The Ultra High Speed standard of HDMI 2.1 created the requirement for cables that support the extreme data rate of 48 Gigabits per second. While 48G speed is absolutely required to play next generation 8K resolution content, Ultra High Speed cables also ensure the full functionality of all previous generations of HDMI audio and video connections. Cables that support 48G are also recommended for providing the highest reliability in demanding 4K applications.
Beyond the requirements of HDMI 2.1, there are additional technical issues that influence the sound and image quality of HDMI cables. The issue with the greatest effect on sound quality is triboelectric noise, which is generated within the cable by the interaction of conductors and insulation material. Now in their third generation, Wireworld’s Composilex insulation material minimizes triboelectric noise so effectively that sound quality is substantially improved. The increased quality delivered with these cables is the result of intensive research that included direct comparisons of sound quality before and after the signal passed through the cable.
Sphere 48 is an improved version of the original Uni-Path, Composilex 3 insulated design. This cable looks and sounds better than the original. The cable structure features three layers of shielding for freedom from interference and is highly flexible for ease of installation and increased durability. With this refined structure and ultra-quiet Composilex 3 insulation, Sphere 48 provides enhanced performance and long-term value. In addition to supporting all HDMI 2.1 features and capabilities, Sphere 48 is also UL-CL2/FT4 rated for in-wall installation.
The new Wireworld Sphere 48 cables are now available in different lengths with retail pricing being $60/60cm, $70/1m, $90/2m, $110/3m, and $190/5m.
Wireworld Cable Technology, founded by industrial designer David Salz in 1992, offers a complete range of digital and analog cables for home and professional A/V applications, including HDMI, USB, Ethernet, interconnect, microphone and speaker cables.
