Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Flat HDMI cable is designed for users needing a discreet and high-performance connection for their audio-visual equipment, supporting 4K at 60Hz. Its primary benefit is its low-profile design, making it ideal for tight spaces or concealed installations. A potential caveat is that while it supports 4K@60Hz, older HDMI versions (1.3c specified in some details) might limit certain advanced features if used with very old equipment. Key features include its flat design, gold-plated connectors for optimal signal quality, and robust moulded ends for durability.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate this cable supports?

This cable supports Ultra HD 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Can I use this cable with older devices like a PS3 or a standard HD TV?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will work with older devices supporting Full HD 1080p, 720p, and earlier HDMI standards.

How does the flat design help with installation?

The flat, low-profile design (approx. 3mm height) allows the cable to be easily hidden under carpets, rugs, or along skirting boards without creating noticeable bumps or trip hazards, making for a cleaner installation.

Are the gold-plated connectors for aesthetics or function?

The gold-plated connectors are functional. They ensure superior conductivity for a stable signal and resist corrosion, which contributes to the cable's longevity and performance.

What are the physical dimensions of the cable?

The cable is approximately 1.2cm in width and 3mm in height, providing a very low profile.

Is this cable suitable for running behind walls?

Yes, its flat and flexible design makes it suitable for running under carpets, flooring, or discreetly along walls, provided it is installed safely and in accordance with any building regulations.

What does 'backward compatible' mean in this context?

It means the cable can connect and function with devices that use older versions of the HDMI standard, not just the latest ones.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on the source and display devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Test with another HDMI cable to rule out a faulty cable. Check that the correct input source is selected on your TV or monitor.

Intermittent signal or flickering screen

Verify that the cable is not damaged, especially at the connector ends or where it might be bent. Ensure connections are clean. Try running the cable away from sources of electrical interference (e.g., power cords, Wi-Fi routers).

Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)

Confirm that both your source device and your display device support 4K resolution at the desired refresh rate. Check the display settings on your source device to ensure 4K output is enabled. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the ports.

Cable is too stiff or difficult to route

While flat cables are designed for discreet routing, avoid forcing the cable into extremely tight bends, as this can damage the internal conductors. Gently guide the cable along its intended path, using appropriate cable management accessories if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Discreet cable management due to its flat and low-profile design.
  • Supports high resolutions (4K@60Hz) and refresh rates.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors and moulded ends.
  • Backward compatibility ensures it works with a wide range of devices.
  • Ideal for installations where cable visibility is a concern.

Cons

  • HDMI version 1.3c specification might limit certain advanced features on very new equipment.
  • Flat design, while good for concealment, might be less flexible than round cables in very tight bends.
  • Weight of 150g might be more than some very thin cables, though not significantly impactful for typical use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, laptop).
  2. Connect the other end to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).
  3. Ensure both ends are securely plugged in. The moulded connectors are designed for a firm fit.
  4. If the cable needs to be run under flooring or along walls, carefully place it to avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal wiring.

Compatibility:

  • This cable uses standard HDMI Type A connectors, making it compatible with virtually all devices featuring HDMI ports.
  • It supports HDMI versions up to 1.4 (specified in some details) and is backward compatible with older HDMI standards (1.3c, 1.0, etc.), including Full HD 1080p and 720p resolutions.
  • The cable supports 3D video signals.

Care:

  • To clean the cable, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive heat or moisture.
  • Regularly check connection points for dust or debris and clean gently with a dry cloth or compressed air if necessary.
  • Avoid storing the cable in tight coils, especially for extended periods, to maintain the integrity of the flat design.
