Frequently asked questions and answers about 4K HDMI cables
Are HDMI cables backward compatible?
Yes, they are. An HDMI 2.1 cable can also be plugged into a socket with HDMI 1.4. However, the transmission speed is always reduced to the older generation. This means that if your HDMI 2.1 cable can theoretically reach up to 48 Gbit/s, the audio and video signals will only reach the television at a transfer rate of 10.2 Gbit/s. The same applies to the resolution and refresh rate. In this case it drops to 4K with up to 30 Hz.
Which HDMI cable do I need for long distances?
If you have to bridge a long distance between the playback device and the receiver, for example 15 meters, a special HDMI cable is advisable. For such requirements, it is preferable to use HDMI fiber optic cables. Although these are significantly more expensive, they offer loss-free data transmission even over long distances. Furthermore, such HDMI cables are more stable and offer a higher bending radius for easy laying of the connection.
