How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Maximum capability is not a guarantee for every setup.
- Rated: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz.
- Published capacity: Up to 48Gbps.
- The source, display and selected ports must all support the requested mode.
- Receivers, switches, splitters, capture devices, docks, adapters, wall plates and extra cables may lower the result.
Audio and feature support
What the cable can carry
HDR signalling. The cable can transport the listed signal only when the source, content and receiving equipment support it.
eARC. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
Dolby Atmos pass-through. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
DTS:X pass-through. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
HDCP 2.3/2.2 compatibility. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
3D. This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
A cable does not decode Dolby or DTS audio, create HDR, generate extra frames or add ARC/eARC to an ordinary HDMI port. Those functions come from compatible devices, content and settings.
Construction and routing
Model guidance
Passive cable build. HD175 passive copper cable with full-size HDMI plugs, flexible black PVC cable body and reinforced connector housings.
- Non-directional; either plug may face the source
- Plan gentle bends and protect the connector housings from pulling force.
- Do not infer an in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating unless it is printed on the supplied cable.
- Test the intended mode before any route becomes difficult to access.
Use scenarios
Practical examples
Home entertainment. Console or gaming PC to a television across a media unit
Work and presentation. AV receiver to a TV or projector over a 5m route
Gaming and media. Blu-ray or streaming player to a display
Audio or convenient routing. TV eARC port to a compatible soundbar or receiver
Setup and usability guidance
Connect • configure • verify
After setup, open the television or monitor signal-information page. It is the quickest way to confirm the actual resolution, refresh rate and HDR state received by the display.
- Step 1: Measure the actual cable path, including bends and service slack.
- Step 2: Connect either end to the source because the passive cable is non-directional.
- Step 3: Use the correct enhanced/high-bandwidth HDMI ports on both devices.
- Step 4: Select the requested mode and verify the display reports it before securing the cable.
- Step 5: For eARC, use ports labelled eARC and enable the required CEC/audio settings.
Compatible devices and systems
Model guidance
Match the connector and the port capability.
Operating systems normally need no cable driver. A computer may still require the correct graphics driver and display settings, while a USB-C-only device needs a separate video-capable adapter or dock.
- PS5, Xbox Series consoles and other full-size HDMI sources
- PC graphics cards and laptops with compatible HDMI output
- TVs, monitors and projectors with full-size HDMI input
- Compatible soundbars and AV receivers
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The required physical route really suits 5m, with enough slack but no tight coil or tension.
- Both connector ends match the intended ports: Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A male.
- The requested mode stays within the rated specification: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz.
- Every adapter, receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate or extra cable in the path supports the same video, HDCP and audio requirements.
- A concealed route does not require a safety rating that has not been for this cable.

What to do
Care and installation practice
- Check this SKU and length on the order and received package before installation.
- Hold the connector housing—not the cable body—when plugging or unplugging.
- Test the intended video and audio mode with a direct connection before adding other devices.
- Leave a relaxed curve and support the cable so the HDMI socket carries no weight.
- Do not force a misaligned HDMI plug or pull a connector out by the cable.
- Do not sharply kink, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or expose the cable to heat or moisture.
- Do not assume the cable upgrades the HDMI capability of a source, display, adapter or receiver.
- Do not conceal the cable in a wall or ceiling without verifying its printed rating and local installation rules.

Which devices can I connect?
Use it with compatible full-size HDMI equipment such as PS5, Xbox Series consoles and other full-size HDMI sources; PC graphics cards and laptops with compatible HDMI output; TVs, monitors and projectors with full-size HDMI input.
What determines the actual picture mode?
The lowest-capability source, port, display, content format, setting and intermediate device controls the final mode.
Can I use it with a console?
Yes, when the console, game and display support the selected mode. The cable cannot make a console output an unsupported refresh rate.
Can I route it inside a wall or ceiling?
No concealed-installation rating is claimed here. Check the physical cable marking and local requirements before any in-wall or ceiling route.
What should I check if there is no picture?
Reseat both ends, select the correct input, try a direct connection, lower the mode and verify every device and setting in the chain.
