CORE 0.5m HDMI 2.0b Cable, 4K60, 18Gbps, 30AWG

CORE PRO Series HDMI cables support full 18Gbps uncompressed bandwidth, supporting resolutions/refresh rates up to 4K@60Hz. They are only manufactured with the full 19 conductors (there are companies that use 14 conductors inside the cable even though their HDMI connector has 19 pins). This ensures the full HDMI High Speed with Ethernet specification is delivered so that you can enjoy crystal-clear visuals with vibrant colours and sharp details.

When developing a product, at CORE we always compare and test raw materials to find the best, no matter the cost. That's why we developed Ultra-Flex®, a composite material that is very flexible and smooth with a matte finish, allowing the cable to have a tight bend radius without any damage to the internal structure. 

Additionally, at only 23mm long (including strain relief) and 19mm wide, the low-profile and narrow custom casing makes installs easier in tight areas and offers a clean finish. Inside the casing, a protective gel is used for strain relief to provide incredible pull strength for removing the cable from an HDMI socket as well as bend strength at the connector.

Furthermore, there is an added layer of shielding in the connector's casing as during development, we found that cables without this shielding did not always display video with certain TV models.

24K Gold Plating is used for the connector to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. The connector can handle ~2Kg (20N) of retention force, ensuring a secure fit.

Within the cable, triple shielding (Dual-Layer Foil + Braiding) is used to provide RF immunity and galvanic isolation which eliminates interference. Each conductor is encased in foamed PE insulation to minimise capacitance and then assembled in an optimised geometry for zero crosstalk.

Quality Control is very important at CORE. 100% of units are tested during manufacturing for electrical continuity on all pins with a 4K@60Hz application test as well as well as Bit Error Rate (BER) tests.
