Very impessive HDMI cable that appears to perform better than its 18Gbs spec WOW!!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I received this cable and a 10 metre version of the same cable fast thanks to Amazon Prime delivery.I installed the 10m cable to my 4k HDR Projector and the 5m cable from my Oppo 203 UHD Blu Ray Player to my Arcam AVR850 AV Receiver.The Projector HDMI synced really fast, faster than my previous HDMI setup and I tested the cables all the way up to 4K 60FPS 12 bit and 4.4.4 Chroma and this all seemed to work with no hiccups which is astonishing because that is above the 18Gbs specification.The cables come nicely packaged - they are very slim line so easy to install out of sight.The HDMI Connectors where all the "magic" happens are no bigger than you would expect from a quality HDMI cable and are also slimline.So far everything is working perfectly and I cant ask for anymore than I am getting.Very nice product at a very reasonable price for what you get with potential for future proofing as well - very highly recommended

Sorted. Finally!
Great cable, great solution!We’ve recently upgraded our home cinema (living room) projector, and had some challenges optimizing our new equipment. This review is for our new projector, but also for this cable which has finally helped us solve our biggest challenge. We replaced our 9 year old Optoma HD20 projector with the Optoma UHD300X projector, which increased our lumens from 1700 to 2200 (very helpful for the ambient light environment in our living room). The UHD300x is also 4K HDR which is a huge improvement in clarity and detail from our older model. To be honest, we sometimes just stare at the new picture in disbelief - it is THAT good! The 250,000:1 contract ratio is not even in the same league with the 4,000:1 contrast of our old unit. The perceived depth between objects, the way fabrics appear and move, facial textures and hair details, dark and night scenes, fast action, nature, animation...even Friends in HD Fromm Netflix is simply stunning! The colors are astonishing and SO RICH. Even the velvet sofa in Central Perk...a noticeable difference. We’ve only had it a month but so far, everything just looks so much better in every way. Ups along from blu-ray, or even DVD is really impressive too. Planet Earth II in 4K HDR is breathtaking. Setup and basic calibration were simple.Our 4K source is a new Apple TV 4K, and although i wont review it here, it is a great device too!Our issues started almost immediately when switching between HDMI HD and HDMI 4K on the projector inputs. We would get a half-screen image, a black screen with audio, or sometimes a flickering screen. Most could be resolved by shutting down the projector and waiting 30 seconds or so to power it up again. Not big stuff, but not what you hope for with new kit. It seemed to happen more often after using the 4K content and either switching to a different app on the Apple TV, or switching to Blu-Ray. On the Apple TV faults, the dropped signals, black or half or flickering screens happened mostly when a tv episode would end and the next would auto-play in apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime. It seemed like the box dropped the signal for a split second, but then passing that slight drop over the 5m cable to the projector was enough of a signal gap to cause the projector to display those faulty images.Our first cable was a 3m KabelDirekt slim series high speed HDMI. It worked pretty well and had very few drops except with Amazon Prime. Dropping my chroma settings to 4:2:0 helped the flickering and dropouts, but they still happened during every watching period... I also mismeasured and ordered 3m instead of 5m. My bad.Replacing that cable with the exact same spec and model but in the 5m length produced no signal at all. Tried several tests and couldn’t get it to pass any signal at all. Amazon refund, fair play to them for that.I next tried the Lindy Anthra high speed HDMI in 5m. This is a much thicker cable than the slim KabelDirekt and was very well made and sturdy! I was able to turn my chroma back to 4:4:4 and this cable passed the full 4K HDR content brilliantly. Very occasional black screens or half screens, but still most common with Amazon Prime. Although this was a big improvement, we still noticed a good bit of lag when switching content, and still had occasional sparkles and flashes on the screen. I feared that my 5m distance was just too long to pass enough data at the necessary speed. We even installed a high speed Ethernet cable directly between our Virgin media hub and our Apple TV. Super fast +200mbps connection eliminated any WiFI faults...This FeizLink cable had caught my attention as I researched possible solutions, but I was determined not to spend the extra money unless it was necessary. When the robust Lindy cable still showed those faults (again, much less than the other cables) I ordered this fiber optic HDMI. Arrived well packaged and seemed well made and yet quite flexible. (Before purchasing I asked questions on Amazon and heard back from the seller almost immediately, which was very helpful.) Short ending to long story: problems sorted. Finally! No dropouts, no half screens, no artifacts or sparkles! I think the picture is even sharper than with the Lindy cable. Still an occasional issue with auto play on Amazon, but nothing else.I may add that all the cables were rated at at least 18.2Gps and capable of 4K HDR at full chroma. I also tried using some 90 degree angle HDMI adapters, but noticed signal issues immediately with them, so returned them.I’m no expert, just a guy who really likes quality home cinema. I tried to be careful and methodical with my research and choices and installation. In my experience the Optoma UHD300x projector, Apple TV 4K, and this 5m Feislink HDMI cable provides an excellent solution for my home cinema upgrade. People using a close-by TV for 4K or a more expensive projector may have no need for this product. But this cable helped us solve our long distance, 4K HDMI issues brilliantly. A 10-12 ft 4K HDR image is really quite extraordinary!I will update this review later if any issues in performance or durability should arise.I hope this review will be helpful to others in similar situations.

Failed after just 16 months of light use!
Expensive cable that seemed worth it at the time, as my 4K projector was flickering when using cheaper cables. Worked fine for 15 months, then I started to get 'cable not hdcp compliant' messages from my Apple TV 4k. Turned on one day and no signal at all. Systematic trouble shooting ruled out all other causes in the chain (cinema amp/Apple TV/projector), leaving the cable as the culprit.Not good for this to fail so soon, bearing in mind the high initial cost. Proving that you don't always get quality if you pay the higher price!My advice is to avoid his brand!!

Does not support Sky Q 10-bit UHD
Second attempt at getting 10-bit Sky Q 4K UHD to a Denon AVR-X4700H and out to a Sony KDL-65ZD9. The first cable (CSL - 15m Ultra HD HDMI cable High Speed with Ethernet @£20) did not support 10-bit 4K UHD and displayed no picture or sound but worked fine at 8-bit UHD. This FeizLink cable did the same but gave up at 8-bit UHD after 15 minutes or so; no picture or sound and the HDMI plug on the Sky Q end of the cable was red hot. I now have a Ruipro on order as it seems to be the preferred long distance HDMI cable over at AVForums.UPDATE:The Ruipro cable exhibited exactly the same symptoms as this one did. However, it didn't fail after 15 minutes like the FeizLink.In the end, I extended the aerial cable from the Sky dish with an off-cut of Sky shotgun cable I had from a previous install and moved the Sky Q box next to the Denon amp. I then reused the previous HDMI cable which has completely resolved all issues and now have Sky Q in 10-bit UHD again.

Great cable, solved my 4k hdr issues
I had 2 12m hdmi cables running round my lounge, one from my Xbox One to 27" Monitor and the other from my PC to my 49" hdr TV. Whilst it worked, I was unable to run hdr and had some 4k issues over that distance. I had tried extenders, but this didn't make any difference and then discovered fibre optic hdmi cables, these were half the price of the ones I was recommended, so I gave them a try. I ran the cables, plugged them in and everything worked as expected, great full hdr picture. Remember these are directional, so check before running the cables.
