Kordz EVS-R HDMI cables: 18Gbps Guaranteed DPL Labs, the trusted authority in high bandwidth product performance testing and certification, has granted its seal of approved to Kordz EVS-R HDMI cable series for 4K 18Gbps performance. UHD/4K 60Hz 4:4:4 installations are now a common, requiring HDMI cables to support a data rate of 18Gbps. At that speed, it’s critical to know with certainty that an HDMI cable works not only under ideal conditions, but that it performs flawlessly under real-world conditions. DPL Labs 4K 18Gbps certification and Kordz 18Gbps Guarantee provide that certainty THX® Certified 4K Interconnect THX® Certification involves a rigorous suite of some 75 tests over and above the HDMI® Compliance Test Specification (CTS), including tests for high bandwidth stability to 18Gbps (aggregate data rate), dependable interoperability, benchmark connector fit and overall premium build quality. It’s the most comprehensive cable test regime on the planet, certifying cables as the best available. Read more about the THX Interconnect Certification program here. High Speed Performance All lengths of EVS-R are certified High Speed with Ethernet and will support 4K/60 UHD at up to 12-bit 4:2:2 color, 16-bit 8-bit 4:2:0, or 8-bit RGB 1080p/60 Full HD 3D up to 30.2 channels of HD audio @ 192kHz 24-bit orDSD Audio Return Channel, both Single and Common modes HDMI Ethernet Channel Silver plated, larger gauge solid conductors The solid wire conductors of EVS-R are 2.5x larger than those in EVO-R, resulting in 60% more surface area. This means faster digital bit ‘rise times’, drastically increasing the bandwidth headroom. Further to this the main conductors of EVS-R are coated in a surface of pure silver (2% of conductor volume) to harness the natural phenomenon of skin effect, meaning the signal travels predominantly through silver. Good video relies on accurate pixel color definitions, being right or wrong, whereas audio can be impacted by all sorts of subtleties in the waveform. The larger surface and silver coating maintains superior timing accuracy, resulting in superior PCM and HD audio performance. Die cast connector The die cast connector fits into an HDMI receptacle like no other. It offers a firm, secure fit with no sloppiness and no need for locking. The 24K gold-plated zinc-alloy monocoque design is seam-free and tested to more than 1,000 plug/unplugevents without crushing or fatiguing. It provides a significant 20 Newtons (approx2kg / 4.4lbs) of retention force to ensure a firm, secure long term fit. Experience the difference. Lightweight construction EVS-R is a thicker cable than its EVO-R sibling, but one of the first things you’ll notice is its remarkably light weight. In fact it’s startlingly light, comprising the best hi-tech materials such as extruded aluminium shell and halogen-free strain relief and cable jacket, with no use of heavy metals anywhere throughout. Minimal weight means minimal strain on the HDMI receptacle, and when combined with the die cast connector provides one of the most reliable connections available. Green credential EVS-R is built with environmental sensitivity in mind. Low toxicity zero-halogen cable jacket means it’s safe to use in any environment from home to office to luxuryyachts (where halogens turn into hydrochloric acid on contact with water!). Furthermore we don’t use cable twist ties either, rather reusable hook and loop cable management straps, all in 100% recyclable cardboard packaging. EVS-R is proven to speed up average install times and alleviate dreaded call-backs by reducing HDMI troubleshooting demands. Every individual cable is Bit Error Rate (BER) tested on the production line to ensure it not onlyworks, but does so at the intended bandwidth. Kordz EVS-R HDMI cab
