It complies with HDMI 2.0b standards, and supports up to 18Gbps of bandwidth, perfect for home theatre setups, 4K gaming, or video streaming on a 4K display. This compact adapter can be placed behind your AV equipment and powered via USB, either from a wall charger or an available USB port on your TV.
