Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 008188 HDMI cable is designed for users needing to connect flat-screen TVs and other devices in confined spaces, offering a neat solution with its dual right-angle connectors. It provides high-speed data transfer for 3D signals and is backward compatible with older HDMI standards. The primary caveat is its specific use case for tight spaces; for general long-distance runs, a straight connector might be more versatile.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the right-angle connectors?
The right-angle connectors are designed to help connect devices in tight spaces, such as behind wall-mounted TVs or in crowded AV cabinets, allowing the cable to exit at a 90-degree angle and prevent strain on the port.
Is this cable suitable for 4K resolution?
This cable is HDMI 1.4 compliant, which theoretically supports 4K resolution at 30Hz. For higher refresh rates or 4K at 60Hz and above, an HDMI 2.0 or higher cable would be recommended.
Can I use this cable for my PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X?
While the cable will physically connect and function for basic HD output, it is HDMI 1.4. Newer consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X can benefit from HDMI 2.1 features (like 4K@120Hz and VRR) which are not supported by this cable's standard.
Does the cable support ARC (Audio Return Channel)?
HDMI 1.4 with Ethernet, as specified for this cable, generally supports ARC. However, ensure both your TV and audio device also support ARC for this feature to function.
What does '30 AWG' mean?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire, which generally allows for better signal quality over longer distances. 30 AWG is a standard thickness for 5-meter HDMI cables.
How do I clean the gold-plated connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a soft, dry cloth. If there is any stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the connectors are completely dry before plugging them back in.
Troubleshooting
No picture or sound
Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected to the devices. Try plugging the cable into different HDMI ports on your TV or source device. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out a faulty cable. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your TV.
Intermittent signal or flickering screen
Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the connectors are clean. Try a shorter, different HDMI cable if available to see if the length or quality is an issue. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your device's display settings.
3D functionality not working
Confirm that both your display and source device support 3D and that 3D output is enabled in their respective settings. Ensure the HDMI cable is rated for High Speed with Ethernet, which this cable is, and capable of handling the required bandwidth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal for tight spaces and wall-mounted TVs.
- Supports 3D video and high-speed data transfer.
- Gold-plated connectors ensure a quality connection.
- Backward compatible with older HDMI devices.
- Durable molded connectors with strain relief.
Cons
- Right-angle connectors may not be suitable for all setups.
- 5-meter length might be excessive for very short runs.
- HDMI 1.4 is not the latest standard, lacking some newer features like 4K at 120Hz.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the HDMI Type A (Standard) male connector into the corresponding HDMI port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console, computer) and the other right-angle connector into your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector). Ensure both connectors are fully inserted. The angled nature of the connectors will dictate the direction of the cable exit from the port.
Compatibility: This cable is compliant with HDMI 1.4 and supports 3D signals. It is backward compatible with HDMI 1.3 and earlier versions. It will work with any device featuring standard HDMI Type A ports, including most modern TVs, monitors, computers, gaming consoles, and media players.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable and its connectors clean. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, moisture, or physical stress. If cleaning is necessary, gently wipe the connectors with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the cable is unplugged before cleaning. Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding sharp bends.
