spec says 48 Gbps and I have a few from a previous deal. I think I used one of these for 4k @ 144Hz to connect my PC to TV.

They don't list version on newer rated cables. They just put 'High Speed' as an alternative.
"High Speed" has specific meanings on HDMI cables. You want "Ultra High Speed" for 48Gbps, plain "High Speed" doesn't have that bandwidth.
Agree, but I didn't want to get caught up in the specs for each description, just that the version is not listed lately.
8K support and 48Gbps, I’d say it is infact HDMI 2.1.
HDMI 2.1 (and the like) refer to the spec of the protocol, and have nothing to do with cables, despite how manufacturers incorrectly label them. All cables since the beginning of HDMI have exactly the same data pins, the only difference is what data bandwidth the construction of the cable allows it to carry, and has been verified to be able to carry. Hence the Standard, High Speed, Premium High Speed, and Ultra High Speed monikers that are used to specify how much data a cable has been rated to be cable of transmitting - but this is completely independent and irrelevant to the HDMI protocol version.
For example, I have a cable that I bought way back when in the days of HDMI 1.0 and 1.1. And it works perfectly fine to connect my UHD player and 4k TV. Why? Because it was well-built and therefore still capbable of pushing through the amount of data today's devices demand.

What does ethernet mean?
HDMI cables can carry Ethernet, it just was never put into practice. eARC uses the bandwidth reserved for Ethernet these days.
‘Ethernet’ is the term used to indicate networking. The (often blue) cables with RJ-45 plugs that you use to connect your computer to a modem or a network port are Ethernet. As said above, the HDMI spec can also carry Ethernet signals but it wasn’t widely adopted.
I wonder how you would even use these as ethernet? Plug an ethernet into the tv and then all the connected devices over HDMI get internet?
Yea more or less this was the idea. Your TV would act as the 'hub', and then all connected devices would be able to get network access.
A lot of people were probably still running 802.11g WiFi when the HDMI Standard was introduced, running ethernet was still really the only option for any semi-serious data transfers (especially media). Now with the speed and low cost of wifi modems, it's not a problem anymore (if it even was to begin with).
Finally a use for my free $5 good guys voucher from snackback from October 2023 lol
Thanks for reminding me I have that voucher. Now to find what I can get for $5 other than this HDMI cable.
How do you still remember lol, I sometimes even forget $20 GC from cashback deals
Unless its a $100 Monster "Gold Tip" HDMI, i don't trust it.
Ayoe
"This cable is designed to deliver bandwidth up to 48Gbps and supports 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz/60Hz and 1080p@60Hz. This cable is engineered to work with modern TVs and gaming consoles, but it's also backwards compatible with older style HDMI devices."

How much is it normally?
Not sure about this exact one, but I was looking for 8K cables recently to enable VRR on my PS5 and the were $50+
Then you were looking in the wrong place, my friend.
You can get a 2m certified hdmi 2.1 for about $16 any day of the week.
Sure, if you want cheap quality. Anyone who is serious about 4K and beyond won't touch the budget stuff. At least Crest brand is well known.
Usual price is $10, I picked this up in store earlier and that was the old listed price in store
Limit 3 per customer online, but I purchased 8 in-store last week. Did some comparisons with a $90 Monster HDMI Cable - Can't tell the difference at all.
I bought 2 online to pick up at TGG Osborne Park and they've just called to say that they don't have them and there are none in WA. Disappointed.
Just pay the extra $3 for delivery
That’s weird. Especially since I just bought 3 in Busselton and they have a whole bin full of them…
Guy from Ozzie park is obviously talking sh1te then.
I'm not surprised.
Went to the same store. System is reflecting a few in stock but can't find them in store. Ordered for delivery. Cheers
HDMI2.1?
