Essential Install | Cables & Connections Belden’s FiberExpress (FX) line Working in conjunction with the HDMI Forum, CYP’s latest range of Premium HDMI cables are guaranteed to deliver high frame rate 4K UHD and 4K HDR whilst maintaining a stable HDCP 2.2 connection with a bandwidth of 18 gigabits per second. The CYP Premium 4K/UHD AV Cable is HDMI certified, thus promising a fully stable output. Furthermore, the cable is crafted with superior materials for a robust performance. The cables are twisted to the point of termination to reduce interference within the connector. This is complemented by a die-cast zinc alloy plug that ensures an extra tight fit in the socket. A patented wire manager design and automated soldering process improves production efficiency, performance and reliability. Each plug is finished with a die-cast zinc alloy rear shell for exceptional EMI shielding and structural integrity. For further peace of mind, each CYP 4K/UHD Cable is also tested twice in manufacturing before it is granted its Premium HDMI QR code, confirming it meets the full specification.
