    Good deal on decent cables.

    FYI for other ozbargainers there is no such thing as a v2.0 HDMI cable.

    HDMI 2.0 does not define new cables or new connectors. Current High Speed cables (Category 2 cables) are capable of carrying the increased bandwidth.
    http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/

    All High speed(category 2) HDMI cables will support all current formats including 4K, 3D etc.

      How in God's name did you work out there's no version 2.0 HDMI cable and then link to a page explaining how there's such a thing as a HDMI 2.0 cable specification?

      • ajdlinux on 01/08/2015 - 14:19
        +3

        Category 2 != HDMI 2.0, from what I can see?

      • Blackrose on 01/08/2015 - 15:24
        +3

        HDMI cable category 1 or 2 have no relation to the HDMI revision numbers.

        Category 1 HDMI cables are standard speed HDMI cables not certified for 1080p, 4K, 3D etc
        Category 2 HDMI cables are High speed HDMI cables certified for all current formats supported by HDMI.

        Category 2 High speed cables have been around since HDMI revision 1.3, cables certified High speed under HDMI v1.3 will support all current formats that HDMI v2.0 supports, the only thing cables certified when v1.3 was the latest don't support is Ethernet over HDMI, but I have yet to see any devices with this feature.

        and then link to a page explaining how there's such a thing as a HDMI 2.0 cable specification?

        There is no such explanation of a HDMI v2.0 cable specification on any of those links, the page is explaining the new functionality of the HDMI v2.0 specification, and it explicitly states that HDMI v2.0 does not define any new cables or connectors.

        HDMI 2.0 does not define new cables or new connectors. Current High Speed cables (Category 2 cables) are capable of carrying the increased bandwidth.

        Manufacturers and sellers are not even supposed to be using the HDMI revision numbers anymore as it leads to confusion.

        No Use of HDMI Version Numbers Effective Immediately
        Effective January 1, 2012, all HDMI products cannot make any reference to HDMI version numbers.

    • Torell on 01/08/2015 - 14:08

      No joke i read this wasn't the case? And while even cheap cables CAN run the bandwidth, they cant run 4k. Is that the difference with category 2 cables?

    • Pizza The Hutt on 03/08/2015 - 10:02

      Just to confirm what you are saying is it's not called version 2.0, but just category 2?

      Only because there is a difference between 1.4 and 2.0, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison for the comparison.

      • Blackrose on 04/08/2015 - 10:48
        +1

        Yep it's called category 2 or high speed HDMI, most manufacturers don't use category 1(standard speed) or category 2 (high speed) on their labeling or advertising, you just need to look for high speed HDMI and if it has been certified properly that is the most recent revision for HDMI cables.

        Only because there is a difference between 1.4 and 2.0, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison for the comparison.

        The second table there shows what devices are capable of under the different HDMI revisions, that is not relevant to cables as they are a dumb component, as in they don't know what signal is being sent through them, the cable does not know if your sending SD or HD video etc, as long as it has the bandwidth to support the signal it will work fine.

        The first table on that link shows the maximum throughput of the different HDMI revisions, HDMI v1.0 ,1.1 & 1.2 all have the same maximum throughput, as this point there was only one HDMI cable category.
        With HDMI v1.3 the maximum throughput increased, this is when HDMI.org introduced category 2 (high speed) HDMI cable to cater for higher resolutions etc.
        With HDMI v1.4 the maximum throughput stays the same so no new cables required for that, but HDMI.org did introduce a new cable with v1.4, that is a HDMI cable with Ethernet channel (HEC) a cable the has HEC can be either a standard speed(category 1) or high speed(category 2) HDMI cable, however as no devices support Ethernet over HDMI there is no use for this feature.
        HDMI v2.0 does increase the maximum throughput however HDMI.org have stated that existing high speed(category 2) cables will work fine with the increased bandwidth as there are improved signalling methods used to accomplish this.

        Can existing HDMI cables support the higher bandwidths of HDMI 2.0 Specification?
        Yes, existing High Speed HDMI Cables (wire only) will support the new higher bandwidths (up to 18Gbps).

        HDMI 2.0 specification defined a new, more efficient signaling method, for speeds above 1.4b limits (10.2Gbps), to allow higher bandwidths >(up to 18Gbps) over existing High Speed HDMI Wire Cables.
        http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/hdmi_2_0_faq.aspx#…

        So you just need to look for a high speed HDMI cable, if it has been certified properly it should work with all current HDMI features.

        If any manufacturer or seller is making any claims about needing the latest HDMI v2.0 cable they lying as their is no such thing as a HDMI v2.0 cable.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2015 - 14:04

    If anyone is interested, there was a good TWIT/Home.Theater.Geeks-ep265 podcast last week about the quality of HDMI cables.

    • Diji1 on 01/08/2015 - 14:12

      Without watching it I think there's no difference if a cable meets specifications and the only people that should be paying a lot for cables that meet the specification are those with large areas where cables are run in the high tens of metres in length (so almost nobody) and/or those that believe in "future proofing" to possibly avoid expensive work putting cable into walls (seems a bit silly to me).

      Am I right?

      • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2015 - 14:29
        +2

        not really.. theres more to signal loss than just cable length

  • Diji1 on 01/08/2015 - 14:04

        • [Deactivated] on 02/08/2015 - 01:20

          As long as the bloody cable conducts electricity and is insulated, you'll be fine.

        • thecraw on 02/08/2015 - 20:55

          @tendollar:

          What about when running longer lengths? Is it possible that poorer quality HDMI may 'drop out'.

          Reason I ask is I just set up a projector with a 15M cable through the wall and roof. I am getting intermittent drop out of signal.

          Just wondering whether a cheaper cable is the cause…

    • mathew42 on 01/08/2015 - 14:52

      HDMI is digital, so basically either the cable works or it doesn't. A bit like digital TV you either see a picture or it is complete rubbish.

      • Unrvl on 01/08/2015 - 15:49

          I remain to be convinced improving the quality of the stream would improve the quality of the programming above complete rubbish ;-).

        • airzone on 01/08/2015 - 21:57

    Can anyone confirm whether the 20M one is active (aka amplified)? Any HDMI cable over 10M long should be active.

    The fact that it's not listed in the specs is the only thing that's stopping me from pulling the trigger.
