Armored HDMI2.1 cables offer lossless 8K data transmission – with or without protective sleeve for the HDMI connectors

Robust HDMI® armoring – knightly protection & royal performance

With its special stainless steel armoring, the new HDMI2.1 cable offers maximum robustness and optimally protects its sensitive inner workings from potential damage. The armored structure of the cable ensures a high load capacity and allows a tensile strength of up to 80 kg. The HDMI connectors with their robust housings also offer maximum stability and can withstand a tensile force of up to 65 kg. Despite this extremely robust construction, the cable is surprisingly slim at just 5.8 mm and can be laid flexibly with a minimum bending radius of just 20 mm.

Thanks to the integrated AOC technology (Active Optical Cable), the transmission of high-speed content is based on innovative fiber optic technology, achieving an impressive transmission distance of up to 100 meters without any loss of signal quality – ideal for large home cinemas or professional installations (art. HI-HI48) that require long cable runs.

A second version is also available, supplemented by the tried and tested Glandmaster protective sleeve, which additionally protects the HDMI connectors against damage during transport. Perfect for mobile use in live operation (art. HI-HA48), also available on SCHILL cable reel (art. HI-HA48G).

The new armored HDMI 2.1 cable with 48G UHD performance and lossless 8K data transmission is the perfect choice for anyone looking for reliable, high-performance solutions.
