Troubleshooting
No signal or flickering image
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the source and display devices. Verify that both devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 4K 60Hz). Check that your source and display have HDMI 2.0 ports for 4K HDR content. Try a different HDMI port on your display or source device. Test with a shorter, standard HDMI cable to rule out issues with the source or display.
Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)
Confirm that the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature is enabled in the settings of both your TV and audio device (if applicable). Ensure audio settings on your source device are configured correctly. Check that the HDMI cable is fully seated in the ports.
Reduced resolution or frame rate
Confirm that your source device is outputting the desired resolution and refresh rate. Check that both the source and display devices are capable of supporting the signal (e.g., 4K 60Hz, HDR). Ensure the cable is not damaged and is properly connected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a Plug & Play device. Simply connect the HDMI Type A connector at one end to your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, PC) and the other HDMI Type A connector to your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor). Ensure both connected devices have HDMI ports that support HDMI 2.0 specifications for optimal performance, especially for 4K 60Hz HDR content.
Compatibility: The cable is compliant with HDMI v2.0 and v1.4, making it backward compatible with older HDMI standards. It supports HDCP 2.2 for protected content, ARC, CEC, and EDID functions. Ensure your source and display devices support these features for full functionality.
Care: Handle the cable with care, avoiding sharp bends or kinks, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the fiber optic core. Keep connectors clean by gently wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
