Straight Connectors for Simple Installation

Both connectors have a straight form factor. This makes them easy to plug into typical TV and device ports. The male-to-male design fits standard HDMI sockets. Because the cable is 1 metre long, it suits close-proximity setups without excess slack.

4K and 3D Video Support

The cable supports up to 4096 x 2160 pixels and 3D video. This is suitable for 4K content from compatible sources. However, the cable is HDMI 1.4. Some advanced features of later HDMI versions may not be available. Always check your source and display specifications for full compatibility.

HDMI Ethernet Channel and ARC

ARC can send audio from a TV back to an AV receiver. So, you may reduce extra audio cabling. Note that both source and display must support these features.

Gold-Plated Connectors and Build Quality

The connector contacts are gold-plated. This provides a higher quality finish and helps resist corrosion. The 30 AWG wire is appropriate for this 1-metre length. For longer runs, consider a thicker gauge to maintain signal integrity.
