I used it to connect my Nvidia Shield to my TV. It works perfectly and seems good quality

An amendment to my earlier review, I bought the 50ft cable and had no issues. Could be the cable was bad or that extra 15ft made the difference, either way I’ll bump back up to 4 stars because I have had no issues with the 50ft version at 4k 120hz HDR.

Saw the rave reviews and picked up the GEN3B 65ft version to pair my 3090 with my LG CX TV. This cable was able to display the picture but got endless stuttering and hiccups, basically unusable.

I was initially apprehensive about buying this cable, as HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed Cable spec does not call out 5 meter lengths. I’m so glad I made the jump. Ran the cable from a Xbox Series X to a LG B9, both latest firmware and setup up initially at 4K/60Hz/8Bit . Went into settings and changed 1st to 120Hz & 2nd 10Bit. I also disabled “Allow 4:2:2”. Don’t know if order was necessary, but setup worked like a champ. Cable is rated for 48Gbps and my settings are pushing at 40.1Gps (4K/120HZ/10BIT), which is the current limit for the HDMI on the Series X and the B9/C9 & BX/CX. Everything ran for 4hrs straight with no glitches.

Connecting a ceiling mounted Optoma UHD51A to a PS5
Unfortunately I was not able to connect, although I don’t think it was the cable’s fault.

I managed to get a full 4K HDR picture but for some reason coming back the next day the cable stops working. I suspect that the usb power boost doesn’t work correctly when plugged into the optoma and fails to sync the image correctly

This means you have to keep booting the ps5 in safe mode (and sometimes even this won’t work)

Contacted customer service and got a replacement cable for free. This one worked a little better but eventually the same problem started occurring.

Customer service was beyond excellent and I feel bad for having returned the cable and getting a refund after all the effort they put in place to sort my problems.

Five stars for their support.

I bought this cable in an attempt to resolve an issue I was having with a new AV setup involving Apple TV4K and an AV Receiver. The 10m 4K HDMI cable I was using from quite a big well known high end cable company seemed to dislike it when I enabled the higher chroma settings on the Apple TV and was dropping the picture with some higher frame rate 4K Content. I decided to try the Ruipro (GEN3 version) as although I don’t need 8K support I thought it might help, and it has done the trick. I am now able to run the higher chroma settings etc from Apple TV with no issues. Cable seems well made and is much smaller and flexible than some of the more chunky HDMI cables. Very pleased so far. Please note I ordered through Amazon but went for delivery from Ruipro to ensure I got the latest Gen 3 cable.

Using this cable to connect my HDMI 2.1 AV receiver and LG CX OLED TV. Using eARC and 4K 120hz with no problems. Would recommend.

Despite what some of the reviews say, RUIPRO are now shipping Gen 3 versions of this cable, and it works flawlessly – 4K 120, HDR, VRR, RGB 444, 12 bit color. I’m running this with a LG C9 and RTX 3080. I repeat, EVERYTHING WORKS and you’ll be receiving a GEN 3 cable or better when you do. Some of their older versions shipped did have problems, hence the negative comments saying C9/3080 combo doesn’t work. The VALUE FOR MONEY piece obviously is not great, hence why I removed some stars there. I get that this tech is new and getting HDMI 2.1 to work properly in a long cable length is not the easiest thing.

Bought this cable for my PS4, and I noticed an immediate improvement in both contrast, and brightness quality. Before buying this cable my PS4 picture quality was always dark, no matter what settings I tried on my Panasonic 4K tv. Picture also looked sharper. Now using it on my new PS5 console, and delighted with picture quality. This cable is well made, great value, and I would have no hesitation buying it again, and recommending it to others.

My A/V Amp a Denon sits at the back of our lounge while the TV a LG Oled is at the front . So I needed at least a 20m cable. Initially I purchased another fibre optic cable and I will not reveal the make to save the manufacturer from criticism . Every so often I got a grey screen so it was returned and when the refund was made. I then done a thorough research and then decided to purchase this RUIPRO 8K 20m HDMI 2.1 Cable . I firstly gave it a trial run for a few days before installing it in its permanent loop. The picture quality of this cable is absolutely stunning. I know it is expensive but having said that. It is also future proof as far as when the 8k TV ‘s come on stream . So as far as I am concerned ,it is a investment . Very happy with this cable and I would like to fully recommend it .

Update: I wasnt able to get in touch through customer support but I replied to their autmated e-mail from Amazon and they informed me this was an issue with the initial run of cables. They have since sent me an updated one and its been working great for over a week not. The updated cable has red and green writing on the connectors. If you get one with grey writing its the old defective one.

Same issue as others on here. 4k at 120hz cuts out constantly. I assume its a bandwidth issue since the short cable that came with my Xbox works just fine.

Got a handful of these for future proofing. Unfortunately the only HDMI 2.1 capable device I have is my TV which is an LG W9 OLED. Using these cables to connect my Ultra HD Blu Ray Player (Panasonic UB9000) and PS4 – all works fine. So at least HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 is working absolutely fine. I am able to receive HDR/Dolby Vision and 4k/60 without problems.

I will be able to test the HDMI 2.1 capabilities of this cable when the PS5 arrives next week. I will update this review then with my findings.

Good cable, fits securely. Not had an issues with the cable.

This represents excellent value for money. My amp has a tester system and this passes for 8k 60 which far more expensive cables couldn’t manage. It seems well made for the price point and rugged.
No complaints at all and highly recommended.

Excellent reliable cable and good quality. I used this for a 15m run from AVR to projector and no issues with 4K, just note the cable is directional.

Works perfect, really happy with the quality of this cable.

I used this cable to connect my fire cube to a 4K tv and it works perfectly fine.

Is about the best quality long distance operational HDMI can get.
Have a new projector. Get new one each 4 years, and now the performance can be 4K if streaming etc, so must have decent low loss cable. They are not cheap, but essential if want best picture quality.
Have a long run across roof, and down wall, and then to cabinet, so had to go for something decent…………

I need a 7m run from my AV Receiver to my TV and regular High-Speed HDMI cables just weren’t cutting it. I kept getting picture and sound dropouts when using the 4K Bluray player and Xbox One X and I tried quite a few different cables. This 10m Fibre HDMI cable solved all that. Is it worth the 87 I paid for it during Black Friday? Absolutely not, no HDMI cable is worth that sort of money but it solved my issues so I’m happy enough. Because it’s so expensive I can’t rate it with 5 stars though.

10 meters is its specialty. The new TV bought on the Black Friday, with this line, the effect is really good, and the characteristics of the OLED TV can be perfectly expressed.
The 10-meter cable can better allow me to switch between various computers and projectors, and each function works perfectly

Bought this to replace a 20m hdmi lead i recently installed in trunking, the one i originally had installed was connected to my av reciever and tv, worked ok for 4k but not 4k hdr (I was getting sound but no image)

Now installed this cable and getting 4k hdr perfectly!
very expensive but does what I wanted it to do, if you are doing a long hdmi run and want 4k hdr fibre optic is the way to go

I was finally able to get my 4:2:2 Chroma settings on my Apple TV 4K over the 12 m I needed. Before buying the cables I also had to contact RUIPRO with some questions and they were fast to respond and were able to answer all my concerns. Great company to deal with and a great product. Highly recommended!

Before purchasing my first projector I read Av Forums threads on the Optoma UHD65. Time and time again new owners who had issues were straight our told a projector requiring a HDMI cable longer than 30″ needed a cable of this quality. It’s expensive but I avoided all the heart/head aches so many first time projector owners were having. The cable is simply reliably works, making the expense justified.

Update 10/9/2018: It works!

RUIPRO sent me a new/updated revision of the cable. I tested it in the low power situation that formerly made HDCP 2.2 fail on the Roku Ultra test, and had no such problems with this latest revision. Everything passed with flying colors and I can now recommend this cable.

Past history (9/2018 revision):
———————————–
12m cable failed the Roku Ultra’s HDCP 2.2 test – it reported it as 1.4 compliant. I swapped with a 3m amazon basics cable to ensure I could obtain HDCP 2.2 compliance and verified that this RUIPRO cable was the point of failure. This is unfortunate as I purchased this cable based on both the manufacturer’s specification of HDCP 2.2 and others’ reports.

EDIT:
——–
9/06/2018: Emailed [email protected] as they requested – never received a response.
9/12/2018: After ordering another cable rated HDCP 2.2 – I found the same issue.
9/25/2018: Received a response from support, 21 days after submitting request.

Direct connect from Roku Ultra to the LG OLED65C8PUA (and 55 variation for that matter) would NOT pass Roku’s HDCP 2.2 test. On a hunch, I pulled my remote processor out of the rack and connected it Roku Ultra -> Emotiva XMC-1 -> LG TV and both cables PASSED the HDCP 2.2 test.

So, in the end, I returned this cable and changed the rating to a 3 star because:
1. The cable does not work direct from a Roku Ultra – in my case that is ok but should be disclosed that some devices may not be able to provide sufficient power to pass HDCP 2.2 tests
2. Support requested I contact them and they did not respond in 6 days time
3. It did work with my processor powering the cable

Disaster! That’s how I would describe my opening the box experience with RUIPRO’s fiber optic 15m cable I had just received along with my over studied, analyzed and researched 4k Laser projector.

Don’t get me wrong. There simply was no other cable as beautifully packed as this one. The foam covers around the connector edges. The plastic protectors on the cable ends. The velcro straps. . . oh the velcro straps. . . We are talking cable fasteners on a whole different level here.

But what good was all this fancy stuff for a cable that did not work. DARN IT! I knew I shoulda gotten for that ‘certified’ option everyone was talking about on that AV forum. I didn’t. I went for Amazon’s reviewers option instead. What do 123 people with 4.5 stars reviews know? NOTHING! IT DIDN’T WORK! No signal. Zip. Zilch. NADA!

The realization of having spent upwards of two hundred bucks on a freakin cable was upon me. What made matters worse was the fact that I did have a 30 meter non optic HDMI cable dating back to the Clinton administration (ok, maybe Obama first term.) That ages old cable worked. Flawlessly. Why did I spend all that money for nothing. I SHOULDA GOTTEN THE CERTIFIED CABLE. Not this crap.

So the installer arrived. Good, time to unload all that frustration on the first innocent soul around. Besides, he’s getting paid for it so the poor guy (very cool dude actually) can’t complain.

So am walking out with all that frustration already thinking of the million ways I could trash this crap on the internet based on my lenghly knowledge of cable technology when cool dude turns around and says. . . “boss, did you check the terminals? Fiber optic cables need source and a display ends to match.”

Of course, they were not.

Flipped the ends. Ran a gazillion test (so that I don’t entirely look like a fool), it worked. Flawlessly.

Thank you RUIPRO. Your cable is embarrassingly good. 🙂

I use this cable to run through the wall and ceiling to connect my Optoma uhd 60 projector to my Avr receiver. It’s the only cable that has worked. Please note this cable is unidirectional meaning make sure you connect He correct end to hour receiver and display. I didn’t the first time 🙁

Excellent cable. Works after flawlessly so far 4K @ 60 Hertz over 15 meters. Tried cheaper cables without success claiming to be V2.0 compliant. Expensive right enough but does the job.

Bought the 15m long version to connect to a PC, after many failed attemps with regular HDMI cables

Works perfectly at 4k@60fps, Full RGB/4:4:4 Chroma, no flicker, no “noise”, amazing stuff 🙂

Definitely pricey, but rock-solid performance from this cable. I’m using it to connect my Xbox One X to my Optoma UHD 60 4K projector, and there are absolutely no issues with it. If you’re splurging on the upgrade to the 4K HDR world, you might as well go all in and get a cable that will give you trouble-free performance, and this one is it.

Advice is often given that all HDMI cables are essentially the same…either it carries the signal or it doesn’t. True to a point, but after pulling my hair out on my previous cable rated for 3D, 4K, blah blah blah and not figuring out why the picture wasn’t what it was supposed to be I realized that this isn’t true. The previous cable was only rated at 10.2 GBPS at 60 HZ while this one is certified (important) to carry 18 GBPS at 60 HZ. This solved my problems and no, not all HDMI cables are the same.

I bought this cable (15m) based on various website recommendations. For testing, I unwound about two meters and tried it between an Amazon Fire TV 4k box and a Samsung 55″ UHD TV. At first it was good, but then I noticed some picture disturbance (HDCP snow) and audio clicks. Touching the source end (Fire TV) cable connector made things worse and the picture disappeared for a short time. A normal (cheap, 2m) HDMI cable worked fine – even when moved.

So, the cable is being returned for refund. I’ve ordered another and will update this review very soon. Hopefully this was just a one-off bad cable – but it doesn’t bode well for quality control.

—- UPDATE —-

Second cable arrived and so far seems fine. I ran the same test and no problems were seen at 1080p60 or 4k30. I don’t have a 4k60 (18Gbps) source so couldn’t test that.

Worth noting that the cable did NOT come with any HDMI dust covers – which is vital if you’re installing the cable somewhere, which given its length is quite likely. The serial number label fell of the cable, but the general construction seems good.

So now up from 2 stars to 4. If I get any issues, I’ll update this review again.

I just upgraded most of my home entertainment system, and one of the specs on my new equipment was the ability to show HDR 4k@60fps (4:4:4).

I bought the 33′ foot RUIPRO Fiber HDMI cord because I read a report on avsforums that this HDMI can pass HDR 4k@60fps.

There’s only 1 movie that I’m aware of right now (Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk on UHD) that utilizes those specs, so I bought it as my test material. I first tested that movie with the current HDMI cord (32′ Binary HDMI 1.4 cable) and HDR was being down-converted to SDR.

With this new HDMI, I was able to get HDR! I was also happy that the cord was very flexible and had, what appeared to be, nice solid HDMI connectors. The cord was also very light and was packaged well double boxed.

Be aware that these are active HDMI cords, so you need to connect the correct end to your display (projector/tv) and the correct end to your source (Blu-ray player, HDMI out on AVR, etc). At each end of the cord it specifies which end it needs to be connected to. No additional power source is required for this active cable, like my last active cable.

For those of you who may be interested, I’m using the Sony UBP-X800 UHD Blu-ray player, Yamaha RX-A3060 AVR, and JVC RS420 projector.
