Slim Specs Table

4K and 3D Video Support

This cable supports HDMI v1.4 features, including 4K x 2K resolution. It also handles 3D over HDMI for compatible setups. In practice, this means it can connect modern media players to 4K displays. However, the source and display must both support these modes. Always verify your equipment’s capabilities before purchase.

Tight-Length Installation Advantage

The 0.5-metre length is ideal for minimalist desk setups. It minimises excess cable routing behind wall-mounted TVs. This reduces signal clutter and keeps your area tidy. Because it is a short lead, it is not suitable for distant connections. Confirm the physical distance between your devices before ordering.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Reliability

The connectors feature gold-flashed contacts. This helps maintain a stable connection over time. It also resists corrosion better than bare metal. So, you get consistent signal integrity for daily use. The black PVC jacket and hoods offer basic durability and a discreet look.

HDMI Ethernet Channel and Audio Return

The cable supports the HDMI Ethernet Channel. This allows compatible devices to share network data over a single lead. It also supports Audio Return Channel (ARC). ARC can simplify audio setups by sending TV audio back to a soundbar. Confirm your devices support these features to use them.
