A:AnswerSimply put, yes. ARC ports are, as you pointed out, bi-directional, the same as HDMI cables. ARC was introduced to take advantage of the HDMI cable's capabilities, so any newer HDMI cable would work. If you are interested, there's a pretty cool article that covers this in a whole lot more detail than I can explain:

A:AnswerBandwidth on this cable is 18 Gbps. This is not an Ultra High Speed certified cable (48 Gbps). This is a Premium High Speed certified cable (18 Gbps)
A:AnswerNo. The cable will not make any improvement unless the video card in your Acer supports at least 3840 x 2160 pixels or 4096 x 2160 pixels. It won't change your video card to output signal from 1920 x 1080 to 4k. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThe box only says ARC supported but the other specs it has (HDMI w/Ethernet, 32 Channel Audio, 192khz/24 samplling), for the most part meet the E-ARC specs.
A:AnswerRocketfish HDMI cable is good for your basic connections like cable box to TV and to DVD player. But if you have a more complex system, you'll need to upgrade to Audio Quest HDMI Cinnamon. I needed Cinnamon to connect my Sony TV in the ARC to the monitor in the Receiver and a Cinnamon from my DVD player to the receiver. Now my speaker system works brilliantly with everything. And, all other components work nicely too. No more problems. It is a good valve long term to upgrade your cables. You will wonderful why you waited so long to do it.
A:AnswerCables that meet the qualifications to be certified for in wall use means that they can be threaded behind your dry wall and between the studs for concealment purposes. The insulations are thicker and they meet requirements for conductivity without heating up. The insulation is a type that will not deteriorate over a given period of time. You should pay attention to codes. Some localities require that in wall installations have to be done by a licensed electrician. If you do it yourself, and you have a fire in your garage or kitchen, the fire inspector may see this installation and check with records to see if it was a professional job. If it is not, a simple check mark he places on his report may be noted by your insurance company, and they may deny your claim even though the fire had nothing to do with your installation. Always check to see what the ordinances are before running wires.
A:AnswerHDMI has copyright protection called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copyright Protection). If the video going to the VCR/DVD recorder is via HDMI, the signal will be blocked and you will record a black screen. The only way to get around this is to use a component or composite cable (maybe s-video also?). Therefore, this is not fault of the cable necessarily, it's an issue with HDMI protection in general.
A:AnswerThis cable is NOT certified for HDMI2.1. I learned two things on this matter. 1; if the cable is rated for 8k, it is certified for HDMI 2.1. 2; sometimes cables are not labeled for HDMI 2.1 but are still certified non the less. Go with a cable rated for 8k and your good.
A:AnswerHi there,
As long as your Roku TV has a HDMI 1 port, this cable will fit with your TV.
