Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMITM cable and a
Recently, HDMITM Licensing, LLC announced that cables would be tested as Standard or
․Standard (or “category 1”) HDMITM cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.
․High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMITM cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidth currently available over an HDMITM cable and can successfully handle 1080p signals including those at increased color depths and/or increased refresh rates from the Source.
Q.How do I run HDMITM cables longer than 10 meters?
There are many HDMITM Adopters working on HDMITM solutions that extend a cable’s effective distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies manufacture a variety of solutions that include active cables (active electronics built into cables that boost and extend the cable’s signal), repeaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and fiber solutions.
Q.How can I tell if a cable is an HDMITM certified cable?
All HDMITM products are required to be certified by the manufacturer as part of the HDMITM Compliance Test Specification. However, there may be instances where cables bearing the HDMITM logo are available but have not been properly tested. HDMITM Licensing, LLC actively investigates these instances to ensure that the HDMITM trademark is properly used in the market. We recommend that consumers buy their cables from a reputable source and a company that is trusted.
