Description
This AV:Link HDMI lead (or HDMI cable, as it's often called) is built for high speed data transmission and works well for connecting 4K UltraHD sources to your TV or display. It carries video up to 3840 x 2160p at 60Hz, so you get the full resolution from a compatible Blu-ray player, games console or media streamer. The plug to plug design means both ends use a standard full-size HDMI connector, ready to slot straight into most home cinema kit.
The connectors are gold plated, which helps keep a reliable signal over the 3.0 metre length. Alongside 4K video, the lead handles Ethernet and audio return, so a single cable can send sound back from your TV to a soundbar or amplifier without needing a separate audio run. It also supports 3D content, and audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Lossless are carried in full, giving you the higher quality sound tracks found on many discs.
Built to the HDMI 2.0 standard and HDCP 2.2 compliant, this lead is compatible with protected 4K content, so you won't run into playback problems with newer sources. It arrives in a sealed, retail friendly bag. The 3.0m length suits most setups where the source sits a short distance from the screen, whether that's a console under the telly or an AV receiver in a nearby cabinet. If you need a straightforward HDMI lead that covers 4K, Ethernet and lossless audio in one cable, this one does the job.
