HDMI cable black box VCB-HD2L-003 0.9 m HDMI Type A Male–Male, HDMI 2.0, gold-plated contacts

Black Box VCB-HD2L-003 is a 0.9 m HDMI 2.0 cable with HDMI Type A male connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. This compact black cable supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) and the full HDMI 2.0 feature set, enabling high-dynamic-range (HDR) video, wide color gamuts and HDCP 2.2 content protection. Designed for short-run home and office AV connections, the cable transmits high-definition video and multi-channel audio between TVs, monitors, set-top boxes, game consoles and AV receivers while offering reliable shielding against interference.

Advantages

The cable offers HDMI 2.0 bandwidth and feature support in a short, flexible form factor that is convenient for tight routing behind furniture or inside AV racks. Gold-plated contacts improve signal conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. Foil and braid shielding reduce EMI/RFI interference, while gripping HDMI connectors provide a secure mechanical fit to help prevent accidental disconnects. Built-in ARC and Ethernet support simplify audio return and networked HDMI device connectivity where supported.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a set-top box or streaming player at short distance

How to use

Connect one HDMI Type A male connector to the HDMI output of your source device (for example a set-top box, game console or laptop) and the other connector to the HDMI input on your display or AV receiver. Ensure both devices are powered on and set the display input to the corresponding HDMI port. If available, enable ARC on both TV and AV receiver to use the audio return channel, and configure HDMI Ethernet Channel settings on devices that support shared network over HDMI. For best results, avoid sharp bends and maintain gentle cable routing to prevent strain at the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.9 m HDMI cable for short-distance connections where HDMI 2.0 features such as HDR, multi-channel audio and HDCP 2.2 protection are required. For runs longer than 1–2 meters or for installations requiring future-proofing to newer HDMI standards, consider longer or higher-specification cables that explicitly list bandwidth and performance guarantees for greater distances.
