Product Information

Full details

This kenable HDMI adapter is for users who need to connect a standard HDMI cable to a device with a Micro HDMI (Type D) port, most commonly found on mobile phones and some cameras. Its key benefit is enabling high-definition video and audio transfer between devices without needing a new cable. A caveat is that it only converts the connector type; it does not extend the cable length or add any new functionality.

FAQs

What is the difference between Micro HDMI and standard HDMI?

Micro HDMI (Type D) is a smaller version of the standard HDMI (Type A) connector, typically found on smaller portable devices like smartphones and some cameras. Standard HDMI is larger and found on TVs, computers, and gaming consoles.

Does this adapter convert signal type (e.g., analog to digital)?

No, this adapter only changes the physical connector shape from standard HDMI (female) to Micro HDMI (male). It does not convert signal types. It facilitates the connection of compatible digital signals.

Can I use this adapter to connect my phone to my computer's HDMI port for file transfer?

This adapter is designed for video and audio output, not data transfer. File transfer typically requires a USB connection, not HDMI.

What resolutions does this adapter support?

The adapter supports resolutions compatible with the connected standard HDMI cable and the input/output capabilities of both devices. It is generally capable of supporting high-definition resolutions like 1080p and potentially higher, depending on the source and display.

Is this adapter compatible with all devices that have a Micro HDMI port?

It is compatible with devices that use the HDMI Micro (Type D) standard. However, always check your specific device's manual to confirm its port type and compatibility requirements.

Why are the connectors gold-plated?

Gold plating provides better electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a more stable and reliable signal connection over time compared to standard metal connectors.

Does this adapter require external power?

No, this adapter is passive and draws power from the HDMI connection itself. It does not require any external power source.

Troubleshooting

No image or audio displayed

Ensure the standard HDMI cable is securely connected to the adapter and the source device. Verify the Micro HDMI end is fully inserted into the display device. Check that both devices are powered on and set to the correct input/output. Test with a different standard HDMI cable or a different Micro HDMI device if possible.

Intermittent signal or flickering screen

Check for loose connections at both ends. Ensure the adapter's gold-plated connectors are clean. The issue may also stem from the connected standard HDMI cable; try a different, certified HDMI cable. Verify that the resolution and refresh rate settings are supported by both devices.

Adapter does not fit the Micro HDMI port

Confirm that the device requires an HDMI Micro (Type D) connector. Ensure no debris is obstructing the port on the device or the adapter's plug. Do not force the connection, as this may cause damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Converts standard HDMI to Micro HDMI Type D, expanding device compatibility.
  • Supports high-definition video and multi-channel audio.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a stable and durable connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect your standard HDMI cable to the HDMI A (female) socket of the kenable adapter.
  2. Connect the Micro HDMI (male Type D) plug of the adapter to the corresponding Micro HDMI port on your device (e.g., mobile phone, camera).
  3. Ensure both the source device (connected via standard HDMI cable) and the display device (with Micro HDMI input) are powered on and set to the correct input source.

Compatibility:

  • Input: Compatible with standard HDMI Type A cables.
  • Output: Designed for devices featuring an HDMI Micro (Type D) port.
  • Content Protection: Supports HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
  • Resolution: Supports resolutions compatible with both the source device and the display, typically up to 1080p or higher depending on the connected devices.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the connectors and adapter body with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and potential damage.
  • Handling: Avoid excessive force when plugging or unplugging the adapter to prevent damage to the Micro HDMI port on your device or the adapter itself. The Micro HDMI connector is delicate.
