£27.49 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £22.90 ex‑VAT on a 10 m HDMI run, this ATEN cable is a sensible buy if you need a reliable “just works” link between a laptop/PC and a display in a meeting room. The big practical win is the Ethernet support (useful if you’re leveraging HDMI network features), and ATEN generally doesn’t cut corners on basic signal stability. For most straightforward boardroom setups running at around 30Hz, you’re unlikely to notice any drama—handshakes tend to be consistent and you’re less likely to get the annoying intermittent sync issues you see with cheaper generics.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re trying to push higher frame rates or you have a particularly noise‑prone environment (lots of power cables, long runs through ducting with interference, etc.). Also, if you’re not actually using the “Ethernet over HDMI” function, you’re effectively paying for overhead you may never exploit—though the price is still fair for a branded 10 m lead. Overall: good value for corporate AV installs where reliability matters, but don’t expect miracles beyond what your source/display chain can realistically deliver over 10 m.
