Posted by Metra on January 14, 2021
Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) has introduced its Velox® fiber HDMI® cables designed for the 8K future in new 5- and 8-meter lengths. These ultimate high speed cables are engineered with a bandwidth capability up to 48Gbps for 8K and 10K content. The EHV-HDG2 Series from Velox was previously available in lengths from 10 to 100 meters, or 32.8 to 328 feet, for long-distance runs. Now, integrators can purchase these cables in 5-meter and 8-meter lengths, or 16.4 and 26.3 feet, as the EHV-HDG2-005 and EHV-HDG2-008. The 100-meter cable in this series won a Residential Top New Technology (TNT) award in 2020 as it was one of the first HDMI cables to support 48Gbps at 100 meters with its innovative technology. The ability to inject external power into the cable has also been one of its cutting-edge features that have helped make this cable compatible with a wide range of devices.
