Technical Overview
This HDMI cable operates at a full 18 Gbit/s data transfer rate, sufficient for uncompressed 4K video, multi-channel audio, and Ethernet data over a single connection. It utilizes 19 conductors within a 28 AWG wire gauge, optimized for minimal signal loss over its 16-foot length. The connectors feature gold plating to reduce oxidation and maintain consistent electrical contact, while aluminum Mylar foil shielding provides effective EMI protection against interference.
The cable supports HDMI 2.0 features including Audio Return Channel (ARC), which allows audio to be sent from a display back to an AV receiver, simplifying home theater setups. It is a passive cable, requiring no external power, and is halogen-free with corrosion-resistant materials, making it suitable for various indoor installations.
