Ricable Hi-End HDMI 2.0b (5 m) Cable
82,00 €
Ricable Hi-End HDMI 2.0b (5 m) is an HDMI cable for connecting video and audio equipment across a five-metre run. It supports 4K, 3D, ARC, HEC and up to 32 audio channels. Its 24 AWG solid-core oxygen-free copper conductors have internal and external shielding. Consider the 10.5 mm diameter when routing the cable through furniture or conduits.
Ricable Hi-End HDMI cable, identified as the 2.0b model, is a 5 m cable for connecting video and audio equipment. It supports Ultra HD 4K, 3D and 4K 3D video. This length is suitable when equipment is positioned farther from the display or the cable needs to be concealed.
The cable can carry up to 32 audio channels and lossless audio signals. It also supports the native 21:9 aspect ratio and simultaneous transmission of multiple audio and video streams. Its stated bandwidth exceeds 27 Gbit/s, with a clock frequency of 870 MHz.
Video, audio and network functions
Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends sound from a television back to a compatible AV device through the same HDMI connection. Both connected devices must support ARC.
HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) can carry a network connection between HDMI devices that support this function, removing the need for a separate network cable between those particular devices. HEC will not work if either device lacks support.
Backward compatibility covers HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.4 technologies as well as earlier-generation standards. The weakest component in the complete HDMI signal chain will always determine the available video format and functions.
Conductors and shielding
The conductors are made from 99.999% pure oxygen-free copper (OFC). Each 24 AWG conductor has a solid-core construction.
External shielding consists of a tinned oxygen-free copper braid, while Mylar film and aluminium provide internal shielding. Interference suppression is also incorporated into the connectors.
The dielectric insulation is made from high-density polyethylene. A cotton material protects the cable externally, and the connector contacts are plated with 24-carat gold.
Routing and connection
The cable has an outer diameter of 10.5 mm, so check the width of conduits and openings before installation. Avoid forming sharp bends in the solid-core conductors, and leave enough space behind the equipment for the cable to curve naturally.
Assess the five-metre length using the complete routing path rather than the straight-line distance between devices. Include vertical sections, furniture depth and sufficient slack near the connectors. Never remove a plug by pulling on the cable itself.

FAQ
When should I choose a five-metre cable?
Choose this length when a shorter cable cannot cover the complete routing path. Add some extra length to the measured distance to allow for gentle, unrestricted bends.
Is the cable suitable for older HDMI equipment?
Yes. HDMI 1.3, HDMI 1.4 and earlier-generation technologies are supported. The older device in the signal chain will limit the available video and audio capabilities.
How do I use Audio Return Channel?
Connect the cable to the ARC-labelled ports on both devices. Then enable the relevant audio settings on the television and AV equipment.
Will the HEC function always provide a network connection?
No. Both connected devices must support the Ethernet channel. The cable alone is not sufficient if the equipment does not include HEC functionality.
What should I consider when concealing the cable?
Allow enough space for the 10.5 mm diameter and for the connectors to pass through. Avoid sharp corners, excessive tension and crushing the cable.
