Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cables exceed the requirements of the latest international EMI standards to significantly reduce the probability of interference with wireless services such as Wi-Fi. HDMI 2.1 HDMI Specification 2.1 is the most recent update of the HDMI specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K/60 and 4K/120, and resolutions up to 10K.

  • A Night and Day Difference
Size: 5.0ft
I am a huge fan of AudioQuest. I already had a Hi Def cable for my Sony Bravia K4 / PS4 Pro connection and I was pretty happy with it. But, After switching to the Forest 48 8K-10K it was like a Night and Day difference. The box was certified as always with this amazing company and the quality was more then I expected. Yeah, their stuff is not cheap but hey, You get what you pay for, Right?. 2 Thumbs up and 5 Stars all around. Thank You AQ!!! ... show more
