About this deal

Optical: Though a similar technology to the old-school audio interface, HDMI-over-optical is capable of far greater bandwidth. It's also capable of far greater distances. It's easy to find options that are over 330 feet. Prices have dropped radically in the last few years, with options available for similar prices per-foot as traditional copper cables. Most don't even need external power. They work and look just like a thin HDMI cable. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are used to transmit both audio and video signals from an HDMI-compatible device to a monitor or television. The HDMI 2.0 specification marked its debut in 2013. It was revised to HDMI 2.0a in 2015 and then HDMI 2.0b in 2016. This specification increased the maximum bandwidth of HDMI cables from 10.2Gbps to 18Gbps. It also expanded support to 4K video at 60 frames per second with all the forms of high dynamic range (HDR) and laid the groundwork for 8K.

The HDMI Forum released the HDMI 2.1a specification in January 2021; it's a fairly minor update to HDMI 2.1, with even more emphasis on future-proofing. It supports up to 10K resolution, as well as dynamic HDR for 4K120 and 8K60 video. It could be useful for video editing and mastering, but consumer media doesn't yet come close to pushing its boundaries. Beware products that draw power from the +5V power line. Although these may work in certain applications, different components draw varying amount of power from that line to communicate with each other. A cable that draws power from the HDMI cable may fail when components and the active components in the cable or external booster are all drawing from the same source."With that in mind, we have some recommendations for inexpensive options that should work with any TV and source combination you have... as long as they connect with HDMI. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of cables, converters and adapters you’re sure to find everything you need here at Lindy Electronics. The HDMI 1.4 specification was released over 10 years ago and all HDMI cables are manufactured to at least that specification. HDMI 1.4 was developed to accommodate 4K content and provide enough bandwidth to handle 4K video at up to 24 frames per second. Later, it evolved to HDMI 1.4a and HDMI 1.4b—but this is all ancient history in the video space.

As long as that pipe is "big" enough, which is to say it has enough bandwidth, you should be good to go. The 18Gbps bandwidthmentioned above came about with the HDMI 2.0 spec, so if a cable claims it, it's likely built to handle the additional data that HDMI 2.0 connections can provide. The new Ultra High Speed cables are capable of 48Gbps, but that's far beyond what any current source can send. My problem is that I'm space constrained (well, depth constrained, actually) with regard to the receiver, so I'm looking for a flexible cable with a short plug. For my other gear I've been using these 2 metre ultra slim cables from HomeTheater. Sadly, not only are they no longer available, but I never managed to find one at 3 metres. Also, once the cable has been laid I won't have easy access to it, so I need it to just work and keep doing so.Your post reads as though you say they are certified, they are not. They are not within HDMI spec and no active cable without its own PSU ever would be. Keep in mind there's no such thing as HDMI cable "versions." As in, there's no such thing as an "HDMI 2.0" cable. The version numbers refer to the physical connections in your TV, receiver or sound bar. So your TV and 4K Blu-ray player need to both have HDMI 2.0 to watch HDR content, but the cable connecting them couldn't care less. It's just a dumb pipe. It also includes other features such as automatic switching between audio formats, improved video streaming, and reduced cable clutter. To sum it all up my questions are: Would it be wise to go for a RedMere enabled active cable or would a passive 3 metre cable suffice or even be preferable? If RedMere is the way to go, would it not be wisest to go with the cable from inakustik using the latest chip (which, of course, also is the most expensive one)?
