Description
AudioQuest Cherry Cola 48 Hybrid Active Optical Cable
The sophisticated Noise-Dissipation System in the AudioQuest Cherry Cola 48 Hybrid Active Optical Cable combines RF noise-absorbing carbon and directionally controlled silver-plated drain conductors to minimize the distortion caused by RF interference, ensuring a fully immersive entertainment experience.
Further, for applications that require low-smoke, low-flame characteristics, Cherry Cola uses a plenum-rated jacket.
AudioQuest Cherry Cola 48 Active Optical HDMI is AudioQuest’s premier solution for long-length HDMI applications that demand full 48Gbps/8K bandwidth without an external power source.
Features
- Optical Fiber AV conductors eliminate multiple forms of degradation over distance.
- To further reduce RF Noise, Level 4+ Noise-Dissipation adds Galvanic Isolation and a Carbon Mesh-Network to the Direction-Controlled A/V and eARC conductors.
- This eARC conductor pair features Solid 5% Silver conductors and Level 3 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance.
- Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, AudioQuest’s 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required to support all HDMI-2.1 features.
- High-speed video resolutions render action sequences with lifelike clarity, brilliant color, and excellent dynamic contrasts.
Available in 5m, 10m, and 15m lengths, Cherry Cola 48 is the premier solution for long-length HDMI applications. Regardless of current need for 4K/120 or 8K/60, Cherry Cola 48 offers superior performance for 10.2Gbps, 18Gbps, and 48Gbps sources, still without requiring an external power source.
For longer lengths (20m, 25m, 30m), Cherry Cola 18 continues to provide superior low-noise performance. Cherry Cola 18 set the standard that Cherry Cola 48 continues with AudioQuest’s Level-4+ Noise-Dissipation:
Galvanic-Isolation provides RF-immunity for the A/V signals, Silver-Plated Ground-Reference, all metal controlled for direction (including control and power conductors), and Global-Carbon Mesh-Network Noise-Dissipation.
While eARC is not commonly used in video projector setups, AudioQuest follows an extremist always-prepared mandate. Like Cherry Cola 18, Cherry Cola 48 employs Silver-Plated eARC conductors.
And, to help simplify installations, Cherry Cola 48 incorporates a Plenum-rated fire-retardant jacket and small plugs.
