HDMI cable DELOCK 81686 — 3 m, HDMI Type A (Male) to HDMI Type C (Mini, Male), 48 Gbit/s, up to 7680×4320

DELOCK 81686 is a 3 m High Speed HDMI with Ethernet cable that connects devices with a Mini HDMI (Type C) output — such as cameras, tablets or some laptops — to displays or TVs with a standard HDMI (Type A) port. The cable supports a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbit/s and enables video up to 8K Ultra HD (7680×4320 @ 60 Hz). It is triple-shielded, has gold-plated contacts and transmits both audio and video signals.

Advantages

The cable supports high data rates up to 48 Gbit/s, Dynamic HDR and Dolby® Vision for improved colour depth and contrast, as well as eARC for uncompressed audio return to a connected sound system. Its 36 AWG coaxial design with triple shielding and gold-plated contacts provides stable signal transmission and compatibility with a wide range of HDMI audio/video features.

Suitable for

• Connecting cameras or portable devices with Mini HDMI (Type C) to TVs or monitors with HDMI Type A
• Home cinema setups requiring HDR, Dolby Vision and high-resolution video
• Gaming or PC use where high frame rates and high resolutions are needed

When it may not be suitable

The cable has Mini HDMI (Type C) on one end and Standard HDMI (Type A) on the other; it is not suitable for devices requiring Micro HDMI (Type D) or other connector types without an adapter. Achievable resolutions and frame rates depend on the capabilities of the connected devices and source hardware, so full 8K/60 performance requires compatible display and source equipment.

How to use

Connect the HDMI Type C (Mini) male end to the device with a Mini HDMI output (for example a camera or tablet) and plug the HDMI Type A male end into the TV, monitor or capture device. Ensure both source and display are powered on and set to the correct input. If your setup requires the highest resolutions or features such as eARC, enable corresponding settings on the source and display devices and use compatible hardware that supports the desired bandwidth and modes.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your source device uses a Mini HDMI (Type C) connector (not Micro HDMI)
• Confirm that both source and display support the target resolution, refresh rate and features (e.g. 8K@60, eARC, Dolby Vision)
• Consider that cable length and device capabilities affect achievable performance

Usage recommendations

For best results use this 3 m cable with devices and displays that explicitly support HDMI 2.1 features and the required bandwidth; enable eARC or Dolby Vision in device settings where applicable and avoid unnecessary bends near the connectors to maintain signal integrity.
