Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Flat HDMI Cable is designed for users needing discreet and efficient video and audio connectivity, particularly for 4K content. Its primary benefit is its ultra-low profile, allowing it to be easily hidden under carpets or within walls. A potential caveat is its HDMI 1.4 specification, which, while backward compatible, may not support the absolute latest HDR features found in HDMI 2.0 and above. Key features include support for 4K at 60Hz, gold-plated connectors for optimal signal integrity, and a durable, flat design for flexible installation.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This cable supports 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate, compliant with the HDMI 1.4 specification.

Can this cable be used with older 1080p devices?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with older HDMI versions and lower resolutions such as 1080p.

How does the flat design help?

The flat design (approx. 3mm height) makes it easy to hide the cable discreetly, such as running it under carpets, along walls, or behind furniture, minimizing visible clutter.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the cable features gold-plated HDMI connectors to ensure optimal signal transfer and prevent corrosion.

What is the exact length of this specific cable?

This specific model is 0.5 meters in length.

Is this cable suitable for gaming?

Yes, its support for 4K at 60Hz makes it suitable for gaming on consoles and PCs that support these specifications, providing smooth visuals. However, for the absolute lowest latency requirements or advanced gaming features like VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) found in HDMI 2.1, this HDMI 1.4 cable may not be sufficient.

Can I run this cable inside a wall?

The flat and low-profile design is suitable for routing within wall cavities, but always ensure compliance with local building codes and fire safety regulations for in-wall cable installations. Professional installation is recommended for such applications.

Troubleshooting

No signal or 'No Input' message on the display.

Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely plugged into the correct input and output ports. Try a different HDMI port on the display device. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out cable failure. Verify the source device is powered on and outputting a signal.

Flickering or intermittent signal.

Check the connection security at both ends. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. If the cable is run through a wall or under flooring, check for any potential crushing or damage. Try a shorter, known-good cable if available to isolate the issue.

Video resolution or refresh rate issues (e.g., not displaying 4K at 60Hz).

Confirm that both your source device and display device support 4K at 60Hz. Ensure the HDMI cable is correctly identified as supporting the required bandwidth (HDMI 1.4 is generally sufficient for 4K@60Hz, but some very high-bandwidth features might require newer standards). Check display settings on the source device.

Audio dropouts or no audio.

Ensure the audio settings on your source device are correctly configured for HDMI output. Check that the HDMI cable is fully inserted at both ends. Test with a different HDMI cable or source/display combination.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for discrete installations due to its flat and low-profile design.
  • Supports high-resolution 4K video at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate.
  • Gold-plated connectors enhance signal quality and prevent corrosion.
  • Backward compatible with a wide range of HDMI devices.
  • Durable construction with moulded ends for secure connections.

Cons

  • HDMI 1.4 specification may not support advanced features like certain HDR formats found in newer HDMI versions.
  • The 0.5m length may be too short for some longer cable run requirements.
  • Flat design, while good for hiding, can be less flexible than round cables in tight spaces.
  • Bulkier than some ultra-thin modern HDMI cables if flexibility is paramount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a Plug and Play device. Simply connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., laptop, gaming console, Blu-ray player) and the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).

Compatibility:

  • HDMI Devices: Compatible with all devices featuring an HDMI Type A port, including TVs, monitors, projectors, laptops, gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), Blu-ray players, Sky boxes, Virgin Media boxes, Apple TV, Fire TV, and more.
  • HDMI Versions: Supports HDMI 1.4 specification, ensuring compatibility with older HDMI standards and future-proofing for most current applications. It is backward compatible with all previous HDMI versions.
  • Resolution: Supports 4K resolution at 60Hz. For resolutions lower than 4K, it is also backward compatible.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connector ends, to prevent damage to the internal wiring.
  • Keep connectors clean. If dust accumulates, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections are secure but do not overtighten or force the connectors into the ports.
  • When routing under carpets or through walls, ensure no sharp objects or excessive pressure points are applied to the cable.
