HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) with 3D
This HDMI cable includes Ethernet capability via the "HDMI Ethernet Channel" (HEC), which allows internet connection sharing, home entertainment networking and content distribution between compatible devices (video game consoles, TVs, BluRay players, etc), without the need for Ethernet cables. Also supports 3D.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)
These HDMI cables are capable of transmitting digital audio via the "Return Audio Channel" (ARC), when used with compatible devices.

Active HDMI
Regular (passive) HDMI cables can often suffer signal loss over longer distances (ie: more than 10 metres). Active HDMI cables like this one boost the signal, which helps to push the signal further, allowing for longer HDMI cables. This cable cleverly uses built-in electronics within the cable, so you don't need an external power supply.

PLEASE NOTE: This cable is designed to be used with the black rectangular "monitor" plug at the display end (eg: TV or receiver input) and the orange plug at the source end (eg: BluRay player or receiver output).
