Slim Specifications

Reliable 4K 60Hz Over Long Distances

This active cord transmits UHD video beyond passive cable limits. The integrated chipset boosts the signal without external power. This ensures consistent 4K 60Hz performance across different environments.

The 24/28AWG bare copper wire maintains low resistance. Gold-plated connectors provide optimal conductivity. So, you get stable video and audio over the full 15-metre run.

Full HDMI 2.0 Feature Support

The cable supports High Dynamic Range (HDR10) with 10-bit colour. This delivers higher contrast and vibrant picture quality. It also supports HDCP 2.2 for secure content playback.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) is included for 7.1 and 32-channel audio. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) synchronises the display with the source. This reduces screen tearing during fast motion.

CMP Plenum-Rated for Safety

The jacket is Communications Multipurpose Plenum (CMP) rated. It features low-smoke characteristics for use in dropped ceilings and in-wall installations. The outer jacket withstands over 1,000 bending cycles at -20 to 70 °C.

This protects the cable when routing through tight spaces with multiple bends. The round cable design aids in flexible installation. However, verify local building codes for plenum cabling requirements.

Unidirectional Installation

This cable is unidirectional and must be installed in a specific direction. The connectors feature embossed SOURCE and DISPLAY markings. You must connect the SOURCE end to your video output and the DISPLAY end to your screen.

Confirm the correct orientation before final routing. Reversing the ends will result in no signal. This design ensures optimal signal integrity for active transmission.
