Maintenance
Proper care of your Deco Gear HDMI 2.0 cable will ensure its longevity and consistent performance.
- Cleaning: Keep the cable clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the connectors.
- Handling: Avoid bending the cable sharply or placing heavy objects on it, as this can damage the internal conductors. Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, not the cable itself.
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or excessive moisture.
