4K Video Support for Modern Displays

This cable supports video modes up to 2160p. That means it can handle ultra-high-definition signals from compatible sources. In practice, this is useful for modern streaming boxes and gaming consoles. However, the actual resolution depends on your source device and display. Always verify that your equipment outputs 2160p over HDMI.

Secure Connectivity with Gold Contacts

The connectors feature gold plating on the contact points. This provides a higher quality finish and helps prevent corrosion over time. Because both ends are straight male connectors, installation is simple and stable. So, you get a reliable connection for daily use. Also, the 1 m length reduces signal loss compared to longer cables.

Built-In Ethernet and ARC Support

This cable includes HDMI Ethernet channel support. It allows compatible devices to share an internet connection over a single cable. Additionally, the Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from a TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver. This reduces the need for separate audio cables. However, your devices must support ARC and Ethernet over HDMI for these features to work.

Compact Length for Tidy Setups

At just one metre, this cable is ideal for close-proximity connections. It helps keep entertainment centres and desktops tidy. For example, it suits a console placed near a TV or a laptop dock on a desk. In practice, measure the distance between your devices before buying. If you need more reach, a longer cable may be required.
