Kramer CLS-HM/HM/ETH-15 HDMI Cable with Ethernet Male to Male 4.6 m 4K Black

The Kramer CLS-HM/HM/ETH-15 HDMI Cable with Ethernet Male to Male 4.6 m 4K Black is a high-performance digital cable designed for reliable video and audio signal transmission between high-definition display devices, media players, and home entertainment systems. Manufactured by Kramer, this high-speed HDMI cable supports resolutions up to 4K at 4096 x 2160 pixels, ensuring sharp images and clear sound. Featuring gold-plated connector contacts and a low smoke, halogen-free construction, it is built to deliver stable performance in various professional and residential environments.

Advantages

This HDMI cable offers advanced connectivity by integrating the HDMI Ethernet Channel, which allows network communication between connected compatible devices without a separate LAN cable. It supports multiple high-end audio formats including 7.1 PCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD for immersive sound quality. The inclusion of Deep Color, x.v.Color, and Lip Sync technologies ensures accurate color reproduction and synchronized audio-visual output. Additionally, the low smoke and halogen-free jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where building regulations require flame-retardant materials.

Suitable for

• Connecting 4K media players to high-definition displays
• Home theater and entertainment system installations
• Professional AV setups requiring low smoke and halogen-free cabling
• Networking compatible devices using the HDMI Ethernet Channel

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be ideal for installations requiring cable lengths significantly longer than 4.6 meters, as passive HDMI cables can experience signal degradation over extended distances. It is also not designed for environments where standard high-speed HDMI functionality is completely unnecessary and a more basic connection would suffice.

How to use

To use the Kramer HDMI cable, connect one of the male HDMI connectors to the HDMI output port of your source device, such as a media player, Blu-ray player, or computer. Connect the other male HDMI connector to the HDMI input port of your display device, such as a television, monitor, or projector. Ensure both devices are powered off or set to standby before making connections to prevent potential damage. Push the connectors straight into the ports until they are firmly seated. If utilizing network features via the HDMI Ethernet Channel, verify that both connected devices support this function.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4.6-meter length is sufficient for your specific spatial layout and device placement.
• Check that your devices support 4K resolution and the specific audio formats you intend to use.
• Confirm whether low smoke and halogen-free cable specifications are required by your local building or installation codes.

Always route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and excessive tension on the connectors to ensure long-lasting signal integrity and prevent physical damage to the ports.
