Product Features
Technical Overview
This High Speed HDMI cable implements the HDMI 2.0 specification with full 18Gbps bandwidth capacity, enabling support for 4K UHD content at 60 frames per second. The cable architecture includes 24/26 AWG conductors with aluminum mylar shielding that provides effective EMI protection, ensuring clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments. The HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) capability allows for network sharing between connected devices without requiring separate Ethernet cables.
The cable supports 32-channel audio transmission alongside video signals, maintaining synchronization between audio and visual elements. Audio Return Channel (ARC) functionality enables audio to be sent from a display back to an audio system through the same HDMI connection, simplifying home theater setups. Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) support allows for single remote control operation of multiple connected devices.
