FAQs
Does this cable support 4K at 120Hz?
Yes, this HDMI 2.1 cable supports 4K resolution at refresh rates up to 120Hz, provided both your source device and display also support these specifications.
What is eARC and does this cable support it?
eARC stands for Enhanced Audio Return Channel. This cable fully supports eARC, allowing for higher bandwidth and advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to be sent from your TV back to your soundbar or AV receiver.
Is this cable good for gaming?
Yes, this cable is excellent for gaming due to its support for high refresh rates (like 4K@120Hz) and features like VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), which reduce lag and screen tearing.
Will this cable work with my older TV (e.g., 1080p or 4K without HDMI 2.1)?
Yes, this cable is backward compatible and will work with older HDMI standards. However, you will only experience the capabilities supported by your older devices, not the full HDMI 2.1 features.
What does the braided design do?
The braided exterior provides increased durability, protecting the cable from physical wear and tear, making it more resistant to damage than standard plastic-coated cables. It also offers a more premium aesthetic.
How long is the cable?
This specific cable is 1.5 meters (approximately 4.9 feet) in length.
Troubleshooting
No picture or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Try a different HDMI port on your TV/display. Verify that both source and display devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate. If the issue persists, test with a different HDMI cable to rule out a cable fault.
No audio or poor audio quality
Confirm that eARC/ARC is enabled in your TV and sound system settings. Ensure the cable is connected to the correct eARC/ARC enabled HDMI ports on both devices. Check audio output settings on your source device.
Gaming is not smooth, screen tearing occurs
Verify that both your gaming console/PC and display support VRR. Ensure VRR is enabled in the settings of both the gaming device and the display. Check that the cable is connected to a VRR-compatible HDMI port.
Video quality is lower than expected (e.g., not 8K)
Ensure your source device is outputting the desired resolution (e.g., 8K). Confirm that your display device is capable of receiving and displaying that resolution. Check the display's input settings to ensure it's configured for the highest available bandwidth and resolution.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports the latest video and audio standards for future-proofing.
- High bandwidth ensures optimal performance for demanding applications like 8K video and high-refresh-rate gaming.
- Durable braided construction offers enhanced longevity and a premium feel.
- Advanced features like eARC and VRR improve audio quality and gaming experience.
- Versatile 1.5m length suits most common connection needs.
Cons
- May be overkill for users with only standard HD or older 4K displays.
- Requires compatible source devices and displays to utilize full HDMI 2.1 features.
- Braided cables can sometimes be stiffer than traditional PVC cables, depending on the braiding material.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming box) and the other end to an HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector). Ensure both devices are powered on and the correct input is selected on your display.
Compatibility: This cable is backward compatible with older HDMI standards (HDMI 2.0, 1.4, etc.). However, to benefit from features like 8K resolution, 4K@120Hz, 48Gbps bandwidth, eARC, and VRR, both your source device and display device must explicitly support these HDMI 2.1 features.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
- Keep connectors clean and free from dust; use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning if necessary.
- Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling or strain.
- Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture when not in use.
