Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this an active or passive HDMI cable?

This is an active HDMI cable. It contains electronics that boost and regenerate the signal, allowing it to reliably transmit 4K video over a 15-meter distance. This means both the source and display devices must have HDMI 2.0 compatible ports.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports resolutions up to 4K (4096x2160 or 3840x2160) at 60Hz with HDR10. It also supports high refresh rates such as 1440p at 144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz.

How do the latching connectors work?

The gold-plated HDMI connectors have a built-in gripping mechanism. When inserted, they provide a secure mechanical lock that resists accidental unplugging due to vibration, tension, or handling.

Does this cable support HDCP 2.2?

Yes, the cable is HDCP 2.2 compliant, which is necessary for streaming protected 4K content from sources like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and UHD Blu-ray discs.

Can I use this cable with older HDMI devices?

While the cable is designed for HDMI 2.0 features, it is backward compatible with older HDMI versions (1.4, 1.3, etc.). However, you will be limited to the capabilities of the older standard (e.g., lower resolution, refresh rate, or bandwidth).

What is the warranty for this product?

The product comes with a lifetime limited manufacturer warranty.

Can this cable be used with USB-C devices?

Yes, this HDMI cable can be used with USB-C to HDMI adapters or docks, particularly with compatible MacBooks (like those with Apple M-series Pro/Max chips) to connect to HDMI displays.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent signal.

Verify that both the source and display devices support HDMI 2.0. Ensure the cable is securely latched into both ports. Try a different HDMI port on the display. Test with a shorter, known-working HDMI cable to rule out source/display issues.

Resolution limited to 1080p instead of 4K.

Confirm that both the source device's output settings and the display's input settings are configured for 4K resolution. Check that the source device is capable of outputting 4K@60Hz. Ensure HDCP 2.2 is supported and enabled if required by the content source.

Audio is not working.

Check the audio output settings on your source device and ensure the correct audio format (e.g., stereo, surround sound) is selected. Verify that audio is enabled in the display's settings. Ensure the HDMI cable is fully seated.

Latching connector feels loose or doesn't latch.

Inspect the connector and the HDMI port for any debris or damage. Ensure the latching mechanism is not obstructed. If the connector or port is damaged, the cable or the port may need replacement.

  2. Connect one end of the HDMI2-CABLE-GRIP-15M to the source device's HDMI output.
  3. Connect the other end to the display device's HDMI input.
  4. Gently push the connectors until they securely latch into place.
