HDMI cable Philips Phil-SWV5551/00 5 m Male-to-Male

Philips HDMI cable Phil-SWV5551/00 5 m Male-to-Male is a 5-metre HDMI lead designed to carry high-definition video and multichannel audio between HDMI-equipped devices. The cable supports point-to-point connections between TVs, monitors, Blu-ray players, game consoles and set-top boxes, allowing flexible placement of equipment without intermediate converters or repeaters for typical home and office installations.

Advantages

This 5 m HDMI cable provides a single-cable solution for transmitting uncompressed digital video and audio signals. Its male-to-male configuration ensures compatibility with standard HDMI ports and simplifies setup. The length reduces the need for signal extenders in short to medium runs and allows tidy routing behind furniture or along walls. The cable is intended for straightforward plug-and-play use with consumer AV equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a Blu-ray or DVD player
• Linking a game console to a monitor or TV
• Connecting set-top boxes and receivers to displays
• Home theatre systems and AV setups requiring a 5 m HDMI run

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: HDMI male to HDMI male
• Signal: digital video and multichannel audio
• Compatibility: standard HDMI-equipped consumer electronics (TVs, monitors, Blu-ray players, game consoles, set-top boxes)
• Intended use: point-to-point AV connections in home and office environments

How to use

Connect one HDMI male connector to the HDMI output of the source device (for example a Blu-ray player or game console) and the other connector to the HDMI input of the display device (TV or monitor). Ensure both devices are powered off when inserting the cable to avoid hot-plugging issues, then power on the devices and select the corresponding HDMI input on the display. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from large electrical interference sources.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for direct connections up to 5 metres. If you require longer runs or need to maintain signal integrity over greater distances, consider active HDMI extenders or use of an HDMI-over-Ethernet solution. Inspect connectors before use and avoid excessive bending at the ends to prolong service life.
