24Gbps 4-Core Active Optical HDMI Cable | 4K HDR 4:4:4/60, ARC, CEC, ALLM & VRR | Kevlar strengthened | ISF Certified
SKU: EXP-CAB-HAOC-8
The WyreStorm HAOC is a next generation HDMI cable designed for the next generation of 4K HDR content. It offers a unique feature set in both delivering uncompressed HDMI content at up to 24Gbps and compatibility with emerging HDMI technologies such as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) & VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) using the latest in optical transmission technology. Now established as the most powerful form of HDMI extension, WyreStorm active optical cables offer the best of both worlds: pixel-perfect long distance transmission of content and native HDMI communication, thanks to their ability to be a passive communication technology compared to normal HDBaseT™ extenders that often terminate the HDMI signal prior to transmission.
HDMI 2.0 AND BEYOND
Using a 4-core transmission system and passive optical transmission, the EXP-CAB-HAOC cables are compatible with content exceeding the current HDMI 2.0 standard. The EXP-CAB-HAOC will support future content up to 24Gbps, equating to 4K/60 4:4:4 10-bit. Emerging resolutions in gaming are also supported, such as 2560x1440p @144Hz.
PASSIVE HDMI COMMUNICATION
It’s not all about raw bandwidth and transmission power. WyreStorm Active Optical Cables have been verified to not only ensure that the A/V signal gets to its destination but also the invisible metadata too. CEC, ARC, ALLM and VRR are all supported by WyreStorm HAOC’s.
GLOBAL HDR STANDARD SUPPORT
Open standards such as HDR-10 & HLG and licensed versions like Dolby Vision & Advanced HDR (Technicolor) are all competing formats that all vary in their method of effectively achieving the same end result. WyreStorm HAOC’s, being a transparent transmission medium, support all known HDR standards and send them uncompressed.
ISF CERTIFIED
Considered to be the world’s leading authority on display calibration and image integrity, ISF have rated the technology behind the WyreStorm HAOC cables as amongst the best in the world, surpassing their benchmark certification process. This confirms that HDMI optical transmission can not only match copper in terms of signal integrity but far exceed it in transmission distance.
