Long-Length High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0b Cable

Pearl 18 features high-purity Long-Grain Copper conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.

All 19 HDMI conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.

This eARC conductor pair features Solid Long-Grain Copper conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance.

AudioQuest's 18Gbps HDMI cables are guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 8K/30 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery, and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel).

AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video up to 8K/30 (8-bit, 4:2:0), which is 7680 x 4320 resolution (over 33 million pixels) at up to 30 frames-per-second (fps). 24 and 30 fps are the frame rates for almost all movies and many TV shows.

AudioQuest Pearl 18 is an active HDMI cable that provides outstanding audio/video performance at distances up to 50ft (15m). Featuring solid Long-Grain Copper conductors with AudioQuest's Level-1 Noise-Dissipation, Pearl 18 is meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance. Of course, AudioQuest's Pearl 18 HDMI cable is guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 8K/30 video, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery. Taking performance even further, all 19 conductors, comprising A/V and eARC signals, all Ground-Reference drains, and control and power conductors, are properly controlled for the most efficient dissipation of Radio-Frequency Noise.
