FAQs

What is the main advantage of the gripping connectors?

The gripping connectors are designed to hold firmly onto the HDMI port, significantly reducing the chance of the cable accidentally becoming disconnected, which is crucial for stable A/V performance.

Does this cable support 4K resolution?

Yes, this cable supports 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at up to 60Hz, provided both your source device and display are capable of these specifications.

What does HDR10 support mean for my viewing experience?

HDR10 support means the cable can transmit High Dynamic Range video, offering a wider range of colors and better contrast between the brightest whites and darkest blacks for a more vibrant and lifelike image.

Is this cable compatible with older HDMI devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions, though it will only support the features of the lowest version in the chain (e.g., if connected to an HDMI 1.4 device, it will operate at HDMI 1.4 speeds and capabilities).

What is the maximum refresh rate this cable can handle?

The cable supports high refresh rates, including 1440p at 144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz, making it suitable for gaming and fast-moving content.

What does HDCP 2.2 ensure?

HDCP 2.2 is a copy protection protocol required for transmitting 4K Ultra HD content, including 4K Blu-rays and streaming services. This cable's compliance ensures compatibility with protected content.

What is the jacket material and why is it important?

The cable features a Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket, which is flexible and durable, tested to withstand significant bending. This ensures the cable can be routed easily and withstands regular use without damage.

Troubleshooting

No picture or intermittent signal

Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected. Try a different HDMI port on your display or source device. Verify that the display and source device are set to the correct input/output respectively. Test with another known working HDMI cable to rule out a cable defect.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected

Confirm that both your source device and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the correct HDMI 2.0 settings are enabled on your devices, if applicable. Check that the cable is fully seated in the ports.

Audio dropouts or no audio

Check the audio settings on your source device and display. Ensure the HDMI cable is functioning correctly by testing with another device. If using ARC, verify ARC is enabled on both the TV and the sound system/receiver.

Cable feels loose despite gripping connectors

Gently push the connector further into the HDMI port. Inspect the HDMI port on the device for any debris or damage that might be preventing a secure fit. Ensure you are using the correct type of HDMI port.
