Product Comparison

1. What is the difference between Ultra Slim HDMI 2.0 and Standard HDMI 2.0 cables?
Ultra Slim HDMI 2.0 cables use thinner gauge wires and a more compact, flexible jacket (as slim as 3.6mm), making them ideal for wall-mounted TVs, tight spaces, and portable setups. Standard HDMI 2.0 cables are thicker, less flexible, and may offer slightly better shielding in long-distance installations. If you value minimal cable footprint, the ultra slim high speed HDMI 2.0 cable is a better fit.

2. What is the difference between HDMI A to A, HDMI A to C (Mini HDMI), and HDMI A to D (Micro HDMI)?
HDMI A to A is used for TVs, monitors, and consoles. HDMI A to C (Mini) is typically used in DSLR cameras and tablets. HDMI A to D (Micro) is often found in GoPro cameras or mobile devices. We offer ultra slim HDMI A to A and A to D cables for compact, portable applications.

Compatibility & Use Cases

3. What conductor material is used in your Ultra Slim HDMI 2.0 cables?
Our Ultra Slim HDMI 2.0 cables use tinned copper conductors, providing excellent transmission performance. Combined with the slimmer cable structure, Ultra Slim HDMI cables are more difficult to manufacture, which is why they are generally more expensive than standard HDMI 2.0.

8. What is the maximum cable length before signal degradation?
1–2 meters use 34AWG bare copper and support full 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. But 3 meters  can only support 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 due to signal attenuation.

9. What is the difference between 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and 4K@60Hz 4:2:0?
4:4:4 chroma subsampling delivers uncompressed color data, providing maximum image sharpness—ideal for PC monitors or text-heavy displays.
4:2:0 compresses color information, which reduces bandwidth and image quality but is acceptable for video playback and casual viewing. Cables with full 18Gbps bandwidth are required for 4:4:4.
