HDMI Cables

An HDMI cable is a connection cable with HDMI connectors on both ends that carries video and audio digitally over a single cable. It is used at home, in the office and in meeting rooms to connect a television, monitor or projector to a computer, set-top box or game console. In this category, MAS-branded Eko, 4K and 8K HDMI cables are sold by the piece in lengths such as 1.5 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m and 20 m; Eko models are listed with 1080p, 4K models with HDMI 2.0 and 18 Gbps, and 8K models with HDMI 2.1 and 48 Gbps. Choose the cable according to the resolution and refresh rate supported by the source device and the display, the required HDMI version and transfer speed, and the distance between the devices. In the video chain, the lowest-spec component determines the result: an 8K cable works as 4K on a 4K television, and HDMI versions are backward compatible. As cable length increases, signal attenuation increases; for long lengths, verify from the manufacturer's data that the targeted resolution and refresh rate are supported. HDMI should not be confused with DisplayPort: although their connectors look similar, the two interfaces cannot be plugged into each other directly.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
