FAQs

Do I need to plug in a power cable for the active chipset?

No. The active chipset draws the necessary power directly from the HDMI port of your source device, so no external power supply is needed.

Can I use this cable for 144Hz gaming?

Yes, this cable supports high refresh rates including 1440p at 144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz, making it ideal for competitive gaming.

Is this cable compatible with older HDMI versions?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with older HDMI standards, though the performance will be limited by the capabilities of your oldest device in the chain.

Does this cable support HDR?

Yes, it supports High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR10), ensuring your display can show higher contrast and more vibrant colors when playing HDR content.

What happens if I connect the cable backwards?

Because of the active electronics inside the connectors, the cable will not pass a signal if connected in the wrong direction.

Does it support Ethernet over HDMI?

Yes, it includes HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) support, which allows devices to share a network connection through the HDMI cable.

Troubleshooting

No signal appears on the monitor.

Verify that you have installed the cable in the correct direction. The 'Display' end must be plugged into the monitor and the 'Source' end into the input device.

Flickering screen or signal loss at 4K.

Ensure that the HDMI port on both the source and display supports HDMI 2.0 and that the firmware on your devices is up to date. Also, check that the cable is firmly seated in the ports.

Audio is not returning to the soundbar.

Ensure that the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature is enabled in your TV's audio settings and that your soundbar is connected to the specific ARC-labeled HDMI port on your TV.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable signal transmission over long 10m distance
  • No external power required for the active chipset
  • Highly durable gold-plated connectors and TPE jacket
  • Supports advanced gaming specs like 1440p 144Hz and 1080p 240Hz
  • Includes ARC and Ethernet support for versatile connectivity

Cons

  • Active cables are directional (Display/Source specific)
  • Thicker and less flexible than shorter passive cables
  • Cannot be cut or spliced to shorter lengths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is an active cable, it is directional. Each end of the cable is marked to indicate which device it should be plugged into: one end must go to the 'Source' (e.g., PC, console, Blu-ray player) and the other to the 'Display' (e.g., TV, projector, monitor). Failing to connect it in the proper direction will result in no signal.

To ensure long-term performance, avoid pinching the cable behind heavy furniture or tight 90-degree corners, despite its flexible TPE jacket. While it is rated for 2,000 bends, frequent unnecessary strain will shorten its lifespan. When storing or cleaning, keep the gold-plated connectors dry and free of dust, and store in temperatures between -20°C and 70°C.
