StarTech.com HDMI 2.0, 2m Male HDMI to Male HDMIPremium High Speed 4K @ 60Hz

This 2m StarTech cable is perfect for reliable high-quality connections. Using the HDMI connector to plug in to a computer for presentations or a Blu-ray player for a film night, display images, video, and audio on your HDTV or monitor. The HDMI cable is ethernet ready and features Kevlar, aluminium-mylar foil with braided shielding, and a TPE jacket make it an incredibly long-lasting adapter for any environment.

With the cable being 2m in length, you can easily install the cable with minimal clutter. For busy users, simply slip this into your laptop bag or carry case for use at meetings. It's truly plug-and-play with no set up required.

Being a StarTech.com product, users can buy with confidence that the materials are of the highest standard and durability for performance you can depend on. For first-class protection with greater cable flex, the designers have added a braided Aluminium-Mylar Foil shield and made the jacket from softer and more flexible TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).

Even better, the adapter sports a gold-plated shield to surround the circuit board in the HDMI connectors for further protection. Not only does it maintain optimum connectivity and strengthens the connection point, but it also prevents corrosion to maintain the high-standard connection over time. This shield incorporates integrated protection against electromagnetic interference to allow devices to perform tasks without interference.

This solid construction can withstand over 10,000 bend cycles at a 180-degree angle, creating superb strain relief over a long period.

This HDMI cable is reinforced with Kevlar aramid fibre to further protect it from the constant bending and twisting of daily use. This allows the adapter to flex without overstretching.

Aramid fibre also provides superb heat resistance capabilities and offers extra durability for the cable. With all the conductors insulated, the reduction in friction enhances the flexibility without damaging or over-stretching the wires inside.

With the very best protection in place, users won’t need to worry about replacing the cable anytime soon. For climate conscious customers, this reduces landfill as you’re not replacing cables as often.

Does not require any external software to be downloaded to use it. Simply plug in the adapter and play.

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface and works by using TDMS (transition-minimized differential signalling). TDMS encodes the signal being transmitted, which protects information from degrading as it travels along the cable from one place to another. One of the many wires carries the signal itself and another wire carries the inverse. Once the signals have reached the TV, the TV decodes the signal. Then, using the difference between the original signal and the inverse, the TV compensates for any loss of information that may have happened along the way.

An HDMI cable that incorporates ethernet is exactly that. The high-speed HDMI cable combines this feature into its structure, allowing the user to only need one wire instead of two separate wires, as the two data streams have been integrated together.

There are many versions of HDMI since it was commercially launched in 2003. Each revision normally adds support for specific devices and includes new features. For example, the very first version (1.0) could transfer data at 4.95Gbps, while the newer (2.0) iteration can transfer data up to 18Gbps. This, amongst other features.
