FAQs

What does CL3-Rated mean for this HDMI cable?

CL3-rated means the cable has passed specific safety standards for in-wall installations, indicating it is designed to meet fire safety requirements for use within walls, ceilings, or conduits.

Can this cable support 4K resolution?

Yes, this cable supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160 / 4096 x 2160) at up to 30Hz, and 1080p resolutions up to 120Hz.

Is this cable suitable for a gaming PC or console?

Yes, it supports high refresh rates up to 120Hz at 1080p, making it suitable for gaming where smooth motion is important. For higher 4K gaming frame rates, ensure your devices and the cable's bandwidth capabilities align.

What is the maximum bandwidth of this HDMI 1.4b cable?

This HDMI 1.4b cable has a maximum bandwidth of 10.2 Gbps.

Does the cable support Audio Return Channel (ARC)?

Yes, this cable supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature, allowing audio to be sent from the TV back to an AV receiver over the same HDMI cable.

Can I use this cable for standard, non-in-wall connections?

Yes, while rated for in-wall use, it functions perfectly as a standard HDMI cable for any application requiring a 5-meter connection.

What materials are used for the connectors and shielding?

The cable features gold-plated HDMI connectors for optimal conductivity and durability. It is also shielded with Al-Mylar foil and a copper braid for superior protection against electromagnetic interference.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected to the source and display devices. Verify that the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Try connecting a different HDMI cable to rule out a cable fault. Check device power and settings.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering video

Check for any potential damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle or under stress. Verify that no other electronic devices are causing significant electromagnetic interference near the cable run. If installed in-wall, ensure the cable is not pinched or damaged.

Resolution or refresh rate issues (e.g., 4K not displaying correctly)

Confirm that both your source device and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the HDMI port on both devices supports the required bandwidth (e.g., HDMI 1.4b or higher). Update device firmware if available.

Cable not recognized by devices

Power cycle both the source and display devices. Try connecting the cable to different HDMI ports on your devices. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • CL3 rating ensures safety and compliance for in-wall installations.
  • Supports high resolutions (4K) and refresh rates (120Hz) for future-proofing.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors and robust shielding.
  • 5-meter length offers flexibility for various installation scenarios.
  • Enables high-quality audio and video transmission with support for 3D and Deep Color.

Cons

  • CL3 rating may add cost for applications not requiring in-wall installation.
  • HDMI 1.4b has a maximum bandwidth of 10.2 Gbps, which may be a limitation for future ultra-high-resolution formats beyond 4K at higher frame rates.
  • Fixed cable length of 5 meters may not suit all installation distances.
  • White color might not blend seamlessly with all interior aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer) and the other end to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor). Ensure both devices are powered off before making connections. For in-wall installations, follow local building codes and ensure the cable is properly secured and protected within the wall cavity as per its CL3 rating.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices featuring HDMI Type A ports. It supports HDMI 1.4b standards, including 3D, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and HDMI Ethernet Channel. It is backward compatible with older HDMI versions.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Keep connectors clean and free of dust; use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning if necessary. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the connectors. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive tension or physical damage, especially during installation and within wall cavities.
