Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 0.2m HDMI extension cable is designed for users who need a short, discreet extension for their existing HDMI cable, primarily to prevent damage to ports or to achieve a cleaner setup. Its ultra-slim, flat profile is ideal for installations where cables need to run flush against walls or under carpets. While it offers excellent compatibility with modern video standards, its short length limits its use for significant distance extensions.

FAQs
What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?
This cable supports HDMI v1.4, which includes support for 4K video at 30Hz, and Full HD 1080p at higher refresh rates.
Can this cable extend my HDMI signal over a long distance?
No, this cable is a short extension of only 0.2 meters and is designed for very short connections or to prevent port damage, not for extending signals over significant distances.
Is this cable suitable for gaming?
Yes, it supports features like 1080p and 4K@30Hz, which are suitable for many gaming scenarios. For high-refresh-rate gaming (e.g., 120Hz or 4K@60Hz+), you would need a higher specification HDMI cable (e.g., HDMI 2.0 or 2.1).
Do I need to install any drivers for this cable?
No, this is a passive HDMI extension cable and uses plug-and-play technology. No drivers or software installation are required.
Will this cable work with my older HD TV?
Yes, as long as your older HD TV has a standard HDMI Type A port, this cable will work for signal transmission, even if it doesn't support all the advanced v1.4 features.
What does 'Audio Return Channel (ARC)' support mean?
ARC allows an HDMI cable to send audio from the TV back to an AV receiver or soundbar, reducing the number of cables needed for home theater setups.
How does the flat design benefit my setup?
The ultra-slim flat profile allows the cable to sit flush against walls, under carpets, or in tight spaces without creating bulky, unsightly bulges, leading to a cleaner and tidier installation.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal after connecting
Ensure both ends of the extension cable and your existing HDMI cable are firmly connected. Try connecting your existing HDMI cable directly to the source device to verify it's working. Check that the correct HDMI input is selected on your display. Ensure the source device is outputting a compatible resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 4K@30Hz or lower).
Intermittent signal loss or 'sparkles' on screen
Check for loose connections. Ensure the cable is not damaged or subjected to excessive bending. Try a different HDMI port on your display or source device. If using multiple extensions or adapters, try connecting with only the Kenable extension to isolate the issue.
Video is choppy or audio is distorted
Verify that the source resolution and refresh rate do not exceed the cable's supported specifications (HDMI v1.4 limits 4K to 30Hz). Ensure your source device and display also support these specifications. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate of the source output if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
