Description

Ricable Hi-End HDMI 2.0b (0.5 m) is a short HDMI cable for digital video and audio connections. It is designed to connect a source and display positioned close together. According to the store’s information, the cable supports Ultra HD 4K, 3D, 4K 3D and up to 32 audio channels. Its 0.5 m length helps avoid leaving unnecessary cable behind the equipment.

When to choose a 0.5 m cable

Choose this version when there is only a short distance between the HDMI ports. It is suitable for connecting a source, television, projector or AV equipment placed in the same cabinet. Before ordering, measure the cable’s entire route between the ports. Allow some extra room for bends and for pulling the equipment out.

The 10.5 mm outer diameter and solid-core construction require enough space for routing. Do not bend the cable sharply immediately behind a connector. The connectors should not be subjected to continuous pulling force from the cable.

Video and audio transmission

According to the store’s information, bandwidth of more than 27 Gb/s supports the cable’s stated 4K, 3D and multi-stream modes, while the specified clock rate is 870 MHz. Native 21:9 format support is relevant when using equipment capable of displaying that aspect ratio.

The cable carries up to 32 audio channels and supports multi-stream audio and video. The final available format always depends on the capabilities of both connected devices. According to the store’s information, backward compatibility with HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 technologies is maintained. In such installations, the system operates according to the capabilities shared by the connected equipment.

ARC and Ethernet channel

Audio Return Channel (ARC) allows a compatible HDMI connection to return television audio to an AV receiver. Use the ARC-labelled ports on both devices. ARC may also need to be enabled in the television and receiver settings. eARC support is not included in this model’s specifications.

HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) can carry network data between HEC-compatible devices. This feature works only when it is supported at both ends of the connection. The cable itself does not create an internet connection or replace networking equipment.

Conductors and shielding

The 24 AWG solid-core conductors are made from 99.999% pure oxygen-free copper. The conductors are arranged in twisted pairs. Mylar and aluminium are used for internal shielding, while the outer shield consists of a braided layer of tinned oxygen-free copper.

High-density polyethylene separates the conductors as the dielectric material, and the cable has a cotton outer covering. The connector contacts are plated with 24-carat gold.

FAQ

How can I tell whether 0.5 m will be long enough?

Measure the actual cable route between both HDMI ports. Account for furniture edges, bends and the space needed to pull out the equipment. The cable must not be under tension.

Does this cable support eARC?

The store’s information specifies ARC only. eARC support is not stated and therefore should not be considered confirmed.

Is this cable suitable for 4K video?

According to the store’s information, Ultra HD 4K and 4K 3D transmission are supported. Both the source and the display must support the selected mode.

Can it connect older HDMI equipment?

According to the store’s information, compatibility with HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 technologies is provided. The available connection modes will then be limited by the capabilities of the older connected device.

Can the cable be bent sharply behind a television?

Avoid sharp bends because the cable has a 10.5 mm diameter and solid-core conductors. Leave a loose curve near the connector.

How can I check HEC compatibility before buying?

Consult the documentation for both devices and confirm that each end of the connection supports HEC. The cable itself does not create an internet connection.
