HDMI Cable Python GC-M0251 0.5m HDMI Type A Male 2.1 Black

The Python GC-M0251 HDMI Cable is a 0.5 m high-speed connection cable with standard HDMI Type A male connectors on both ends. Designed to support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth up to 38.4 Gbit/s and Audio Return Channel (ARC), the cable transmits high-quality video and multichannel audio between compatible source and display devices. Its compact length and black finish make it suitable for short-distance connections behind TVs, monitors, projectors, or gaming setups where a reliable digital link is required.

Advantages

This HDMI cable supports the HDMI 2.1 specification with a data transfer rate of 38.4 Gbit/s, enabling high-resolution video and high-framerate content within the cable’s physical limits. Gold-plated HDMI Type A connectors improve corrosion resistance and provide a stable electrical contact for consistent signal transmission. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and signal attenuation for close device placements, while the black jacket offers a discreet appearance in most AV environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a set-top box or streaming device at short distance
• Linking a gaming console to a monitor or TV for 4K/120Hz or other supported modes
• Connecting a laptop or media player to a projector in small meeting rooms
• Short runs within home theater setups where cable length must be minimal

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m cable is intended for short-distance connections; it is not suitable where longer runs are required between devices located in different rooms or across larger spaces. For applications that demand features beyond HDMI 2.1 bandwidth or specialized connectors (for example, optical HDMI extenders, active cables for very long distances, or cables with integrated Ethernet or USB-C connectivity), select a cable designed for those specific needs.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: HDMI Type A (male) on both ends
• Supported specification: HDMI 2.1
• Maximum data transfer rate: 38.4 Gbit/s
• Audio: Supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off or in standby before making connections. Insert each HDMI Type A plug fully into the corresponding HDMI ports on source and display devices until a secure fit is felt. After connection, power on devices and select the appropriate HDMI input on the display. If using advanced display modes (high refresh rates, HDR, VRR), verify that both source and display settings support those modes and that firmware on connected devices is up to date.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your setup: 0.5 m is suitable only for short-distance connections
• Compatibility of source and display with HDMI 2.1 features you intend to use (resolution, refresh rate, HDR, VRR)
• Whether you need additional features such as Ethernet over HDMI or longer active/optical cable solutions for extended runs
• Available HDMI port types on your devices (this cable uses standard HDMI Type A male connectors)

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs short and avoid tight bends near the connectors. Confirm device settings and update firmware to enable HDMI 2.1 features. Use the 0.5 m Python HDMI cable for tidy, behind-device connections where a short, reliable HDMI 2.1 link is required.
