CORE 20m Active Optical Fiber HDMI 2.1 Cable, 10K, 8K60, 4K120, eARC, 48Gbps

The HDMI Signature Series by CORE is a Reference cable that offers a no compromise performance at the highest available specification for full 48Gbps uncompressed bandwidth, supporting resolutions/refresh rates up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz and Display Stream Compression (DSC) at 10K.

The OM3 Optical Fiber conductors eliminate multiple forms of degradation over distance, providing RF immunity and galvanic isolation which ensures lossless audio and video. This is further reinforced by the double shielding and protected by extra-strong Kevlar.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) increases bandwidth to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X. In comparison, the "HDMI cables with Ethernet" specification only supports ARC which maximizes out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound.

Supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Dynamic HDR, HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights as well as greater colour saturation and brightness. Dynamic HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) enables frame-by-frame HDR optimization compared to HDR which is static.

Gamers look no further! The Signature Series offer enhanced features for the best gaming experience:

• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, judder and frame tearing for more fluid and better detailed gameplay.
• Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) automatically selects the ideal latency depending on the source, allowing for smooth, lag-free and uninterrupted viewing and interactivity.
• Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces latency for smoother no-lag gaming and real-time interactive virtual reality.

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 selected Zinc Alloy (instead of Aluminium) for the casing and 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.

*Please note that the cables are directional (one side connects to the Display and the other to the Source) and sharp bends may damage the fiber in the cable. No external power required.
