Furez Products 2400 Series In-Wall CL3 Rated HDMI Cables
The Furez Products 2400 Series In-Wall CL3 HDMI cables feature 3 levels of shielding, 24AWG tinned copper conductors and completely metal connectors. The 2400 series HDMI cable is built and tested under the latest HDMI 1.3c test specification. The 2400 series HDMI cables are guaranteed to support HDMI 1.3 Category 2 (1600p)electrical test requirements up to 5 meter, HDMI 1.3 Category 1 plus 1080P electrical testing from 6 meter to 18 meter lengths. We test every cable before it ships from our facility. These HDMI cables are not drop shipped. We actually test every cable to full 1080P resolution and we use 2 generic passive extension cables during our test. We guarantee them to work at 1080P resolution or we will pay your return shipping.
About Furez 2400 Series In-Wall HDMI Cable Construction
24AWG Conductors - 24AWG was chosen for to its minimal signal loss and moderate flexibility. We investigated using 22AWG but the cable was extremely stiff and was not practical for use.
Tinned Copper - Furez Products chose tinned copper for HDMI cable lifetime reasons. Copper and silver plated copper conductors will oxidize over time which will result signal degradation. You might think that the insulation on the conductor would prevent oxidation but consider the cable construction. HDMI cables have 19 conductors plus shields. The insulation of each conductor must be minimized or the cable diameter would be too large to manage. Insulating materials will slowly allow atmospheric conditions to permeate over time and corrode the conductors. The use of tinned copper dramatically slows this natural process.
Triple Shielding - We use an 85% tinned copper braid plus 2 mylar foils shields to block out EMI and RFI interference.
Metal Connector - We chose a metal connector over a molded connector simply because the metal shell adds shielding that was lost due to stripping back the cable make the solder connections of the HDMI connector.
What is HDMI 1.3 Category 2 for Cables?
Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 Category 2 cables now support increased increased its single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions Deep Color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds.
Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 Category 2 cables now support 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 8-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail.
Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 Category 2 Cables now support x.v.Color which enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye.
HD lossless audio formats: HDMI 1.3 Category 2 Cables now supports new lossless compressed 7.1 digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
What is HDMI 1.3 Category 1 for Cables?
HDMI.org minimum requirements for HDMI 1.3 Category 1 cables requires a minimum bandwidth of 75Mhz, which is the equivalent of a 1080i signal. Note: The Furez 2400 series HDMI cables surpass this minimum all the way up to 18 meters (59 Feet) by attaining 1080P bandwidth.
