Kramer C-HMU HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed Cable with Ethernet
Kramer C-HMU – Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, 8K at 60 Hz
The Kramer C-HMU is a professional Ultra High Speed HDMI cable developed for modern AV installations where the highest possible picture and sound quality is required. With support for resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz, full 48 Gbps bandwidth, Dynamic HDR and eARC, it is ready for current and future televisions, projectors, games consoles and home-cinema systems.
Kramer's K-Lock™ connectors, triple-shielded construction and a connector height of only 3.1 mm make the cable particularly suitable for installation behind wall-mounted televisions, inside media cabinets and in professional AV racks where space is limited.
Benefits
- Resolution up to 8K at 60 Hz with 48 Gbps bandwidth
- Dynamic HDR and broad colour-space support: RGB, YCbCr, xvYCC, Adobe sRGB, sYCC601 and BT.2020
- eARC and HDMI Ethernet Channel
- K-Lock™ connectors with 15 lb retention force
- Low 3.1 mm connector height for confined installations
eARC for high-resolution audio
Support for eARC, Enhanced Audio Return Channel, lets a television send uncompressed multichannel audio back to a receiver or soundbar through the same HDMI cable. This makes the cable a good choice when the television, receiver and audio system need to work together without a separate audio cable.
Ideal for confined installations
The short 3.1 mm connector section is considerably easier to accommodate than many traditional HDMI cables with bulky connectors – a noticeable advantage behind a wall-mounted television or inside a full media cabinet.

PC & HiFi Örebro recommends
The Kramer C-HMU is our choice when you want full HDMI bandwidth with headroom, for example for 4K gaming at 120 Hz, 8K content or eARC between a television and receiver. Its low-profile connector is particularly convenient behind a wall-mounted television. A simpler High-Speed cable such as the Kramer C-HM/HM is sufficient for a Full HD projector or older media player. For distances greater than 3 m, we recommend an active optical HDMI cable or HDBaseT extender to maintain full bandwidth.
