Looks a bit cheap. My starting price for HDMI is £49.99. The digital ones start around that price.

Why? It was proven years ago that expensive cables are no better than cheap ones unless you are looking at over 3m in length.

It does claim ethernet right under the "Product Specifications, Documents & More" heading:

If it's HDMI 1.4 compliant, it has an Ethernet channel.

is there any equipment out there that has Ethernet-over-HDMI compatibility ?

1. HDMI 1.4 features an integrated Ethernet channel
The new version of HDMI adds a bi-directional IP data channel to allow devices to send and receive data at full Ethernet speeds (ie up to 100Mbps). This basically eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet cable and enables web-capable devices (with HDMI 1.4 connectors) to share their internet connection with other HDMI gadgets. For example, an HDMI 1.4-equipped amp could act as the internet hub of a home cinema system, sharing its broadband access with a connected TV or set-top box.
You might use a htpc or console that is wired via Ethernet port and use the HDMI as a connection to a smart tv so that you get wired reliability and speed.
That's the only thing I can think of and I'm not sure if that would work

Its all hypothetical, I don't know of any equipment that carries Ethernet over hdmi?

I have to say I don't either, guessing that you get it on higher end audio/home cinema equipment

I hope you realise how HDMI work. They are designed in such a way that they will either work or won't. Spending £49.99 or £20.00 or £2.00 they will all work the exact same. I hope you haven't paid more than £3.00 or you should be chasing a refund ASAP.

That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
Only get that level of detail with superior HDMI cables then.

Since normal electrical signals travel at close to the speed of light, how fast do they travel in a High Speed cable? Is this not likely to break the time space barrier and create a black-hole? On this basis, I'm voting cold.

I think these are just plastic end caps, not metal. They also seem to be in the old Game packaging, unless that's just a stock picture.
Personally I have started using the memory shape ones now for any connections that might be at risk. Similar to these:
Lacks some of the dynamic suppleness of its close rivals, and the colour palette may be too rich for some.

I looked into it a couple of years ago and whilst it can work in theory, in practice no device has the capability (or didn't at the time) of actually making it happen.
All marketing hype but it would be good if it did happen as behind my TV is a right mess with an 8-port hub. One ethernet cable to the TV and then from there using the HDMIs would be a lot tidier :smiley:

Its a feature of the 1.4 spec but you can ignore it as there are no low end devices that work with it.

I can confirm that after numerous purchase of cheap £1 - £2 region cost HDMI cables, all of them have proven to not last well and end up getting chucked out. However none of these were from CPC who have great customer service in my experience. I remain open minded about this particular item. The 1080 pixel resolution is quite low however.

I would spend a couple of quid more or one with an alternative casing instead of getting these. The metal casing eventually comes off (2 pieces are glued together). Mine still worked but after a few fiddles it's likely to come apart. Good for a cheap backup cable but won't last.

Do these include the macro 72-bit controller? If not, I assume it's got a bidirectional moshpit on the end? If not...I'd steer clear. I wouldn't touch an HDMI without the BDMosh for less than a tonne

I only buy cables that are hand made by Amazonian virgins using Unicorn mane for braiding, so personally I wouldn't lower my standards to use cheap cables like this to connect my Digihome freeview box and goodmans TV.

Just received the cable, there is no confirmation of HDMI 1.3 / 1.4 compliance on the box. In fact it appears to state a maximum resolution of 1080p which is very much not 1.4.
Yet to open and inspect the cable though. Can anyone else confirm before I send it back?
topss to WiPPaH2

Does it state 'High speed with ethernet' or something similar on the box? Cables are not 1.3/1.4 etc, they are categorised by the following:
Standard HDMI Cable
The Standard HDMI cable is designed to handle most home applications, and is tested to reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video – the HD resolutions that are commonly associated with cable and satellite television, digital broadcast HD, and upscaling DVD players.
Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet
This cable type offers the same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable shown above (720p or 1080i video resolution), plus an additional, dedicated data channel, known as the HDMI Ethernet Channel, for device networking. HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality is only available if both linked devices are HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled.
Standard Automotive HDMI Cable
Supports up to 720p/1080i (does not support HDMI Ethernet Channel). Since an automotive system may be wired with one or more internal relays that can affect signal strength, the Standard Automotive HDMI Cable needs to send a stronger signal than other cables types, so it is tested to higher performance standards.
High Speed HDMI Cable
The High Speed HDMI cable is designed and tested to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies such as 4K, 3D, and Deep Color. If you are using any of these technologies, or if you are connecting your 1080p display to a 1080p content source, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, this is the recommended cable.
High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

No mention of ethernet or high speed on the box either.
