FAQ
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate this cable supports?
This active HDMI 2.0 cable supports up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) at 60Hz, 1440p at 144Hz, and 1080p at 240Hz. It delivers full 18 Gbps bandwidth to handle high-resolution, high-refresh-rate content for gaming, video production, and home theater applications without compression or signal degradation.
How does the active design benefit performance over long distances?
The integrated active chipset amplifies the signal to maintain integrity across the 50-foot length, ensuring consistent 4K 60Hz and high refresh rates that passive cables cannot reliably achieve at this distance. This makes it suitable for installations where sources and displays are far apart, such as in large rooms or commercial settings.
What are the gripping connectors, and why are they useful?
The gripping connectors feature a design that secures the cable firmly into HDMI ports, preventing accidental disconnection due to tension, vibration, or movement. This is especially valuable for mounted displays, rack-mounted equipment, or hard-to-access ports where a loose connection could disrupt audio/video signals.
Is this cable compatible with HDR and HDCP 2.2 content?
Yes, it fully supports HDR10 for high dynamic range video and HDCP 2.2 for protected 4K content streaming from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and 4K Blu-ray players. This ensures compatibility with modern entertainment systems and copy-protected media without handshake issues.
