Cables for video, audio and data

A suitable cable is essential for connecting electronic devices correctly.

The current category contains nine products, including HDMI 2.1 cables, DisplayPort connections, USB-C video adapters, Toslink optical cables and a USB 3.0 extension.

HDMI cables

HDMI provides digital audio and video transmission between compatible devices.

It can connect:

  • televisions;
  • monitors;
  • computers;
  • consoles;
  • projectors;
  • multimedia equipment.

HDMI 2.1

The current range includes HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cables in approximately 1.5 m, 2 m and 3 m lengths.

8K HDMI

Available HDMI 2.1 products are described as supporting up to 8K 60 Hz and 4K 120 Hz with compatible equipment.

Both source and display must support the required mode.

HDMI for televisions

HDMI can connect televisions to consoles, computers, players and other compatible equipment.

HDMI for gaming consoles

For high-resolution, high-refresh-rate gaming, check the console, television and cable specifications.

HDMI for monitors

HDMI is also widely used with computer monitors.

DisplayPort 1.4

The range includes a DisplayPort 1.4 cable approximately 2 m long and a USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable approximately 1.8 m long.

DisplayPort and 8K

The available DP 1.4 products support high-resolution video with compatible hardware.

USB-C to DisplayPort

The verified USB-C to DisplayPort cable supports modes including:

  • 8K 60 Hz;
  • 4K 120 Hz;
  • 2K 240 Hz;
  • Full HD 240 Hz.

The USB-C source must support video output.

Does every USB-C port support video?

No.

USB-C describes the connector shape, but the port must support the appropriate video-output mode.

USB-C to HDMI

A USB-C to HDMI 4K cable or adapter of approximately 180 cm is also available.

It can connect compatible laptops and other devices to an HDMI display.

HDMI or DisplayPort?

HDMI is common with televisions, consoles and multimedia equipment.

DisplayPort is widely used with computers, graphics cards and gaming monitors.

Choose according to the available ports and required specifications.

Toslink optical cables

Digital optical audio cables are available in approximately 2 m and 3 m lengths.

They can connect compatible televisions, soundbars, receivers and audio equipment.

How does an optical cable work?

Toslink uses light to transmit digital audio.

Protect the connectors from dirt and avoid sharp bends.

2 m or 3 m optical cable?

Choose according to the distance between your devices and the route the cable must follow.

Gold-plated connectors

Selected products feature gold-plated connector elements.

This can help protect contact surfaces from oxidation but does not increase a digital connection beyond the capabilities of the supported standard.

USB 3.0 extension cable

The category also includes a shielded USB 3.0 extension cable approximately 1.5 m long.

USB 3.0 data transfer

Actual data speed depends on the computer, port, extension cable and connected device.

A slower component can limit overall performance.

USB extensions for computers

An extension cable can make ports easier to reach and can be used with compatible flash drives, receivers and other USB devices.

Choosing cable length

Measure the route between devices and allow a small amount of extra length.

Avoid excessive tension and unnecessary cable loops.

1.5 m cables

This length is useful for devices positioned relatively close together.

2 m cables

A two-metre cable provides additional flexibility and is available in several current product types.

3 m cables

Three-metre options are useful for larger setups and cable routing behind furniture.

Is a longer cable always better?

No. Choose the shortest practical length with a reasonable margin.

What is required for 8K?

The source device, cable and display must all support the required standard and resolution.

Refresh rate

Refresh rate describes how often the image updates each second.

Higher rates are particularly relevant for gaming and fast-moving content.

Gaming cables

For gaming, check monitor resolution, refresh rate, GPU connector and supported cable standard.

HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 may be suitable depending on the equipment.

Laptop cables

Modern laptops may use HDMI or USB-C video output.

Check the exact laptop specification before selecting an adapter or cable.

Monitor cables

Compare the monitor inputs with the computer outputs before choosing HDMI or DisplayPort.

Television cables

HDMI is the most common modern video connection for televisions.

Soundbar cables

Toslink can be used where both television and soundbar provide optical audio ports.

Other setups may use HDMI ARC or eARC.

Connecting cables correctly

Insert plugs straight and avoid excessive force.

Never force an incompatible connector.

Avoid sharp cable bends

Protect the area near connectors from tight bending, crushing and pulling.

Cable organisation

Cable clips and organisers can help keep a workstation tidy and reduce accidental pulling.

Cable storage

Store unused cables in loose loops rather than tight bends.

Optical cables require particular care.

Caring for connectors

Keep plugs and ports clean and free from dust.

Do not insert metal tools into electronic ports.

How to choose the right cable

Check:

  • connector types;
  • transmission standard;
  • supported resolution;
  • refresh rate;
  • length;
  • signal direction where relevant;
  • device compatibility.

What should you check before buying?

The current category contains nine cables and adapters.

The most important factors are connector type, supported standard, resolution, refresh rate, length and compatibility with both devices.
