A half-metre HDMI 2.0 cable that carries 4K at 60Hz video and audio between devices stacked close together, such as a splitter feeding a nearby screen or a console going into a capture card.
It is tested before every rental, so it just works on the day.
This is a 0.5-metre HDMI cable built to the HDMI 2.0 standard, with full-size HDMI Type-A male plugs on both ends.
It is shielded with gold-plated contacts and carries picture and sound on one cable, so you do not need a separate audio lead.
With up to 18 Gbps of bandwidth it handles 4K Ultra HD video at 60Hz, along with the deep colour and HDR headroom that HDMI 2.0 allows, provided both the source and the display support HDMI 2.0.
What sets this one apart is the very short half-metre length.
Where a 1-metre or longer cable coils up and adds clutter, this short run is made for the neat, close hops inside a rack, podium kit or AV flight case, where the source and the display sit only centimetres apart.
Think of a splitter output going to a monitor on the same rack, a games console plugged into a capture card, or a media player mounted behind a TV.
It is a passive copper cable with no drivers and no external power to worry about, so you plug it in and it works. It is backward compatible, so it still runs at 1080p or 4K at 30Hz if one end is an older HDMI device.
