HDMI 2.1 Cable – Certified 8K and 4K 120Hz Cable for Consoles and TVs
Various · Cables & Connectivity
HDMI 2.1 is the version that carries 4K at 120Hz and 8K signals, and it is one of the few cable purchases where the specification genuinely matters: an older cable will often produce a picture, but drop the high refresh rate that a console or a gaming PC is trying to output.
Look for cables described as certified Ultra High Speed, and buy the shortest length that reaches, since long runs are where cheap cables become unreliable. This is the cable to pair with a PS5, an Xbox Series X or a 120Hz television.

HDMI 2.1 8K Cable — frequently asked questions
- Do I need HDMI 2.1 for a PS5?
- For 4K at 120Hz, yes. At standard 4K 60Hz an older high-speed cable can be sufficient.
- Will an 8K cable work with a 4K TV?
- Yes, HDMI is backwards compatible; the cable simply carries whatever the devices negotiate.
- Does cable length matter?
- Longer runs are more demanding. Buy the shortest length that comfortably reaches, and look for certification on longer cables.
