Solid Long-Grain Copper conductors carry the signal, all 19 of them controlled for direction. AudioQuest guarantees the full 18Gbps bandwidth that 4K HDR, 8K\/30 video and eARC need, at its lowest HDMI price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSolid Long-Grain Copper, Guaranteed 18Gbps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says solid conductors defeat the electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, a major source of distortion in cables. Its Long-Grain Copper has fewer grain boundaries than ordinary copper. BlueBerry is guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for 8K\/30 video, High Dynamic Range and eARC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eLevel-1 Noise-Dissipation on All 19 Conductors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says 100% shielding can't guard against noise from today's Wi-Fi and cell devices. So every conductor in BlueBerry, the picture pairs, the eARC pair, the ground drains and the control lines, is controlled for direction. Radio noise drains away from the circuits it would otherwise upset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe HDMI Plugs, Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBlueBerry 18 ends in a full-size HDMI plug at each end. HDMI is the flat 19-pin plug on every TV, projector, receiver and console. One cable carries picture, sound and the control signals that let the devices talk.
