Stable 4K Video Support

This cable supports HDMI version 1.4, which enables video modes up to 2160p. In practice, this means it can handle high-definition content for modern TVs and projectors. However, the input does not specify the refresh rate at 2160p. So, you should confirm your display’s required refresh rate for optimal performance.

Integrated AV and Network Features

The cable includes an HDMI Ethernet channel and Audio Return Channel (ARC). Because of ARC, you can send audio from a compatible TV back to a soundbar without a separate optical cable. Also, the Ethernet channel allows compatible devices to share a network connection over the same cable. This reduces cable clutter in your entertainment centre.

Durable Connections and Build

Both connectors are HDMI Type A (Standard) with male-to-male gender. The connector contacts are gold-plated, which offers anti-corrosive properties for a reliable connection. The 30 AWG wire size balances flexibility with signal integrity for a 10-metre run. The straight form factor aids installation in tight spaces behind media units.
