High Speed HDMI Cable

ハイスピードHDMIケーブル

A Nintendo branded HDMI 2.0 cable capable of 4K60 signals, included with the OLED Switch. It is also compatible with the original Switch, classic Nintendo mini consoles, and the Wii U.

Description

Both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U ship with HDMI 1.4 cables (WUP-008), capable of 1080p at 60Hz. With the Switch OLED model, Nintendo introduced this slightly revised HDMI cable, which was more flexible and built to higher quality standards. The OLED dock itself added an HDMI 2.0 port, but the console still outputs at 1080p60 max, so this newer cable’s higher bandwidth isn’t utilised.

In practice, all Nintendo consoles and classic mini systems prior to the Switch 2 can rely on standard high‑speed HDMI 1.4 cables, meaning any modern HDMI cable will work. Nintendo’s official cables are branded and sized for convenience, but they don’t offer unique technical advantages. The Switch 2 console would similarly adopt a HDMI 2.1 cable with the dock’s chipset supporting 2.1 but in practice it operates within HDMI 2.0 specs.
