Nedis High Speed HDMI-Cable w/ Ethernet

Nedis High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet 5 m: Connect HDMI devices across a five-metre run

The useful distinction here is the Ethernet channel alongside High Speed HDMI: the Nedis High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet is 5 metres long and carries video at up to 4K/60 Hz. Its maximum transfer rate is 18 Gbit/s, so it’s suited to a setup where a source and screen aren’t right beside each other and you want a single HDMI cable between them. A TV or monitor can connect to a game console, while a projector can be linked to a streaming receiver such as an Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV. Those examples come directly from the cable’s stated uses, rather than a promise that it adds features to the devices. Ethernet support is the detail to note when networking HDMI-connected equipment matters. The cable also supports Full HD 3D and Deep Color, alongside 1080p and 4K video. It’s a straightforward connection cable, but its five-metre length and network channel make it more specific than a basic HDMI lead.

Why it is useful

• Ethernet channel: The cable supports networking between connected devices. That’s useful in an HDMI setup where the network connection between equipment is part of what you need from the cable.
• Audio Return Channel: ARC support allows the cable to carry audio back through the HDMI connection. It’s a relevant feature when connecting a TV and another HDMI device in a system that uses ARC.
• HDCP support: The cable supports HDCP, a content-protection feature used with HDMI equipment. It’s one of the compatibility details specified for this lead.
• Full HD 3D and Deep Color: These display features are supported alongside standard 1080p video. That gives you the option to use the cable with compatible equipment and content that uses those formats.
• 5.5 mm diameter, black finish: The cable has a stated diameter of 5.5 mm and a black exterior. Those physical details are useful when identifying the cable or planning where it will run.

Good to know

The stated video support covers both 1080p and 4K, with the higher resolution specified at 60 Hz. The 18 Gbit/s maximum transfer rate is another useful figure when comparing HDMI cables for a display setup. These are capability figures for the cable; the connected equipment and content also need to support the formats you plan to use. The cable’s Ethernet feature, ARC, HDCP and 3D support are likewise relevant only in a setup that uses those functions.
