About this deal

HDMI cables come in various versions, such as 1.4, 2.0, and 2.1, with each subsequent version supporting higher bandwidths and better capabilities. For 4K content, it’s generally recommended to use HDMI 2.0 or higher, as these versions support the bandwidth requirements for 4K. For lengths exceeding 25 meters and with conduit cable space restrictions we recommend either of the following products HDMI Extender over CAT6 Some sources / players do not produce an equalized HDMI signal and for coupling or extending HDMI Cable lengths beyond 15 meters we recommend that a HDMI Active Equalizer Extender / Repeater be used rather than a HDMI Coupler. Therefore, it’s crucial to weigh these risks and limitations carefully when planning any long cable runs for your AV setup. Conclusion

It’s worth noting that while older HDMI cables might technically transmit 4K content, they might not provide the optimum frame rate or additional features like HDR (High Dynamic Range). But for a rough estimate, as you scale up the resolution to near 4K, the maximum length limit for HDMI cable transmitting a 4K signal is generally around 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet). In short, shorter length tends to give better results. It is also important to note that some devices have just one HDMI input, while others have more. So, whether you’re plugging your devices into a TV or receiver, it is important to have enough inputs to comfortably accommodate all your devices.These days most devices that are in the market support HDMI to give you a superior visual experience. And all though they may come with HDMI inputs and outputs, some of them may not provide HDMI cables as a part of the product. So, in case you have to buy them separately, simply do so online. This heavy-duty and tangle-free cable can endure years of physical pressure and intensive use while also retaining the digital signal’s quality and performance. The original Standard or Category 1 cables were certified to handle 1080i or 720p video. The later High Speed or Category 2 cables took the bandwidth up from 4.95Gbit/sec to 10.2Gbit/sec, which meant they could transport 1080p video at 60 frames per second or 60Hz, or 4K video at 30fps or 30Hz. Category 3 or HDMI Premium cable reaches 18Gbits/sec and supports 4K video at 60Hz, while the highest spec Category 3 (8K) or Ultra cable can do 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz.

With HDMI 2.0, 4K content can be transmitted at 60 frames per second, which requires higher bandwidth. Standard copper HDMI cables with this specification can typically maintain a quality signal for lengths up to 15 meters (approximately 49 feet). Beyond this, you may need to look into active copper cables or even fiber-optic solutions to maintain signal quality.
