Troubleshooting
No image on the display

Pros and Cons
Pros
- EMI-resistant design for reliable performance in high-interference areas
- Supports full 18 Gbps bandwidth for True 4K 60Hz content
- Lossless audio transmission via Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
- Lightweight and flexible compared to standard long-run copper cables
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the VE781010 is straightforward but requires adherence to the directional labels on the connectors. The end marked 'Source' must be connected to the output device (e.g., PC, Blu-ray player), while the end marked 'Display' must be connected to the screen or projector.
Compatibility
- Devices: Compatible with any standard HDMI Type A device (HDMI 2.0 or earlier).
- Standards: Fully supports HDCP 2.2, 3D, and ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Care Instructions
- Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles, as the internal fiber optics can be damaged by extreme stress.

- When routing, do not pull with excessive force during installation to protect the internal optical components.
