Product Information
Full details
The Lindy HDMI Power Injector Cable is designed for users experiencing power delivery issues with their HDMI accessories. It effectively solves problems where source devices don't provide enough power for active HDMI cables, converters, or extenders, ensuring stable operation. A minor caveat is that it requires an additional USB power source if the source device's USB port is insufficient. This cable acts as an intermediary, bridging the power gap between your HDMI source and accessory.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the Lindy HDMI Power Injector Cable?
This cable provides additional power to HDMI accessories like active cables, converters, and splitters that may require more power than a standard HDMI port can supply from the source device.
Do I need a separate power adapter for this cable?
Not always. You can power it via a USB port on your source device. However, if the source device's USB port does not provide sufficient power, an external 5V USB power adapter (not included) is recommended.
What types of HDMI accessories benefit most from this cable?
Active HDMI cables, HDMI to VGA converters, HDMI fiber optic cables, and bus-powered HDMI switches or splitters are the primary beneficiaries, as they often have higher power requirements.
What is the length of the HDMI and USB cables?
The HDMI cable is 15cm long, and the USB power cable is 50cm long.
Does this cable improve video or audio quality?
No, this cable is designed solely to provide additional power to HDMI accessories. It does not process or enhance the video or audio signal itself.
What is the output voltage of the injector?
The injector supplies a 5V output voltage via its USB connection.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy HDMI Power Injector Cable comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Troubleshooting
HDMI accessory not working or intermittently disconnecting
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to a power source. Try connecting the USB cable to a different USB port on the source device or use a dedicated external USB power adapter. Verify that the HDMI connections are firmly seated.
No signal after connecting the injector
Check that the HDMI cables are connected in the correct order (Source -> Injector -> Accessory). Ensure all HDMI ports are clean. Try connecting the accessory directly to the source without the injector to confirm it functions under normal power conditions.
Source device USB port not providing enough power
Use a powered USB hub or a dedicated 5V external USB power adapter for the injector's USB cable. This is common with older PCs or devices with limited USB power output.
