Description
QED Performance Optical ULTRA HS HDMI
Optical Ultra High Speed HDMI is our most advanced long cable yet
It is designed to transfer image and sound with up to a wild 48 Gb/s capacity, thanks to which the compressed 10K@120Hz or uncompressed 8K@60Hz video resolution and Dolby Atmos sound reproduction can be transmitted far from 7.5 to 20 meters away. This high performance HDMI 2.1 certified cable is the perfect solution for modern AV installations and can handle all current HDMI standards.
Engineering background
QED has been designing and manufacturing superior analog and digital cables for over 45 years, and its new Performance Optical Ultra High Speed HDMI cable is based on the results of the company's in-depth cable design research since 1995.
Ingenious hybrid construction
QED's innovative Ultra High Speed Active Optical Technology™ hybrid design combines a copper core and an optical fiber, which together are capable of pure image and sound transmission over very long distances, without an external power source.
Pure copper conductor cables with a length of more than three meters easily cause breaks in the 48 Gb/s HDMI signal, so that it can no longer be reliably decoded at the receiving end. By replacing four of the nineteen copper cores with optical fiber, losses (due to impedance mismatch) or timing variations (due to crosstalk) do not degrade data transmission over longer cable distances.
QED's HDMI warranty
All of QED's HDMI cables undergo rigorous mandatory testing at the HDMI Forum's authorized testing center to ensure compatibility with the new 2.1 video standards and to ensure low levels of electromagnetic radiation to reduce interference with wireless networks, streaming media players, Bluetooth devices and mobile phones the possibility of occurring disturbances.
QED Ultra High Speed Active Optical Technology™ ensures that this cable is fully certified and operates at 48 Gb/s data transfer speed and all data and control signals required by HDMI 2.1 up to 20 meters - regardless of brand or type of 2.1 a combination of compatible devices is used.
This cable is HDCP 2.2 compliant and fully CEC, DDC, HDR, HEC and eARC compliant and has received the HDMI Forum's official seal of approval from an accredited laboratory in the form of the instantly recognizable Ultra High Speed Certification Program logo on the packaging. You can scan the QR code on the label with the official HDMI app, and you can be sure that the cable is a genuine QED Ultra Speed Active Optical HDMI cable.
Fire safe
Professional installers or AV hobbyists looking to hide the cable in house structures can rest assured that the cable's Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket and internal components are all certified and fully compliant with the latest EN 50575:2014 regulations. This covers cables for general applications in construction work subject to fire safety requirements that apply in England and the EU.
High dynamic range
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is an image technology that offers a higher contrast ratio and brightness. HDR guarantees a spectacular picture with more details in both bright and shadow areas. HDR is often also accompanied by Wide Color Gamut (WCG), which offers an expanded color palette. The new QED Performance Optical Ultra High Speed HDMI cable copes with these requirements without any problems.
