeding its specified resolution and refresh rate limits (4K@30Hz). For longer runs or if issues persist, consider a shorter or certified High-Speed cable.

Network issues (when using HDMI Ethernet)

Confirm that both your TV/device and the cable support the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature. Ensure the feature is enabled in your device's settings. Note that this feature is not universally supported or implemented.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction with braided nylon and metal ends for durability.
  • Supports modern HDMI features like 3D, ARC, and Ethernet channel.
  • Excellent visual performance with 4K resolution support.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable signal transmission.
  • Flat cable design facilitates easy installation and concealment.
  • Backward compatible with older HDMI standards.

Cons

  • 4K resolution support is limited to 30Hz, which may not be ideal for all high-refresh-rate gaming applications.
  • While supporting ARC and Ethernet, specific device implementation can vary.
  • The 3-meter length might be too long for some shorter setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer) and the other end to an HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor). Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting or disconnecting cables. Once connected, power on your devices. Your display should automatically detect the signal. If not, you may need to select the correct HDMI input source on your TV or monitor using its remote control.

Compatibility: This cable is designed to be fully compatible with HDMI 1.4 specifications. It supports 3D video, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and HDMI Ethernet Channel. It is also backwardly compatible with older HDMI versions (1.3, 1.2) and devices using standard HDMI Type A connectors. For advanced features like 4K@30Hz, ARC, or Ethernet, ensure both your connected devices also support these specific features.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust; use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • When disconnecting, pull by the connector housing, not the cable itself.
  • Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
