JVC Adds 15m Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable for 8K60p & 4K120p

LONG BEACH, CA., January 3, 2022 – JVCKENWOOD Corporation today announced the availability this month of a new certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable as an optional item for the company’s D-ILA projectors.

The new VX-UH1150LC HDMI cable uses a hybrid cable structure of optical fiber compatible with 48Gbps signals, and metal with reinforced shield, plus the latest optical conversion chip. The combined technologies mean it can stably transmit both 8K60p and 4K120p at its 15m length. This makes it a perfect choice for the newest JVC D-ILA projectors -- DLA-NP5, DLA-NZ7, DLA-NZ8, DLA-NZ9, DLA-RS1100, DLA-RS2100, DLA-3100 & DLA-RS4100.

JVC uses the latest optical conversion chip, which is compatible with 48 Gbps, a hybrid structure of optical fiber, and metal that suppresses transmission loss to an extreme level. In addition, by using a reinforced shield to reduce external noise the cable achieves Ultra High Speed ​​HDMI™ Cable certification, which is difficult for a 15m cable.

The cable transmits stable, high-quality video and audio not only with 8K60p and 4K120p compatible D-ILA projectors, but also with next generation displays, sources and audio equipment.

When enjoying a projector in a home theater, a long HDMI cable is often needed. However, conventional HDMI cables using copper wire have transmission losses due to internal resistance. There are also problems such as image disturbance during long-distance transmission. Signals that require 48Gbps such as 8K60P/4K120P are becoming more common, and are a perfect match for the JVC 2022 projector line. Therefore, JVC developed this cable to ensure stable transmission even for high-bandwidth signals.

JVC tested the connection performance with various devices, including our D-ILA projectors, so users considering 8K60p/4K120p support can be assured that it is a reliable product.

For flat panel TV, gaming and AVR applications, JVC includes compatibility with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) by using high-performance optical conversion chips and reinforced shielded cables.

The optical conversion chip achieves low power consumption while supporting high-bandwidth signals of 48 Gbps. Stable transmission is possible by simply connecting to the HDMI terminal of the projector, flat panel, source or audio equipment, without the need for an external power supply.

The HDMI terminal has an aluminum housing with a compact design comparable to a metal cable with a depth of 38.5 mm, which suppresses noise and allows installation as close to the wall as possible. The minimum bending radius is 35 mm, and even complicated installation can be easily realized.

* When installing this product inside the wall, be careful to check the operation with the equipment to be connected before installation.
