Overview

The Blue Heaven HDMI Cable is designed to exceed the requirements of the latest HDMI specifications, ensuring high-speed data transfer, minimal signal loss, and interference-free performance. It is capable of supporting advanced video and audio formats, including 4K Ultra HD, HDR (High Dynamic Range), 3D video, and high-resolution audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The combination of silver-plated conductors, precision shielding, and low-loss insulation ensures that the Blue Heaven HDMI Cable delivers a clear, dynamic, and detailed audio-visual experience.

Key Features

• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Blue Heaven HDMI Cable is constructed with high-purity, silver-plated, oxygen-free copper (OFC) solid-core conductors. This ensures superior conductivity and efficient signal transfer, resulting in more accurate, detailed, and dynamic sound and picture quality. The silver plating enhances high-frequency performance, allowing for sharper images and clearer audio.
• Low-Loss FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Insulation: Nordost uses extruded FEP insulation, which provides excellent dielectric properties and minimizes signal loss. This insulation ensures that data signals are transmitted accurately, maintaining the full integrity of high-resolution audio and video signals.
• Precision Shielding: The Blue Heaven HDMI Cable features advanced shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding prevents external noise from affecting the signal, ensuring a cleaner, more stable connection for both audio and video signals.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: Each Blue Heaven HDMI Cable is cut to mechanically tuned lengths, a unique process that reduces internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance. This ensures optimal signal transfer and enhances the overall performance of the cable.
• High-Quality Connectors: The cable is terminated with durable, gold-plated HDMI connectors that provide a secure and corrosion-resistant connection. These connectors ensure consistent contact and maintain signal integrity, delivering a reliable connection between your components.
• Ethernet and Audio Return Channel (ARC) Support: The Blue Heaven HDMI Cable supports Ethernet over HDMI, allowing you to connect Internet-enabled devices through a single cable. It also supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), making it easier to integrate with modern AV systems.
