Microconnect 8K HDMI cable 0.5m

The MicroConnect HDMI Cable 8K 0.5m is a high-speed HDMI 2.1 cable designed for reliable connection between modern AV devices. It supports up to 8K (7680 x 4320) at 60 Hz and a data bandwidth of 48 Gbit/s, is backwards compatible with earlier HDMI versions, and includes gold-plated contacts and standard HDMI Type A male connectors on both ends. The cable length is 0.5 m and the colour is black.

Advantages

This HDMI cable delivers high data transfer rates (48 Gbit/s) and supports advanced features such as Dynamic HDR, enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) and 3D. Gold-plated contacts improve signal reliability and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is suitable for close device connections while maintaining HDMI 2.1 performance and backwards compatibility with older HDMI devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting TVs, monitors or projectors to set-top boxes and media players

• Short-run connections behind entertainment units or desktop setups
• Audio systems using eARC for higher-quality returned audio

How to use

Plug each HDMI Type A male connector into the HDMI ports of the source device (for example a gaming console, Blu-ray player or PC) and the display device (TV, monitor or projector). Ensure both devices are powered on and select the corresponding HDMI input on the display. For audio return features, enable eARC/ARC in the device settings if supported by both connected devices.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate for short runs (0.5 m) to minimise signal loss. Verify that connected devices support HDMI 2.1 features to utilise full 48 Gbit/s bandwidth, Dynamic HDR and eARC. Avoid sharp bends and protect connectors from dust when not in use.
