World's First Certified HDMI 2.1 Cable (Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable) from Zeskit

[@iFedericoFellini]

Bought two of these a while back. Had success with them and was happy, so I ordered another one recently. The new one came with the certification sticker, and the box was little different. Glad to know I picked a winner.

I have been using the 15ft and 6ft zeskit cables with zero issues going from PS5 to TSR-700 receiver to my old-ish Samsung 4K tv. Awesome cables. They deliver on what they promise. If anyone’s on the fence on these hope off it and buy yourself a set. No regrets on my end!

@HDTVTEST On the CX. There is a HDMI diagnostics menu. First open up the hidden menu by highlighting programme manager, then press 1 five times. Then it will show you host memory frame rate etc, but you can actually highlight hdmi mode*. Select it and this will open up a hdmi diagnostic menu. Pretty useful so i just thought id share. Especially if you have a c9( or are on older firmware for cx like me.)

@TheStyles4life That's a joke, right? 😅 If not, I'm not trying to start a flame war but no, please, nobody buy that. HDMI is DIGITAL. All that crap that talk about to justify their price is complete snake oil.

[@TheeThunderGod]

What he's saying is lets see if there's a difference cuz not all hdmi cords that ARE NOT CERTIFIED work properly. Some that aren't certified actually wont give u full 48GBPS. This is a lil different than hdmi 2.0 cords where even the non-certified ones worked just fine. These are a lil more complicated for now.

[@raffeal247]

I just stumbled upon these Zeskit cables recently. I bought one and liked it so much that I bought two more (one for my PS4 Pro, the other for my Directv box). Very impressive. 😊👍🏽

[@RyeRyeL]

This guys sense of humour is pure gold. I just spent 13 minutes watching a video on HDMI cables and didn't die of boredom. I just ordered the 5M Maxonar (Certified) - This is to connect my 3090 to my LG BX 4k 120Hz OLED. Hoping it actually works at the cost for £28 for a cable. I guess I've spend this much on a GPU and TV, I may as well waste more on a cable.

[@dgould347]

Rocketfish in the US via Best Buy had the 1st certified HDMI 2.1 Cables. Although they cost more, I purchased 1 while waiting on Zeskit to finally get certified/QR code labels.

[@RMYD002]

Bought these last December. Quality is great and haven't had an issue yet. Havent been able to fully utilize since I'm still waiting on a solid AV reciever that is sub $600 and that supports 2.1 and waiting on my ps5 to ship.

[@javiej]

Nice video. Thanks for the Denon cable test trick, I didn't knew it. But if we talk about hdmi cable qualities I am missing one important aspect, which is durability. Most people ignore it but many cheap cables (both audio and hdmi) work fine first months but they oxidize over the time and start causing glitches later. It would be great if you could mention how they aged in one of your future videos after one year or so.

[@csabakonczig919]

Great product, thanks for your recommendation.

[@DramaFreeGaming]

I ordered these cables several months ago to prepare for next gen consoles and beyond. They run inside my wall and are the real deal. Highly recommended

[@MikeMcCrary]

I bought 4 of the 5m in-wall rated Zeskit cables about a week and a half ago for my 65" GX install. Unfortunately, due to the thickness, using all 4 of them resulted in the TV being unable to be flush-mounted the way it was designed. After some troubleshooting with the installers, they came back out and ended up running 1 of the Zeskit cables and 3 AudioQuest 48 cables (2 10ft Pearl, 1 10ft Forest for E-ARC). It would have been all Pearl due to price, but all of the stores around me only had a cable here and a cable there, couldn't find 3 Pearls in-stock locally. Yes, I know they are snake oil cables. And the price hurts. But, the Pearls and Forest were the only thinner 48Gbps cables I could find that were in-wall rated as of November 2020. I know Rocketfish just came out with a line, but they look to be equally as thick as the Zeskit. I just hope the Audioquests are up to par. Currently using one on my PS5 and am not noticing anything off, but then again the bandwidth on the PS5 is limited as of now as we all know.

Good to know that Zeskit 5m cable works for 4K 120hz! I've bought RTX 3080 for my LG C9 and spent hours to make it work for 4K 120hz and failed. Even active optical cable (which advertised as 48Gbps bandwidth and $80 price!) didn't work. I had to pull off the bundle cable for PS5 and put it for PC. It worked, of course. So I'm looking for a 5m cable and you it looks like HDTVTest found one for me. 😂 Shame they don't sell in Korea. My cables are being shipped across the pacific.

As I said earlier buddy it's all about type of metals and purity of metals - that's what transfers huge amounts of data better than lesser cables - then length is next important.

[@georgelopez9411]

Certification is really starting to get out of hand. Most HDMI 2.1 cables on Amazon are not certified. Even many cables claiming to be "Ultra High Speed HDMI certified" on their product pages, aren't in reality (after checking the comments). Sadly, Zeskit isn't carried in my Amazon. At this point, I'll be waiting for the pandemic to blow over so I can physically go to the local shop and get a cable which I can scan myself before checkout.

[@Singkhorn.S]

"..because you desire a longer lenght.. don't we all" damn

[@sleepinglama14]

You would definitely need a fiber optic cable for that length. Copper cables will max out at 5m for HDMI 2.1 signals

[@Layarion]

"ultra high speed HDMI cable" ya you could name it that...or you could make it sensible and say "2.1 certified"

[@soylencer]

They could also have figured out their standard the sensible manner that aligned the type of cable with the version of the port. That would at least allow people to speak about both things at the same time without being confusing.

[@sircod]

Most people will have more problems memorizing version numbers, and this standard will be relevant for versions beyond 2.1.

[@94Tally]

Well tbh.. Call of Duty Cold War with the PS5 HDMO cable didn't allow me to run 4k 120hz. No screen blackouts, just a fuzzy line down the middle of the TV. Changed the cable to a HDMI 8K cable from Amazon (2 for £20) and now runs 120 with no issues..

For sure if there is 5m cable, there has to be a 15m version. Especially if one of those cables is maybe an optic fiber version..." Nope. Those are max 5m. I was too optimistic too soon. Btw there are on amazon 15m optic fiber cables but they are not certified - like Vincent mentioned at start of recording - soo such comparison that Vincent suggested at start would be extremly desirable. Becouse how should I know which one of them truly works like intended/as advertised... Or should I just wait for 15m optic fiber certified ?
