Standard HDMI with Ethernet Cable FAQs

What is the HDMI with Ethernet standard?

The HDMI with Ethernet standard, introduced in HDMI 1.4, allows HDMI-enabled devices to share an internet connection via the HDMI link, eliminating the need for separate Ethernet cables. It provides a high-speed bidirectional data communication channel for sharing digital content between devices in its native format. This feature does not alter encrypted or unencrypted data; it only facilitates sharing and accessing data through various IP-based devices.

What is HDMI with Ethernet used for?

The HDMI Ethernet Channel serves two primary purposes:

It allows internet-enabled HDMI devices to share an internet connection through the HDMI link, eliminating the need for separate Ethernet cables.
It provides a connection platform that enables HDMI-enabled components to share content between devices seamlessly.

Can you run HDMI and Ethernet together?

Yes, by compressing the HDMI signal into a data stream, HDMI over Ethernet technology allows users to transmit HDMI signals up to 100 meters/328 feet or more. To extend HDMI over Ethernet, you will need:

An HDMI over Ethernet extender kit
Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7)
A power supply

What version of HDMI supports Ethernet?

The HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) was introduced in HDMI 1.4, along with the Audio Return Channel (ARC). This feature adds a high-speed bidirectional data communication link and the ability to send audio data upstream to the source device.

Can I run HDMI over CAT6?

Yes, you can use Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cables with most HDMI extenders. However, it is generally recommended to opt for Cat6 or better for optimal performance and compatibility. To transmit a 1080p HDTV signal over Cat5, you may need two Cat5 cables and a dual extender.

Is CAT6 the same as HDMI?

No, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) and Ethernet cables like Cat5e and Cat6 are designed for different purposes. HDMI is designed for carrying audio and video signals, while Ethernet cables are designed for carrying network data.

Is high speed HDMI with Ethernet 4K?

Yes, the High Speed HDMI Cable is designed and tested to handle video resolutions up to 4K@30Hz, as well as advanced display technologies such as 3D and Deep Color. It supports a bandwidth of up to 10.2Gbps, which is sufficient for 4K resolution and beyond.

Do I need new HDMI cables for 4K?

When it comes to 4K technology, HDMI connections make a difference. 4K has a much higher resolution, refresh rate, and bandwidth than standard high-definition displays. To fully utilize a 4K device, you will need 4K or 8K HDMI cables that can handle the increased bandwidth and resolution requirements.

Is HDMI with Ethernet the same as HDMI ARC?

No, HDMI with Ethernet (HEC) and HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) are separate features, although they are sometimes combined and referred to as HEAC (HDMI Ethernet Audio Channel) for brevity. HEC enables internet connectivity and content sharing, while ARC allows audio to be sent from the TV to an audio system over the HDMI cable.

Do I need a special cable for eARC?

You don't necessarily need a special cable for HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), but a High-Speed HDMI cable or an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable is recommended. The latter option is guaranteed to work, as it supports all HDMI 2.1 features, including eARC.
