FAQs

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This Ultra HDMI 2.1 cable supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz and 4K resolution at 120Hz.

Is this cable compatible with my older 4K TV?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible with older HDMI standards, including those for 4K TVs. However, you will only get the benefits of HDMI 2.1 if both your source and display devices support it.

What does the 48Gbps bandwidth mean for me?

The 48Gbps bandwidth allows for the transmission of high-resolution video (like 8K) and high-frame-rate content without compression, ensuring the best possible picture quality and smooth motion.

Can this cable carry audio signals?

Yes, it supports advanced audio features including eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), which allows for high-quality, immersive audio formats to be sent from your TV back to your soundbar or receiver.

Why is the cable only 0.5 meters long?

The 0.5-meter length is designed for users who have their devices placed very close to each other, such as a gaming console directly below a TV, helping to minimize cable clutter and maintain a clean setup.

Do I need specific settings enabled on my TV for HDR to work?

Yes, typically you will need to enable HDR settings on both your source device and your TV. Consult your TV's manual for specific instructions on enabling HDR or 'Enhanced HDMI' mode for the relevant input port.

What devices can I use this cable with?

You can use this cable with any device that has an HDMI port, including UHD TVs, 4K/8K projectors, gaming consoles (like PS5, Xbox Series X), Blu-ray players, streaming devices, soundbars, and AV receivers.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both the source and display ports. Verify that both devices are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input. Try a different HDMI port on your display device. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.

Flickering screen or intermittent signal loss

Check that the cable is not damaged and is securely connected. Ensure the source and display devices are set to resolutions and refresh rates supported by the cable and your equipment. Try restarting both the source and display devices.

Reduced resolution or refresh rate

Confirm that your source device, the cable, and your display device all support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 4K @ 120Hz). Check the display settings on your source device and ensure it's configured to output the maximum supported signal.

eARC or ARC audio not working

Make sure both devices have eARC/ARC enabled in their audio settings. Ensure the cable is connected to the designated eARC/ARC ports on both the TV and the soundbar/receiver. Verify that your receiver/soundbar supports the audio format being sent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest high-resolution formats (8K and 4K @ high refresh rates)
  • High bandwidth (48Gbps) for uncompressed data transfer
  • Includes advanced features like HDR and eARC for enhanced viewing and sound
  • Compact design minimizes clutter for closely positioned devices
  • Broad compatibility with most modern AV and gaming equipment

Cons

  • The 0.5m length may be too short for devices that are not in close proximity
  • Requires compatible source and display devices to utilize all HDMI 2.1 features
  • Potential for physical strain if bent too sharply due to its compact nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the HDMI 2.1 cable to the output port of your source device (e.g., gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming device) and the other end to the input port of your display device (e.g., UHD TV, monitor, AV receiver). Ensure the cable is securely inserted into both ports. For optimal performance with high-resolution content, verify that both the source and display devices are set to their highest resolution and refresh rate capabilities within their respective menus.

Compatibility: This cable is designed to be backward compatible with all previous HDMI versions. However, to take full advantage of features like 8K resolution, 120Hz refresh rates, HDR, and eARC, both the source device, the cable itself, and the display device must support these specific HDMI 2.1 features.

Care: To ensure longevity and maintain performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Keep the connectors clean by gently wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and physical stress. Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
