Rode Premium HDMI Cable 1.5m, 4K60 HDMI 2.0 with Ethernet, Blue

Rode Premium HDMI Cable (1.5 m, Blue): A 4K HDMI Run You Can Spot at a Glance

The Rode Premium HDMI Cable is a High Speed HDMI 2.0 cable with Ethernet, 4.9 ft (1.5 m) long, built to move up to 4K video at 60 frames per second across a professional signal chain. It uses full-size HDMI Type A connectors on both ends and professional-grade cabling rated for 18 Gbps, so a clean 4K picture travels reliably from your source to your display. One glance tells you which lead carries the picture, even mid-shoot.

What 18 Gbps and HDMI 2.0 Actually Deliver

The number that matters most on an HDMI cable is its bandwidth, and this one carries the full 18 Gbps that the HDMI 2.0 specification allows. That headroom is exactly what a 4K image needs to run at 60 frames per second -- four times the pixels of 1080p, refreshed twice as often as the 4K30 that older High Speed cables often top out at -- with room to spare for high-dynamic-range color information. In practice that means smooth, tear-free 4K60 up to 4096 x 2160, whether the source is a mirrorless camera, a gaming console, a computer, or a capture device. A cable that cannot pass 18 Gbps forces a lower resolution or frame rate; this one lets your gear run at its full capability.

The Ethernet Channel and a Build Made for Real Use

The "with Ethernet" designation is not just a label -- it means the cable includes the HDMI Ethernet Channel, a dedicated data lane that lets two compatible devices share a single network connection over the same HDMI run and removes the need for a separate Ethernet cable between them. That same channel carries the Audio Return Channel, so a compatible display can send audio back down the cable to a receiver or soundbar. Around that wiring sits professional-grade construction: copper conductors for stable conductivity, a durable PVC jacket, and high-quality connectors that hold a firm, repeatable fit through the constant plugging and unplugging of production work. The blue jacket makes this run instantly identifiable in a bundle of look-alike cables, so tracing the video feed from source to display takes a second, not a minute.

Where the Blue 1.5 m Cable Fits

At 4.9 ft (1.5 m) it is sized for short, tidy runs -- a camera to an on-rig monitor, a console to a nearby display, or a capture card to a computer on the same desk -- with just enough slack and no coil of excess cable to manage. It is at home anywhere a clean 4K HDMI link is needed: feeding HDMI sources into a Rode RODECaster Video, sending a camera's output to an on-camera or studio monitor, connecting a console or computer to a 4K display, or running a capture card for streaming and recording. This is the cable for creators who color-code a busy signal chain -- a dependable blue 4K lead that carries a full-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 signal and is easy to identify, route, and rely on shoot after shoot.
