FAQs
Is this cable compatible with older HDMI devices?
Yes. The mbeat Tough Link is fully backward compatible with HDMI 2.0b, 2.0a, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, and 1.1 standards. It works seamlessly with older devices whilst supporting next-generation 8K and high-refresh-rate displays.
What is 48Gbps bandwidth and why does it matter?
48Gbps refers to the maximum data transfer rate of the cable. This high bandwidth allows the cable to transmit uncompressed 8K video at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz, and full-quality audio signals without degradation. Higher bandwidth supports higher resolutions and refresh rates.
What are VRR, ALLM, and QFT?
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) synchronises display refresh with frame rates to eliminate screen tearing. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) reduces input lag for competitive gaming. QFT (Quick Frame Transport) minimises frame delivery latency. Together, these features optimise gaming performance.
Can this cable support my PS5 or Xbox Series X at 4K 120Hz?
Yes. The mbeat Tough Link supports 4K@120Hz, which is the standard for PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming. It also supports higher refresh rates (4K@240Hz) for PC gaming with compatible graphics hardware.
What does eARC support mean for audio?
eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) allows the TV to send high-quality audio signals to soundbars or receivers. This cable supports uncompressed surround formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, enabling cinema-grade audio without additional audio cables.
Is the 1.5m length suitable for my setup?
The 1.5m length is ideal for most gaming, desktop, and home theatre installations where the display and source device are relatively close. For longer distances or wall-mounted setups, you may need to assess your specific layout requirements.
How does the nylon-braided construction improve the cable?
The nylon-braided mesh protects the internal conductors from physical damage, wear, and tangling. It increases durability and lifespan, making the cable more resistant to bending stress during frequent handling and cable management.
