Vention HDMI 2.0 Cable – 1m Nylon Braided, 4K 60Hz

Description

A 1m Vention nylon braided hdmi 2.0 cable. It carries 4K at 60Hz with HDR, full-bandwidth surround sound, and it is built to survive being pulled in and out of a wall-mounted television.

⛔ What HDMI 2.0 actually does — and what it does not

HDMI 2.0 carries 18 gigabits per second. That is enough for:

• 4K (3840×2160) at 60Hz — the headline figure, and the one that matters
• 1080p at up to 240Hz
• HDR10 and Dolby Vision
• Dolby Atmos and DTS:X pass-through, and ARC back to a soundbar

⛔ It is not an 8K cable, and no hdmi 2.0 cable is. 8K needs HDMI 2.1 and 48 gigabits per second — nearly three times the bandwidth. Any listing selling an hdmi 2.0 cable as 8K is describing a different standard. If you need 8K, or 4K at 120Hz for a current console, you need a 2.1 cable instead.

That matters because 18Gbps is plenty for most people. Almost every television, streaming box, Blu-ray player and PC graphics card sold between roughly 2014 and 2020 tops out at 4K 60Hz. A 4k hdmi cable at this standard is the right part for all of them, and paying for 2.1 bandwidth a device cannot use buys nothing.

The braid is the point

This is the part the specification sheet skips. The jacket is nylon braid over the shielding, and the connector shells are metal rather than moulded plastic.

What that changes in practice: a braided hdmi cable does not develop the permanent kinks a soft PVC jacket takes on, it survives being routed through a cable tidy and pulled out again, and the metal shell takes the strain where the cable meets the plug — which is where HDMI cables fail.

Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, which matters on a cable left plugged into a television for five years in an Australian summer.

A braided hdmi cable normally costs a few dollars more than a moulded one, and that is the whole premium. There is no electrical difference — 18Gbps is 18Gbps either way — so what the extra buys is the lead still being usable in five years.

Why 1m is the length most people actually need

One metre is the shelf length. A soundbar under the television, a console or streaming box on the same unit, an AV receiver in the cabinet below — those runs are well under a metre, and a longer cable just leaves slack to coil up behind the furniture.

Shorter is also electrically better. 18Gbps over passive copper is comfortable to about 5m, and nothing is working hard at one metre, so a 4k hdmi cable at this length is the one least likely to ever show a sparkle or a dropout.

Measure before you order. If the screen is wall-mounted with the gear on the floor, 1m will not reach — that run usually wants 2m or 3m.

Why the version number suddenly matters

Until the current console generation, almost nobody bought a cable by HDMI version number. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X changed that — they want 4K at 120Hz, which needs HDMI 2.1, and their setup screens say so plainly.

The result is a lot of people checking what they already have. If the television and the source are both 4K 60Hz devices — which covers nearly everything sold before about 2020 — then an hdmi 2.0 cable is not a compromise, it is the correct part. A cable cannot create bandwidth that neither end has.

And if one end is a 2.1 device you want running at its best, no hdmi 2.0 cable will get you there.

What it plugs into

Standard HDMI Type A at both ends, male to male — the full-size connector on televisions, monitors, consoles, graphics cards, soundbars, AV receivers, streaming boxes and Blu-ray players, which is every device a 4k hdmi cable is ever asked to join.

It is a passive cable, so there is no direction. Either end into either device.

Who it suits

An hdmi 2.0 cable is the right part for:

• 4K televisions and monitors running at 60Hz
• PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, which are 4K 60Hz machines
• PCs with a 4K display at 60Hz, or a 1080p high-refresh monitor
• Soundbars and AV receivers using ARC and Atmos pass-through

Compatibility

Compatible with any device that has a full-size HDMI Type A socket, including:

• 4K televisions and monitors running at 60Hz
• PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox One X
• PCs and laptops with HDMI output, and graphics cards with HDMI 2.0
• Soundbars and AV receivers, including ARC and Dolby Atmos pass-through
• Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV and other streaming boxes
• Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray players
• Projectors, where a 1m run reaches a ceiling mount only if the source is mounted with it

⚠️ Where HDMI 2.0 is not enough. A PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or an 8K television can run at 4K 120Hz or 8K, and both of those need HDMI 2.1 at 48Gbps. This cable will still carry a picture from them at 4K 60Hz, but it cannot reach their top modes. If that is what you are after, a 2.1 cable is the part.

Backwards compatible with every earlier HDMI device — it simply runs at whatever that device supports.

Connector: HDMI Type A male at both ends. Passive, so either end goes into either device.
