GIEC Unveils Top-Tier 8K HDMI 2.1 Fiber Optic Cable for an Unrivaled Audiovisual Experience!

Release time:2024-08-21

As technology soars, our quest for unparalleled high-definition audio and video knows no bounds. Recall when 1080p captivated our imaginations? Well, 2024 may well usher in the era of 8K!


GIEC is revolutionizing the game with their all-new 8K HDMI®  2.1 Fiber Optic Cable – the HD180 Steel-Armored OM4 Fiber Optic Cable. Tailored for 4K and 8K devices alike, it's the ultimate companion for home theaters, security monitoring systems, and video conferencing setups. A dream come true for high-definition enthusiasts!


What Makes 8K HDMI®  2.1 Stand Out?


8K video boasts an astonishing resolution of 7680x4320, far surpassing even 4K in detail. On a 75-inch screen, 8K pixels deliver a visual feast that transcends reality.


Introduced in 2017, HDMI®  2.1 stands as the pinnacle of connectivity, offering unprecedented bandwidth for ultra-high resolutions and refresh rates, alongside groundbreaking features like Dynamic HDR and VRR for smoother, more immersive visuals.


Fiber Optic vs. Copper Cable: Which is Better?


Fiber optic cables transmit data via light, eliminating the need for electricity. This feature safeguards against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stability and reliability, particularly over long distances.


Conversely, copper cables rely on electricity for data transmission, making them susceptible to EMI, especially over extensive lengths or in high-EMI environments.


GIEC's 8K Steel-Armored Fiber Optic Cable: Why It Is the Ultimate Choice?

1. Frame-by-Frame Precision, Born for Audiovisual Perfection

The all-new GIEC HD180 Steel-Armored Fiber Optic Cable fully supports HDMI®  2.1 protocol functions, enhancing video quality seamlessly. It supports multiple resolutions, including 2K@144Hz, 4K@120Hz, and 8K@60Hz, and boasts Dynamic HDR and VRR for smoother, lag-free visuals.

It addresses audio-video concerns flawlessly. HDMI®  2.1 supports 32 audio channels, eARC, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X audio transmission, 12-bit color depth, and BT.2020 color gamut, delivering high-quality audio and video.

It also enhances user experience with features like QMS (Quick Media Switching) reducing black screen time during resolution, refresh rate, and color space changes, and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) minimizing latency for a smoother gaming experience.


2. Superior Fiber Core for Ultra-Long Transmission Distances

Compared with pure silver-plated oxygen-free copper wire core, the "silver-plated oxygen-free copper + OM4 10G optical fiber" wire core solution is better!

The number of GIEC HD180 wire cores is 11. 7 cores of silver-plated oxygen-free copper are used as the main transmission body, and 4 cores are high-quality OM4 10G optical fiber cores, with stable signals and no delay. The number of 11 cores seems to be less than that of ordinary all-silver-plated oxygen-free copper HDMI ® cables, but the fineness and quality of the wire cores are the main concerns, not just the pursuit of quantity.

As a high-quality conductive material, silver-plated oxygen-free copper provides better electrical signal transmission performance, and its excellent oxidation resistance also provides a guarantee for stable signal transmission. The better-performing optical fiber core and light-speed transmission solve the signal loss caused by electromagnetic interference in oxygen-free silver-plated copper transmission. Supports 100-meter standard long-distance transmission, and wiring is no longer limited!


3. Multiple Layers of Protection for 48Gbps Ultra-High Speed Bandwidth

It is not easy for GIEC HD180 steel armored optical fiber cable to achieve the maximum transmission rate of HDMI ® 2.1 standard. Achieving HDMI ® 2.1's maximum transmission rate with quartz glass fiber is challenging due to its brittleness. Thus, GIEC HD180 requires robust protection.

Surrounding the fiber core is an eco-friendly inner jacket, followed by a Kevlar fiber layer for enhanced durability and tensile strength. An aluminum foil shield blocks EMI and RFI, while a high-density steel armor spring hose adds further protection and strength. The outermost PVC transparent layer safeguards against physical damage, water, dust, and abrasion, allowing easy inspection of internal structures.

Four layers of protection ensure stable transmission, and the cable's flexibility facilitates easy routing and installation.


4. Imported chips from well-known brands, quality guaranteed

HDMI ® 2.1 fiber optic cables demand a 48Gbps-capable driver chip. GIEC HD180 utilizes German Silicon-Line's renowned high-speed fiber optic communication solutions.

The HD180 optical fiber line is equipped with lasers and photoelectric conversion cores at both ends, and is controlled and driven by a driver chip. The HD180 seamlessly navigates complex EMI environments, ensuring instant and lossless optical-to-electrical signal conversion for high-quality audio and video transmission.

Catering to various applications, GIEC offers 15 length options (0.5/1/2/3/5/12/20/70... meters) for seamless integration into home theaters, security monitoring, outdoor screens, and commercial settings, maximizing the potential of your audiovisual equipment with exceptional performance.
