Description

StarTech HDMI21-CBL-SLIM-50C Ultra Slim HDMI 2.1 Cable

Overview

The StarTech HDMI21-CBL-SLIM-50C is a 1.6-foot (0.5m) passive HDMI 2.1 cable designed for high-bandwidth video and audio transmission. Its ultra-slim 4.0mm OD TPE jacket and 34 AWG wire gauge make it ideal for tight installations where flexibility and minimal visual clutter are paramount, such as connecting high-resolution displays to PCs, gaming consoles, or professional AV equipment in rack-mounted or wall-mounted systems. This cable supports the full 48Gbps bandwidth of the HDMI 2.1 specification, ensuring uncompromised performance for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This HDMI 2.1 cable is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions but is specifically engineered to leverage the full capabilities of HDMI 2.1 sources and displays. It supports uncompressed resolutions up to 8K 30Hz or 4K 144Hz, and 2K 240Hz. With DSC (Display Stream Compression), it can handle up to 10K 60Hz, 8K 144Hz, and 4K 240Hz. It also supports advanced features like HDR10+ and eARC, along with multi-channel audio up to 32 channels, making it suitable for high-end home theater setups, professional video walls, and high-refresh-rate gaming environments.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and can be stored between -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). It requires a humidity level between 10%RH and 90%RH. The passive nature of the cable means it relies on the source device to provide sufficient HDMI signal power. The gold-plated connectors ensure reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance.
