3ft 18Gbps Ultra Slim Series High Performance HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology - Red

The new HDMI® specification is here and ready to turn your High Definition video experience into an Ultra High Definition experience. Of course, Monoprice is ready with the 18Gbps Ultra Slim High Speed HDMI Cables with RedMere® Technology needed to make it all happen!

The new HDMI specification adds several new features, including an over 75% increase in the bandwidth requirement, from 10.2Gbps to 18Gbps. These new High Speed HDMI Cables have been engineered to deliver at least the full 18Gbps data required by the new HDMI spec.

The RedMere Technology allows these cables to support the full 18Gbps to longer distances, while using thinner conductors than ordinary cables. A typical passive High Speed HDMI Cable can reach a maximum length of 25 feet using 22AWG conductors, which results in a cable as thick as your index finger. On the other hand, High Speed HDMI Cables with RedMere Technology can deliver the full 18Gbps bandwidth to up to 60 feet using 28AWG conductors, which results in a cable about half the diameter.

While existing High Speed HDMI Cables can handle each individual feature in the new spec, real-world video usage usually employs more than one HDMI feature at the same time. For example, your resolution at 1080p is one feature, 36-bit Deep Color is another, and DTS-HD Master Audio™ is another, all of which have significant bandwidth requirements. The difference between the older 10.2Gbps cables and these newer 18Gbps cables is the need to compromise in your choices versus no need for compromise.

These cables support all of the following features from the latest HDMI spec:

4096x2160p (4K) UHDTV resolution @ 60 Hz refresh rate
Up to 32 audio channels
Up to 1536 KHz audio sampling rate
