Choose the right HDMI version
The HDMI version sets the bandwidth limit — the wrong version holds back even a good display. The LINDY HDMI range covers HDMI 1.4, 2.0 and 2.1, for resolutions from FHD up to 10K. Before ordering, check which HDMI version the source and the display support, then choose a series by housing material, shielding and cable diameter.
Series comparison
| Series | HDMI version | Bandwidth | Max resolution | Housing / shielding | Conductor | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANTHRA | 2.1 | 48 Gbps | 10240×4320@120Hz | PVC / aluminum-magnesium braid | Phosphor bronze + 24K gold plating | 8K displays, high refresh rates |
| GOLD 2.1 | 2.1 | 48 Gbps | 10240×4320@120Hz | Zinc alloy / copper braid | Oxygen-free copper + 24K gold plating | Displays, long-term installation |
| BLACK 8K | 2.1 | 48 Gbps | 7680×4320@60Hz | PVC / aluminum foil shield | Gold-plated contacts | General 8K TV connection |
| CROMO slim | 2.1 | 48 Gbps | 7680×4320@60Hz | Chrome-plated ABS / copper braid | Copper conductor | Mobile devices, tight spaces |
| GOLD 2.0 | 2.0 | 18 Gbps | 4096×2160@60Hz | Zinc alloy / copper braid | 24 AWG oxygen-free copper + gold plating | Mainstream 4K HDR |
| CROMO 2.0 | 2.0 | 18 Gbps | 4096×2160@60Hz | Chrome-plated ABS / copper braid | 24K gold-plated contacts | Office / display 4K output |
| BLACK 2.0 | 2.0 | 18 Gbps | 4096×2160@60Hz | PVC / aluminum foil shield | Gold-plated contacts | Entry-level 4K HDR |

Three points to check
- Check the HDMI version of your equipment. Both the source (PC, player) and the display (monitor, TV) must support HDMI 2.1 to reach 48 Gbps. If either end is HDMI 2.0, a 2.1 cable performs no differently from a 2.0 cable. The cable version only needs to match or exceed the equipment.
- Choose the series by housing. GOLD zinc-alloy connectors withstand frequent plugging, for equipment that is reconnected often. CROMO chrome-plated ABS is light with a thin cable (slim type 3.2 mm), for mobile devices and tight cable runs. ANTHRA’s black aluminum-magnesium braid shields well against EMI, for industrial control or electrically noisy areas.
- Shielding affects signal stability. Copper braid shielding (85%+) resists interference better than a single aluminum foil layer. In dense or high-interference environments (server rooms, multi-screen showrooms), choose ANTHRA or GOLD.
Note on HDMI 2.1 compliance: many cables sold as “8K HDMI 2.1” do not actually reach 48 Gbps. The LINDY ANTHRA series is Ultra High Speed HDMI compliant (rated 48 Gbps), which you can use as a reference when choosing.
Selection by application
| Application | Suggested series | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Gaming monitors 4K@144Hz / 8K@60Hz | ANTHRA 2.1 / GOLD 2.1 | rated 48 Gbps, aluminum-magnesium shielding |
| Office projection / 4K@60Hz | CROMO 2.0 / BLACK 2.0 | 18 Gbps is sufficient |
| Mobile devices / tight spaces | CROMO slim | 3.2 mm cable diameter |
| Long-term installation / frequent plugging | GOLD series | Durable zinc-alloy connectors |
| Older equipment / ARC needs | GOLD 1.4 | HDMI Ethernet support, backward compatible |
