It is certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, so 4K\/120, 8K\/60 and video up to 10K are covered. Solid Long-Grain Copper conductors carry the signal, and all 19 of them are controlled for direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eCertified Ultra High Speed, 48Gbps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eFour balanced audio\/video pairs each carry 12Gbps to reach the 48Gbps that HDMI 2.1 asks for. AudioQuest says that bandwidth enables 4K\/120 and 8K\/60, Dynamic HDR, and the enhanced gaming features of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Every AudioQuest HDMI cable also stays backwards compatible with your 4K gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSolid Long-Grain Copper With Level-1 Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says solid conductors defeat the strand-to-strand interaction that distorts a signal in stranded cable. Because 100% shielding can't stop noise from Wi-Fi and cell devices, all 19 conductors, including the eARC pair and the drains, are controlled for direction so radio noise drains away from those sensitive circuits.\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;\"\u003ePearl 48 ends in a full-size HDMI plug at each end.
