QED Performance Premium HDMI Cable

QED Performance Premium HDMI further reduces the diameter of this HDMI cable to improve its flexibility, yet maintain its capability to transmit 4K60 video.

High Speed with Ethernet

QED always connected the Audio Return Channel (ARC) even before it was a requirement of the HDMI organisation and since the introduction of the HDMI 1.4 Spec, they have focused only on manufacturing the highest standard ‘High Speed with Ethernet ‘cables. This policy has enabled them to immediately support the new HDMI 2.0 standard introduced a few years ago and certify their cables for 4K60 use.

4K60

With the introduction of the HDMI 2.0 standard, the maximum data rate of the HDMI link increased from 10.2Gb/s to 18Gb/s. This was to accommodate the new uncompressed 4K 60Hz video standard (termed 4K60 4:4:4) which required a data rate of 16.06 Gb/s. In order to achieve this, the source and display equipment at each end of the cable have also to be 2.0 compliant. Cabling physical layer remained unchanged and this is still the case for version 2.0b.

HDR

High Dynamic Range (HDR) support was also introduced with HDMI version 2.0. With HDR equipment there is a greater contrast ratio and more brightness steps to give a smoother picture and more detail in both bright and shadowy areas. A related technology usually associated with HDR is Wide Color Gamut (WCG), which offers an expanded colour palette.

eFLEX

The new cable range has been designed to be as thin and flexible as possible. Gone are the days of large bulky HDMI cables and the new Performance range is characterized by a sleek black livery with a maximum diameter of just 6mm to ensure that it is suitable for use with the slimmest TVs. In reducing the cable diameter, QED has not compromised on the purity of the conductors used, which are still made from 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper. The new range comes in lengths 1.5, 3 and 5m

Premium Certification

HDMI.org has introduced a new Premium Cable Certification Program in addition to the 2.0b spec. Premium Certification offers a difficult to counterfeit guarantee label which promises the consumer a minimum standard of performance. In order to continue to provide customers with a range of cables that instill utmost confidence, QED is offering Premium Certification on the two most popular length (1.5m and 3.0m) cables in addition to the usual QED Lifetime Guarantee.

Scan the unique QR code on the Premium sticker to verify the cable is a genuine QED cable, certified to full Premium High-Speed 2.0b compliance including support for UHD 4K60, HDR and HDCP 2.2 content protection.
