There are several HDMI® cable types plus a special cable certification designation to choose from; each designed to meet a particular performance standard. Here is an overview of the HDMI cable types, their capabilities, and how to tell them apart.
To help consumers and to clarify cable types further, all HDMI® cable products are required to be labeled with Cable Name Logos provided by HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc. Look for these logos when choosing the HDMI cable that is best for your needs.
The Ultra High Speed HDMI CableThis latest HDMI cable is the only cable that complies with stringent specifications designed to ensure support for all HDMI 2.1 features including uncompressed 8k@60 and 4K@120. The cable’s bandwidth supports up to 48Gbps, it is backwards compatible with existing HDMI devices, and features exceptionally low EMI which reduces interference with nearby wireless devices. For verification and authentication the cable packaging is required to display the Ultra High Speed HDMI Certification Label which includes the Cable Name Logo printed on it.

High Speed HDMI Cable with EthernetThis cable type offers the same baseline performance as the High Speed HDMI Cable with an additional dedicated data channel, known as the HDMI Ethernet Channel, for device networking. HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality is only available if both linked devices are HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled.
High Speed HDMI CableThe High Speed HDMI Cable is designed and tested to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies such as 4K@30Hz, 3D, and Deep Color. If you are using any of these technologies, or if you are connecting your 1080p HD display to a 1080p HD content source, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, this is the recommended cable.
High Speed Automotive HDMI CableSince an automotive system may be wired with one or more internal relays that can affect signal strength, the High Speed Automotive HDMI Cable needs to send a stronger signal than other cables types, so it is tested to higher performance standards. It also may utilize a special dust and vibration-resistant HDMI Type E connector with locking tab.
Standard HDMI Cable with EthernetThis cable type offers the same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable, plus an additional, dedicated data channel, known as the HDMI Ethernet Channel, for device networking. HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality is only available if both linked devices are HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled.
Standard HDMI CableThe Standard HDMI cable is designed to handle some earlier consumer applications, and is tested to reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video. Most of these cables have been replaced by the High Speed HDMI Cables but there are still some in the marketplace and consumers should note while fine for some uses, they don’t support the later resolutions, refresh rates and bandwidth requirements.
Standard Automotive HDMI CableSince an automotive system may be wired with one or more internal relays that can affect signal strength, the Standard Automotive HDMI Cable needs to send a stronger signal than other cables types, so it is tested to higher performance standards. It also may utilize a special dust and vibration-resistant HDMI Type E connector with locking tab.
How do I choose an HDMI cable?
1.Connector Type.
2.Resolutions of your video source and display.
3.Distance between devices.
4.Special-Uses, such as installing the cable through walls or in moist or
dusty environments.
Is there a difference between HDMI and HDMI ARC cable?
ARC is short for Audio Return Channel. This is a technology that's used for
some HDMI connectors and most HDMI 2.0b cables. While a regular HDMI connector
is only able to transmit video images, ARC has an added function that allows you
to transmit audio from a TV back to the source, like a receiver or soundbar.
Do different HDMI cables make a difference?
Can a very expensive HDMI cable show a better picture and sound quality than
a cheaper one? The quick answer is no. An HDMI cable, regardless of the
materials used, can either transmit a signal or not – there's no in-between. An
expensive HDMI doesn't produce richer colors or crisper sound than cheaper
versions.
Does type of HDMI cable matter?
Most certainly, and that applies whether you're on a monitor, projector,
portable projector, or your trusty TV. While up until HDMI 1.3 the saying “all
HDMI cables are made equal” was more or less correct, since HDMI 1.4 and the
advent of 4K the various data bandwidth of each cable makes a huge
difference.
