Full details
This Amazon Basics Mini HDMI to HDMI cable is designed for users needing to connect devices with a Mini HDMI port to standard HDMI displays. It offers a key benefit of supporting high-speed data transfer, including 4K resolution at 60Hz, along with Ethernet, 3D, and Audio Return Channel capabilities. A primary caveat is its incompatibility with mobile phones, requiring users to verify port type before purchase. Key features include HDMI 2.0 compliance, gold-plated connectors, and a durable 10-foot length.

FAQs
Is this cable compatible with all cameras?
This cable is compatible with digital cameras and camcorders that have a Mini HDMI (Type C) port. It is not compatible with mobile phones, even if they have a USB-C or micro-USB port that might resemble a video output.
What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?
The cable supports the HDMI 2.0 standard, which allows for a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) at 60 Hz.
Can I use this cable for internet connectivity?
Yes, if both your source device and display support the HDMI Ethernet Channel feature, this cable can enable network connectivity for compatible devices.
What does 'Audio Return Channel (ARC)' mean?
ARC allows audio to be sent from your TV back down the HDMI cable to a soundbar or AV receiver. This means you can often use a single cable for both video and audio from your receiver to the TV, and audio from the TV back to the receiver.
What is the warranty on this cable?
This cable is backed by the Amazon Basics Lifetime warranty.
How do I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, which could damage the plating or the connector.
Can I use this cable with my laptop?
You can use this cable with a laptop if your laptop is equipped with a Mini HDMI (Type C) output port. Standard laptops usually have a full-size HDMI port.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Check that both connected devices support the selected resolution and refresh rate. Try a different HDMI port on the display and ensure the source device is not a mobile phone.
Intermittent signal or flickering screen
Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or stress. Try connecting with a shorter or different cable to rule out cable failure. Ensure connected devices are outputting compatible signals.
Video resolution is lower than expected (e.g., not 4K)
Confirm that both the source device and the display support the desired resolution (e.g., 4K). Ensure the HDMI 2.0 standard is supported by both devices for features like 4K@60Hz. Check cable connection integrity.
Audio Return Channel (ARC) is not working
Ensure that ARC is enabled on both the TV and the audio receiver/soundbar. Verify that the cable is connected to the correct HDMI ports labeled 'ARC' on both devices. Confirm that the cable supports HDMI 2.0 features.
