HDMI CEC-Enabled Cable

HDMI Type-A (Standard) HDMI
HDMI Type-A (Standard) HDMI

Standard HDMI cable with full CEC pin wiring for device control (one remote for TV + soundbar + Blu-ray). All modern HDMI cables support CEC but cheap ones sometimes omit pin 13.

Consumer Electronics Control relies on pin 13 of the HDMI connector, and a CEC-enabled cable guarantees that conductor is wired so a single remote can operate a television, soundbar, and Blu-ray player together. Every modern HDMI specification includes CEC, but inexpensive cables sometimes omit the pin, breaking the feature silently. Beyond that wiring detail it is a standard HDMI 2.0 cable at 18 Gbps for 4K at 60 Hz. A 5-meter length covers typical equipment-rack distances. Home-theater setups that chain device control across brands depend on the full pinout. Correctly wired cables cost $5 to $15.
