    If only I had 8k hardware and tv

  • mckayver on 17/08/2020 - 12:38

    Better snap one up to use in about 5 years.

    From one of my usual rants:

    The HDMI Forum (the group who regulates all this stuff) states:

    You cannot use version numbers by themselves to define your product or component capabilities or the functionality of the HDMI interface.
    And please note that NO use of version numbers is allowed in the labeling, packaging, or promotion of any cable product.

    As of now, there are no ultra premium certified HDMI cables out there. Maybe someone has one somewhere, but it will be rare, and it certainly won't be a cheapy import. Lots of premium certified cables, but that's for the 2.0b spec.

    Now, this particular cable may well pass 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz. I can guarantee though that there are 0.0001% of Ozbargainers that have equipment that would use it. In other words, unless you have an 8K TV and the bandwidth to stream one of the few 8K videos from YT, then you are not part of that 0.0001% and any regular HDMI cable will do. Until then, wait until you have both a source and sink that can send and receive 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz and then look for a genuine ultra premium certified cable.

    TL;DR: the cable may well be fine, but the description is misleading and non-compliant.

      FFS how is that consumer friendly?

      • Astronaut Joe on 17/08/2020 - 16:23

        That's why they use the certification process.Virtually all currently sold HDMI cables will work just fine in a 4K setup, so when someone comes along and builds a cable to the 2.1 spec and calls it a "4K cable", how is that clear to the consumer? If someone gets a new 4K TV, do they need to buy "HDR" cables? Because that's what this advertising suggests.
        The certification process is a bit like the octane rating for petrol; if you buy 95 then you know that it will meet that minimum standard. If the carmaker says you should use 95, then you can buy 95, and don't need to think any further.

        • twig on 18/08/2020 - 17:22

          Interesting. I shall forward to getting a hdmi 2.1 setup running on an old cable.

          Will thank you for saving me money when that happens

      You are right. The only thing that would make it compliant (or not) is its electrical conductivity: if it is high enough, it will enable sufficient bandwidth for HDMI 2.1 to work. If the electrical conductivity is not high enough, it will not reach the required bandwidth (the worse the copper, the worse the bandwidth; ask anyone on FttN). And the electrical conductivity is dependent on the gauge (thickness) of the copper as expressed by the standard rating of AWG and the length (and to a degree on how well the cable is connected to the plug). For a 3m cable, it would have to be even thicker than a 1.8m cable. Neither this post nor the product page make mention of the AWG of the cable, so you would have to take their word for it that it's thick enough (which I won't).

      • DmytroP on 17/08/2020 - 14:59

        I'm not expert, but I'm pretty sure the conductivity is not the only (and probably not even the main) factor in the data cable, I'd expect would be more important to reduce interference/crosstalk. AWG would be much more important for charging cables.

        • Make it so on 17/08/2020 - 15:37

          True, shielding to stop interference is also very important. But the longer a cable, the more attenuation, and thus you will struggle to get a reliable high-speed signal across. And if you are passing through a receiver, you will have more attenuation. For a short cable, conductivity is less of an issue than shielding I would imagine. But the cable in this deal is 3m, which is longer than most people require.

          • Astronaut Joe on 17/08/2020 - 16:13

            @Make it so: The main difference with the higher rated cables is their interference rejection so they can pour the higher date rate through. Remember all HDMI cables have exactly the same pinouts. Your cheapy cable bought seven years ago could potentially work just fine.
