Van Damme ACTIVE series, 10 m 4K HDMI Cable, - Male HDMI to Male HDMI, High Speed


HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI cables are a type of long or short cable commonly used to transmit audio and video signals between devices. These signals are then transferred between HDMI-compatible devices such as computer monitors, video projectors, TVs, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and digital audio devices.

[HDMI cables](https://au.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/hdmi-cable-guide) use a compact and user-friendly [HDMI connector](https://au.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/hdmi-connectors-guide) that has become the standard interface for digital audio and video connections. The HDMI cord consists of multiple twisted pairs of copper wires, which are shielded to minimize interference and ensure reliable signal transmission.

## **Types of HDMI Cables**

There are several different types or categories of HDMI cables, which are classified based on their capabilities and specifications

### **Standard HDMI**

These cables are also known as Category 1 HDMI cables. They support video resolutions up to 1080i or 720p and are suitable for connecting most consumer devices like TVs, DVD players, and game consoles. However, they do not support higher resolutions like 4K or advanced features like 3D or Ethernet connectivity.

### **High-Speed HDMI**

This HDMI cable, also known as Category 2 HDMI, is designed to support a high-quality 1080P resolution and above. This includes supporting 4K and even 8K Ultra HD resolutions and 3D movies. The high-speed cable supports these advances in display and audio as well as deeper colour functionality. High speed HDMI cables are recommended for use in advanced technologies such as 4K TVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles.

### **Premium High-Speed HDMI**

These cables are an enhanced version of High-Speed HDMI cables and are certified by the HDMI Licensing Administrator (HDMI LA). Premium High-Speed HDMI cables provide the same capabilities as High-Speed HDMI cables but offer improved performance and reliability for longer cable runs and higher resolutions.

### **Ultra High-Speed**

HDMI: Introduced with the HDMI 2.1 specification, Ultra-High-Speed HDMI cables are designed to support the most advanced video and audio technologies. They have significantly higher bandwidth and can handle resolutions up to 10K, high frame rates, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). Ultra High-Speed HDMI cables are suitable for demanding applications like gaming, home theatre setups, and professional installations.

## **Industrial Applications of HDMI Cable**

HDMI cables are integral to various industrial applications in Australia, offering high-quality digital video and audio transmission. Here are some key uses:

- **Broadcasting and media production:** Utilized in studios and OB vans for seamless 4K video feeds and live event broadcasting.
- **Control rooms and security systems:** Connect surveillance equipment and control panels, ensuring real-time monitoring with minimal latency.
- **Medical imaging:** HDMI cables help transmit high-resolution images from medical devices to monitors, aiding in diagnostics and surgeries.
- **Military and aerospace:** Employed in mission-critical environments, such as space missions and defense systems, due to their reliability.
- **Education and training:** HDMI cables are commonly used in classrooms and training centers to connect projectors and interactive displays, thereby enhancing the learning experience.
- **Retail and digital signage:** Drive high-definition displays for advertising and information dissemination in public spaces.
- **Industrial automation:** Link control systems and monitoring equipment to facilitate efficient manufacturing processes.

## **How to Choose the Right HDMI Cable?**

Choosing the right HDMI cable or cord is essential to ensure reliable performance, optimal video/audio quality, and long-term durability. Here's what to consider:

- **Determine device compatibility:** Ensure the HDMI cable matches your device's HDMI version (e.g., HDMI 2.0 for 4K, HDMI 2.1 for 8K) to support desired resolutions and features.
- **Assess bandwidth requirements:** Select an HDMI cable with sufficient bandwidth: Standard (4.95 Gbps) for 1080p, High-Speed (18 Gbps) for 4K, and Ultra High-Speed (48 Gbps) for 8K or high-refresh-rate gaming.
- **Consider cable length:** Keep cable length under 10 feet to avoid signal degradation; for longer distances, opt for active HDMI cables with built-in signal boosters.
- **Check certification:** Look for HDMI certification labels to ensure the cable meets performance standards.
- **Evaluate build quality:** Choose the right [type of cable](https://au.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/guide-to-cables-and-wire) with gold-plated connectors and robust shielding to enhance durability and minimize interference.
- **Match to use case:** For gaming or home theater setups, prioritize cables that support high resolutions, refresh rates, and audio formats to ensure optimal performance.
