Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Flat HDMI cable is designed for users needing discreet and efficient audio-visual connectivity, particularly for 4K resolution at 60Hz. Its key benefit is the ultra-flat, low-profile design that makes it ideal for subtle installations. A potential consideration is its short 0.25m length, which is best suited for devices in close proximity.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This cable supports 4K resolution at 60Hz. It is also backward compatible with lower resolutions like 1080p Full HD.

Is this cable suitable for running under a carpet?

Yes, the ultra-flat design (3mm thick, 1.2cm wide) makes it ideal for discreet installation under carpets, rugs, or behind skirting boards without creating noticeable bumps.

What does 'backward compatible' mean for this HDMI cable?

It means the cable can be used with older HDMI devices and standards. It will work with devices that output resolutions lower than 4K, such as 1080p or 720p.

What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?

Gold-plated connectors ensure optimal signal transmission, provide superior conductivity, prevent corrosion, and offer a more reliable and durable connection compared to standard connectors.

Is this cable suitable for connecting devices that are far apart?

No, this specific cable has a compact length of 0.25 meters, making it best suited for devices that are placed very close to each other. For longer distances, you would need a longer cable.

Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?

This cable is based on the HDMI 1.4 standard, which does not inherently support HDR. For HDR capabilities, an HDMI 2.0 or higher standard cable is typically required.

How do I clean the HDMI connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

No picture or intermittent signal

Ensure both HDMI connectors are fully inserted into the ports. Try a different HDMI port on your display device. Test the cable with different devices to isolate the issue. Check if the source device is outputting a compatible resolution (4K 60Hz or lower).

Poor video or audio quality (e.g., flickering, static, dropouts)

Verify that the cable is not damaged and that the connectors are clean. Ensure the cable is not exceeding its supported bandwidth limitations for the resolution and refresh rate being used (though 0.25m is very short for this to be an issue). If possible, try a different, known-good HDMI cable to compare performance.

Device not recognized

Confirm that both the source and display devices are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input. Perform a power cycle on both devices (turn them off, unplug them for 30 seconds, then plug them back in and turn them on). Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected at both ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Discreet and easy to hide due to the ultra-flat profile.
  • Supports high-resolution 4K video at 60Hz for excellent picture quality.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a stable and corrosion-resistant connection.
  • Durable construction with moulded strain relief for longevity.
  • Compact length reduces cable clutter in tight spaces.

Cons

  • The 0.25m length is too short for devices that are not in close proximity.
  • While HDMI 1.4 supports 4K at 60Hz, it does not support advanced features like HDR found in later HDMI versions.
  • Flat cables can sometimes be less flexible than round cables, potentially limiting routing options in very complex setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer).
  2. Connect the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).
  3. Ensure both connections are secure. The moulded ends provide a firm grip.
  4. Power on your devices. The cable supports Plug and Play functionality, so no additional driver installation is typically required.

Compatibility:

  • HDMI Version: This cable is based on HDMI 1.4 specifications. It supports 4K resolution at 60Hz and is fully backward compatible with older HDMI versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and resolutions such as 1080p (Full HD).
  • 3D Support: Compatible with devices that support 3D video formats.
  • Device Types: Suitable for use with TVs, monitors, projectors, computers, laptops, gaming consoles, AV receivers, and other HDMI-enabled devices.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the flat cable sharply, as this can strain the internal wires.
  • Keep the gold-plated connectors clean. If dust accumulates, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • When routing, ensure the cable is not subjected to continuous pressure or sharp edges that could damage its structure.
