ADTechno Co., Ltd. will release four types of 48Gbps compatible ultra slim high strength optical fiber HDMI cables on January 31, 2024.

The lineup are as follows. More details can be found on the ADTechno website: 

This product is an ultra-slim active HDMI cable that uses high-strength glass optical fiber cable coated with stainless steel and Kevlar, and supports 48Gbps transmission.

These new ADTechno cables adopt an ultra-fine diameter of 3.8 mm, which is the thinnest class on the market. Although thin, the cable sheathing has a three-layer structure: spiral-structured stainless steel, military-grade Kevlar, which is also used in bulletproof vests, and flexible and stretchy TPU, which cover the optical fiber and copper wire in that order. This unique structure provides excellent crushing strength that can withstand pressures of up to 2000N (204kgf) and high tensile strength of up to 800N (81kgf). These maintain signals and functions intact even at sites and facilities where cables are often stepped on or pulled.

Hybrid Configuration

A hybrid configuration is used for signal transmission using OM3 standard optical fiber with extremely low loss and copper wire for other signal lines. ADTechno says it has achieved long-distance transmission of 8K@60Hz/4K@120Hz signals with a maximum transmission band of 48Gbps using low-loss optical fibers without external power supply.

DynamicHDR, which can express dynamic brightness gradations for each frame; VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), a game mode that uses variable frame rates to eliminate stuttering that occurs in fast-paced games; and DSC (Display Stream Compression), a video signal compression technology. ) and other latest technologies. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from building a high-quality 8K home theater environment such as connecting to a long-distance AV receiver, to gaming events where a variable refresh rate is essential, to professional broadcasting and editing where 8K editing is required.

Compared to passive cables of the same length or conventional active cables (10 m, approx. 680 g), it is lightweight (10 m, approx. 300 g), easy to carry, and flexible (minimum allowable bending radius of 38 mm), making it easy to install. The burden on the sink device connector will be reduced.

Improved Connector

The connector part has an ultra-compact design with a depth of only 35mm. It is smaller than conventional active cables, making it ideal for use with devices installed near walls.

Furthermore, the connector housing, which uses zinc alloy material, has a high-quality appearance and robust strength, and has excellent electromagnetic compatibility, making it less susceptible to external noise interference and minimizing noise generation from the main body. Keep it to a minimum.

Ultra-high strength (2000N pressure resistance, 800N tension resistance), ultra-thin diameter (3.8mm diameter), noise-free, long-distance transmission (up to 30m), suitable for home theaters, live events, video production studios, medical settings, distribution sites, It can be used in a variety of situations where it is necessary to avoid connection errors due to cable breaks, such as FA equipment, embedded equipment, server rooms, and shareholder meetings.

ADTechno HDMI Cable Product Features

Ultra-thin diameter (3.8mm diameter)/high strength cable

Adopts an ultra-fine cable with a diameter of 3.8 mm, which is the thinnest class on the market. Although it is thin, the cable sheath has a three-layer structure: stainless steel (high strength, high pressure resistance), Kevlar (high strength, high heat resistance), TPU (flexible, abrasion resistant, tensile resistant), and optical fiber and copper in that order. covering the line.This unique structure provides excellent crushing strength that can withstand pressures of up to 2000N (204kgf) for short periods of time, and high tensile strength of up to 800N (81kgf). It is said to maintain signals and functions intact even at sites and facilities where cables are often stepped on or pulled.

8K60Hz/4K120Hz (48Gbps) up to 30m transmission

A hybrid configuration is used for signal transmission using OM3 standard optical fiber with extremely low loss and copper wire for other signal lines. Using optical fiber with low loss, we have achieved long-distance transmission of 8K@60Hz/4K@120Hz signals with a maximum transmission band of 48Gbps without external power supply.

Lightweight and flexible cable (minimum allowable bending radius 38mm)

Compared to copper wire cables of the same length or conventional active cables (approximately 680 g for 10 m), it is lightweight (approximately 300 g for 10 m) and easy to carry, and the cable is flexible (minimum allowable bending radius of 38 mm), making it easy to use when installing a sink. This reduces the burden on the device side connector.

In addition, the connector part has an ultra-compact design with a depth of only 35 mm. It is said to be much smaller than conventional active cables, making it ideal for use with devices installed near walls.

Zinc Alloy Connector

The connector housing, which uses zinc alloy material, has a high-quality appearance and strong strength, and has excellent electromagnetic compatibility, making it less susceptible to external noise interference and minimizing noise generation from the main unit. suppress.
