FAQs
Is the Simplecom CAH520 compatible with older HDMI devices?
Yes, the CAH520 is fully backwards compatible with all previous HDMI versions. You can use it with older devices without any issues, though you'll only get the features supported by that device.
What does 48Gbps bandwidth mean, and why does it matter?
48Gbps (gigabits per second) is the data transfer rate. This high bandwidth is necessary to support 8K video at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz, as well as high-bitrate audio formats. It ensures smooth, high-quality content delivery without bottlenecks.
Can I use this cable for 4K gaming at 120Hz?
Yes, the CAH520 fully supports 4K@120Hz, making it ideal for next-generation gaming consoles and high-refresh-rate gaming displays.
What is graphene shielding, and how does it help?
Graphene shielding provides superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection compared to standard shielding. Combined with aluminium foil, it ensures stable signal quality and reduces unwanted interference from external sources.
Is the 2-metre length suitable for my setup?
The 2-metre length works well for most home theatre and office setups. If you need a longer cable, check our other cable options or contact Hyetech Australia for recommendations.
Does the CAH520 support Dolby Atmos and other advanced audio formats?
Yes, the CAH520 supports high-bitrate audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X, perfect for immersive audio experiences.
What does eARC mean, and why is it important?
eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) allows video devices to send high-quality audio back to your AV receiver or soundbar over the same HDMI cable, simplifying your setup and reducing cable clutter.
How durable is the gold-plated connector?
Gold plating resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining reliable connections over time. The CAH520 is built for long-term use in both home and professional environments.
