Als o available from Pixelgen is the MAX4K series of
HDMI cables. These thin, fl exible passive HDMI cables
guarantee max 18G bandwidth and complete HDMI
functional feature-set. Available in 0.3, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3
and 5m, all Max 4K Interconnect lengths have achieved
the superior designation of passing the THX Certifi ed 4K
Interconnect program.
All mechanical characteristics of the Max 4K
Interconnect series of cables have been carefully
engineered by Pixelgen to ensure the highest level
of signal integrity from a high-speed, low-speed
communication & DC perspective.
Specifi cally, careful consideration has been taken with
critical mechanical characteristics such as wire gauge,
high-speed twist ratios, shield uniformity and overall wire
arrangement layout. Consideration of these elements
help maximise signal integrity as well as isolate critical
signals within the cable itself for maximised reliability and
interoperability. The cable has a highly attractive premium
look and feel on the outside, and superior premium cable
quality on the inside.
Available from Habitech, Cleerline Technology Group
introduced Cleerline SSF fi bre in 2011 under Planet
Waves, prior to reorganising as new business in 2012.
Cleerline SSF fi bre is a disruptive fi bre product that
main differentiating feature is a hard polymer coating
incorporated in the glass cladding diameter of the strand
of fi bre. The technology is referred to as GGP (Glass,
Glass, Polymer) as the core and cladding remain glass but
a third layer of polymer yields several benefi ts that makes
fi bre easier to install and terminate than UTP copper
based solutions.
The product is named SSF; stronger, safer, faster. It’s
strong, up to 200 times more durable than conventional
125um cladded glass fi bre, it can take a minimum
bend radius of 2.2mm while maintaining a 31 year life
expectancy, and has 225lbs short term load compared
to UTP’s 25lbs. It’s very safe as the increased bendability
eliminates the ability for the fi bre to penetrate soft tissue,
making the process for terminating much easier and
