Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the excellent picture quality, reliable HDMI connectivity, and good overall performance. They also appreciate the variety of cable lengths and fast speeds. However, some customers find the product to be on the higher end of the price spectrum. A few users also mention concerns about cable flexibility and compatibility with certain monitors, though lag is rarely reported as an issue.

    Won't do 4k@120hz For Very Long

    I've gone through 3 of these. They just keep dying. After a while, all they'll do is 4k@60hz. If I try to set it back to 4k@120hz, the screen goes black. So I buy another cable, and the problem goes away for 6 month, then the cycle repeats. Do not buy these expecting 4k@120hz unless you're good replacing them every 6 months

    These cables at this 12’ length DO NOT support 4K/120 or even 1440/120 via Xbox Series S. The cable included with the console works like a charm, but I have tried 2 of these rocketfish cables and neither of them were able to pass 120hz.

    all of the 2.1 cables were out of stock so I had to spend an absorbent amount of money for this reinforced cable, and it proceeds to break in a couple of months. Never put it in a wall just ran it from my computer to my monitor. Even though I know most of you wouldn't waste your money on this overpriced cable make this a second reason not to.

    One HDMI to Rule them All!

    THIS… Is Rocketfish’s (a BestBuy brand) 15’ 8k 48gbps HDMI cable and YES it is EXPENSIVE and yes it is probably…too expensive… however! What this cable does, it does exceptionally well. It supports 4k @ 120hz and 8k at 60hz… you only get this on certified 2.1 cables which means all your PC’s, PS5’s and Xbox X’s need this cable if you plan on playing in 8k or 120hz. On top of that, this cable is certified for in wall instillation, Variable Refresh Rate (looking at the new PS5 Pro and PC’s), Dynamic HDR, and quick frame transport. Essentially, if you need the absolute best cable to run your brand new TV that you just hooked up to your brand new entertainment center then this is probably where you should be looking. With all the bells and whistles while also having a lifetime warranty… look no further! It supports everything and your kitchen sink while being able to roll on down to bestbuy if it doesn't and get it replaced. Especially as the HDMI cable gets longer, in my experience, I have ran into several issues with the cable being DOA or having a shorter lifespan. If you have already checked out because the cable is expensive, I get it, but when you spent several thousands of dollars on a brand new setup, the last thing you want to get is a cable that is not certified and degrading your image. Looking at the cable physically, you can tell it is well made and can take the test of time as this cable is one of the thickest one’s I have seen and for good reason - being in wall rated is a big deal and backing it with a lifetime warranty means that this cable has to be able to take the heat and deter and interference it may come into. While this has been a rather ranty review, I cannot stress enough how important a good HDMI or DP cable is in ensuring that you are watching the quality that you are paying for. As always the best part of buying a BestBuy branded product is that BestBuy will stand behind it if anything goes wrong you never have to worry about getting another bum HDMI cable again. Best Buy also has an excellent return policy and even better customer service, so you never have to worry about buying a product that you don’t like so you might as well give it a go on your brand new setup!

    Strong and durable HDMI cable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When you're purchasing an HDMI cable (or any sort of cable, really), the first thing you want to consider is how you plan to use it. If you want a cable to put in your laptop bag, you might consider things like weight and abiity to coil tightly. On the other hand, if you want a cable to run through your wall as part of a permanent install, you want something rather different - you want something thick and durable regardless of weight, something that will LAST in a permanent installation. You also want something that has a bit more "stiffness" to it, to make it easier to feed through the wall conduit or air gap between studs. And you want something with a good length to ensure you have a good amount of cable left on both sides to make whatever connections you want. In short, you want something that you can run the first time and leave it for a long time - including being at least somewhat future proof in capabilities. This particular Rocketfish cable checks ALL those boxes for an in-wall installation - it's a HEAVY duty cable clearly meant for a long-term installation and rated for in wall duty (which is important). It certainly can flex to accomodate being run through a wall but also can hold up to being fed through that wall. And it's the highest spec of HDMI currently available so while nothing in technology is truly future-proof, this cable does give you some good headroom to grow in the future (it supports bandwidth to 48Gbps which is sufficient for high framerate 4K or 60Hz 8K with other goodies like HDR turned on so you should get a number of years of use out of it). Beyond that, it's a generous length at 15ft (though of course measure to make sure that it's long enough for your purposes with some left over at both ends if you do plan an in-wall installation). And of course it works as advertised - run the cable, plug in both ends and it works just like it should. So there you have it - a top notch heavy duty in-wall HDMI cable meant for the long haul. If that sounds good to you, give it a try today!
