HDMI cable certification classes Compare cable bandwidth classes without assigning their capabilities to a source or display.
Cable / adapterNo drawing: not a physical form
P072 · Cable / adapter Premium High Speed HDMI cable class ≠ Cable / adapterNo drawing: not a physical form
P073 · Cable / adapter Ultra High Speed HDMI cable class ≠ Cable / adapterNo drawing: not a physical form
P074 · Cable / adapter Ultra96 HDMI cable class How they differ Premium High Speed, Ultra High Speed and Ultra96 are cable certification classes; they are not three physical HDMI connector shapes.
The certification programs attach their performance scope to the cable class rather than assigning features to a connected source/display. S056 · S052 · S057 · S052 · S057 The current verification information identifies the actual cable brand, model and length; verify that product instead of relying on a broad HDMI version label. S516 · S516 What this comparison does not establish: A certified cable class does not establish every optional endpoint feature or prove a particular end-to-end mode. S056 · S052 · S057 · S052 · S057
Choose the next check Check the cable’s genuine certification information and exact length, then both endpoint mode requirements.
