What is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and are your HDMI cables HDCP compliant?

HDCP and HDMI Cable Compliance

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is an encryption protocol developed by Intel to protect digital content as it travels across connections between devices. This technology:

  • Prevents unauthorized copying/recording of premium digital content
  • Creates a secure handshake between source devices (Blue-ray players, streaming devices) and display devices (TVs, monitors)
  • Has evolved through multiple versions (HDCP 1.4, 2.2, 2.3) with increasing security levels
  • Is required to view many streaming services and protected content at full resolution

HDMI Cable HDCP Compliance

All HDMI cables from our product line are fully HDCP-compliant. Important points to understand:

  • HDCP compliance is determined by the devices, not the cables themselves
  • Any standard HDMI cable can transmit HDCP-protected signals
  • Our cables support all current HDCP versions (1.4, 2.2, and 2.3)

For optimal performance, ensure both your source device and display support the same HDCP version required by your content.
