HDMI High Speed (2.0)
18 Gbps HDMI cable supporting 4K@60Hz with HDR. The mainstream cable for 4K TVs, streaming devices, and Blu-ray players.
The High Speed HDMI 2.0 cable carries 18 Gbps, enough for 4K at 60 Hz with high dynamic range, and remains the mainstream choice for the bulk of home-entertainment gear. That bandwidth covers 4K televisions, streaming sticks, and Blu-ray players, which rarely exceed 4K 60 Hz output. Its lower signaling rate tolerates longer passive runs than HDMI 2.1, with 5 meters practical before boosting is required. HDR metadata passes alongside the video for wider color and contrast on compatible displays. Ubiquitous and cheap, it sits at the value end of the category. Retail prices commonly land between $5 and $15.
