Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?
Yes, the cable supports HDR, provided that both your source and display devices are HDR-compatible.
Can this cable be used for Ethernet networking?

Can I use this cable for long-distance runs?
At 3 meters, this cable is suitable for most standard setups. For significantly longer distances, active HDMI cables or signal boosters might be necessary to maintain signal integrity.
Troubleshooting
No signal or flickering video
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different HDMI port on your devices. Verify that both devices support the resolution and refresh rate being used. Test with another known working HDMI cable.
Audio dropouts or no audio
Check that the audio settings on your source device are configured correctly. Ensure the HDMI cable is fully seated. If using ARC, confirm it's enabled on both devices.
Slow data transfer (if using Ethernet over HDMI)
Verify that the HDMI ports on both devices support Ethernet Channel (HEC). Ensure the network settings on the connected devices are configured properly.
Image quality is poor (e.g., pixelated, wrong colours)
Confirm that the source device is outputting the correct resolution and colour depth. Ensure the cable is fully inserted and undamaged. Check device settings for HDR compatibility and colour space options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Connect one end of the RØDE HDMI Cable to the output port of your source device (e.g., computer, camera).
- Connect the other end to the input port of your display device (e.g., monitor, TV).
