Its a high speed cable 48gbps, although no braid and the cable feels cheaper than others, but thats what your paying for, you could get better cables that use braids and such, but you'd be paying a lot more for things that arn't really important, for me it's going to sit behind a tv, all it needs to do is produce a good signal with a high bit rate and it does those things.

I don’t currently have wifi so I wanted to run my phone (with Netflix) to my TV! This HDMI cord is hefty and seem like is is good quality. I do wish there was something in between 12’ and 25’. (Bc 25’ seemed pretty expensive.). However, now I can avoid another monthly expense!

Fairly sturdy, not the most hefty of cords but more than makes up for it with transfer speeds.... FINALLY got my consoles working properly on 4k 120hz w/ Dolby vision and I cannot emphasize what a difference it is...

I got this cable to use with my Apple TV 4K, which I was pleased to discover worked perfectly with. It is capable of handling any signal the Apple TV can throw at it, 4K 60Hz HDR, and more. It can handle up to 120 Hz, which can only realistically come from a gaming console or PC, at the time of this writing. It can handle up to 8K but there are not any mainstream devices that output 8K at this time.

Great cheap HDMI cable that can push 8K resolution, though I used it for 1440p at 144hz and for roughly $15 it was the best deal I could find and worked great.
Kinda wish they were braided cables but that would probably raise the price so oh well.

Picked up this cord for the HDMI 2.1 performance for my Samsung Odyssey G9. I was getting a white flickering with the display port cable, but this fixed the issue immediately. That and I could rock 240 Hz with this cable but was locked at 120 with the display port! Awesome cable and very affordable.

Perfect replacement after my first VR session ended with a surprise punch to the monitor—sent it flying, snapped the HDMI clean off. Lesson learned. This one works like a charm—and at a great price too.
