FAQs
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports up to 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate (4K60).
Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?
While the cable supports 18Gbps bandwidth necessary for many HDR formats, HDR compatibility ultimately depends on the source device, display, and the specific HDMI version supported by all components in the chain.
Can I use this cable with older HDMI devices?
Yes, this cable is backward compatible with older HDMI versions, but it will perform at the maximum speed and capabilities of the slowest connected device.
What does the 'HDMI with Ethernet' feature mean?
It means the cable can carry network data alongside video and audio signals, allowing compatible devices to share an internet connection without a separate Ethernet cable.
Is the orange colour just for aesthetics?
The orange colour serves a practical purpose for visual identification, allowing users to easily distinguish this cable from others in a complex setup or to colour-code different connections.
How durable is the Rode HDMI cable?
It is built with professional-grade materials designed for durability and reliable performance, intended for frequent use.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Verify that both devices are powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different HDMI port on your display device or AV receiver. Test with another known working HDMI cable.
Intermittent signal loss or flickering
Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle. Try a different HDMI port. If using with a high-demand device, ensure the device's output settings do not exceed the cable's 4K60 capability.
Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)
Confirm that both the source device and the display device support 4K resolution and 4K60Hz. Ensure the HDMI port on the display device supports the required bandwidth (check device specifications for HDMI 2.0 compatibility). Adjust the video output settings on the source device.
Ethernet channel not functioning
Verify that both connected devices support the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature. Ensure the feature is enabled in the settings of both devices, if applicable. Note that this feature is not universally supported by all HDMI devices.
