Breakdown of HDMI Cable Types

HDMI cables are divided according to their connectors:

• HDMI connection cables - have a male connector at both ends of the cable. These are primarily used to connect two display devices.
• HDMI extension cables - have a different connector at each end. They are used to extend short HDMI cables.

HDMI 1.4

The most widespread type of HDMI connector, used by most ordinary multimedia devices. Its advantages are the transmission of uncompressed data and the fact that you only need one cable for both video and audio. You can also buy them for pennies.

HDMI 2.0

A standard cable for connecting 4K devices that is now supported by virtually all 4K TVs. HDMI 2.0 uses the same connectors as previous versions, so backward compatibility is assured.

HDMI 2.1

A brand-new standard that promises many new features. HDMI 2.1 is designed to support up to 10K resolution, and can easily handle 4K at 120 frames per second. It comes with dynamic HDR support, which has recently appeared on newer TVs. HDMI 2.1 will also be appreciated by gamers, as the new standard will provide the same features as FreeSync and G-Sync, allowing the same gaming improvements for a fraction of the cost.
