FAQs
Is this cable compatible with 4K televisions?
This cable is built to HDMI 1.4 standards and supports up to 1080p resolution. While it may technically connect to a 4K TV, it will not support 4K resolution output.
Does this cable transmit audio?
Yes, HDMI cables transmit both digital video and high-quality multichannel audio signals simultaneously.
Will this work with a gaming console like a PlayStation or Xbox?
Yes, this cable is compatible with most gaming consoles for standard 1080p high-definition gaming.
Is the cable shielded against interference?
The cable is constructed for reliable performance, but it is recommended to keep it away from large power transformers or high-voltage cabling to prevent potential interference.
What is the primary benefit of the 5-meter length?
The 5-meter length allows you to connect devices that are placed far apart, such as a desktop PC connected to a television across a room or a wall-mounted TV connected to an entertainment unit below.
Troubleshooting
No signal detected on the display
Verify that both ends of the cable are firmly seated in the HDMI ports and ensure the TV is set to the correct input channel.
Picture flickering or intermittent signal
Check the cable for any sharp kinks or physical damage and ensure it is not bundled tightly with power cables which can cause electromagnetic interference.
Resolution appears lower than 1080p
Check the settings on your source device to ensure the output resolution is set to 1920 x 1080p and confirm that the display supports this resolution.
