Product Features
Technical Overview
This HDMI 2.0 cable utilizes gold-plated connectors with aluminum Mylar foil shielding to minimize EMI/RFI interference and ensure corrosion-resistant, reliable signal integrity. The 30 AWG conductors support a full 18Gbps data transfer rate, enabling uncompressed 4K video at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Advanced features include Audio Return Channel (ARC) for simplified audio system integration and compatibility with HDCP 2.2 content protection for streaming and Blu-ray playback.
The cable's gripping connector design incorporates a latching mechanism that resists accidental disconnection due to vibration, tension, or incidental handling. This is particularly valuable in mounted equipment, video walls, or security systems where access is limited. The Santoprene/TPE jacket material offers excellent flexibility and strain relief, maintaining performance in tight installation spaces while being fully RoHS and WEEE compliant.
