Description
This AV:Link thin-wire HDMI lead (also called an HDMI cable in the US) is built for tight spaces. The slim, flexible cable routes easily to the back of a wall mounted TV or monitor, and the low profile gold plated connectors sit around 40% shorter than those on a conventional HDMI lead. That extra clearance makes a real difference when there isn't much room behind a bracket or against a wall.
It's a high speed HDMI 2.0 lead ready for 4K Ultra HD video, handling resolutions up to 3840 x 2160p at 60Hz on this 3.0m version. You also get Ethernet, audio return channel and 3D support, so it covers the common needs of modern TVs, soundbars and games consoles. The cable ships in a sealed retail bag, so it stays clean and protected until you fit it.
One point worth noting on the longer runs: because of the thin cable diameter, the 5m and 10m lengths are only guaranteed to work up to 1080p (Full HD), not 4K. If you need 4K at longer distances, choose a standard-gauge lead instead. For this 3.0m run, 4K at 60Hz is fully supported. The thin profile keeps things tidy without adding bulk, which suits neat installs and cable management behind flush wall mounts.
