The thing to understand about this shelf

Once a cable is certified Ultra High Speed, its bandwidth is the standard’s, not the product’s. Three certified 48 Gbit/s cables carry the same signal. What is left to choose between them is length, build and price — and this one is priced with the short cables.

What is stated

48 Gbit/s, dynamic HDR, 12-bit colour depth, eARC. All of it follows from the certification rather than distinguishing the cable.

The connectors

Nickel-plated, in an aluminium alloy shell. Nickel conducts fine; gold is the choice that does not corrode. On a cable plugged in once and left behind a cabinet, that distinction is close to academic.

Where it belongs

A short run — a console, a disc player, a streaming box — where certification is the requirement and there is nothing else to weigh.

Availability

On sale from 11 € to 13 € on the German, British, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at the time of checking.

Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

  • Southlight braided Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, 3 metres

    Southlight certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, 3 m

    EAN
    0787942713389
    • Ultra High Speed certification, which is the only label on an HDMI cable that means anything
    • Three metres — long enough for most rack-to-screen runs and short enough for passive copper to be dependable
    • Braiding, gold plating and an alloy shell are construction, not capability — none of them raises bandwidth

    Best for: A projector or receiver up to three metres from the source, at 4K 120 Hz or 8K.
