NEW Chord Company Clearway HDMI AOC
Posted on 22nd August 2024 by Paul Telling
Next-gen performance for a budget price
The new Clearway HDMI Advanced Optical Cable joins the existing copper Clearway HDMI (which offers high-res performance up to 2m) and introduces a high-quality next-generation chipset at both ends of the cable for advanced performance over longer runs from 3-20m.
The new 48GBps-bandwidth Clearway HDMI AOC cable benefits from the highest OM3 grade (over 10-Gigabit-bandwidth glass fibres), rather than the typical OM2 (1 GB).
Resolution is up to 10K (30 Hz) from the four-fibre/seven-wire configuration which is protected with foam/Polyethylene insulation, a dual aluminium foil shield and a PVC jacket.
Alongside full 4K/8K/10K HDR picture quality, the high-speed Clearway HDMI benefits from improved audio performance and is heavily shielded against unwanted HF noise.
The cable supports:
eARc (Enhanced Audio Return Channel )
SBTM (Source-based Tone Mapping)
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM)
Quick Frame Transport (QFT)
Quick Media Switching (QMS).
Further features include a gold-plated copper HDMI connector shell with 19 gold-plated copper connector pins, hand soldering and fabrication to the terminations, and protection from a zinc-alloy connector backshell.
Despite the legendary affordability of Chord Company’s Clearway range, the Clearway HDMI AOC cable is sold with a lifetime warranty against defective materials and workmanship.
