About The WireWorld Stellar 48 Fibre Optic HDMI Cable
From a short run of just 1 metre all the way up to a staggering 30 metres, WireWorld's Fibre Optic HDMI cables are almost without parallel. They offer incredibly high audio and visual performance and some of the fastest data rates of any HDMI cables available. Naturally, being WireWorld, they are constructed to the highest level and even a cursory glance will reveal their top-shelf quality. If you want one of the absolute best HDMI cables available, and especially if you need a seriously long run with negligible loss, WireWorld's Stellar Fibre Optic HDMI is the cable for you.
The Stellar™ Fiber Optic 8K HDMI is an extended-range cable that utilises the highest quality laser modules and driver chips to improve image quality and provide long term reliability, while supporting the 48Gbps data rate required for next generation video applications.
The next generation 8K/120 video standard of HDMI 2.1 has created the requirement for cables that support the extreme data rate of 48 Gigabits per second. Conventional copper HDMI cables can only support 48Gbps signals over lengths of a few metres. Fibre optics are required to support 48Gbps over the long lengths used in many home theatre and commercial applications. While optical cables for the previous HDMI generations have been around for years, they have the reputation of being less reliable than copper cables. Of course, that is understandable because they contain complex electronics and lasers in addition to conductors. That's why it pays to buy an optical cable made with the best available parts and materials.
Wireworld's vision for the 8K Stellar range, was to create a fibre optic HDMI cable that provides both state-of-the-art performance and extreme reliability. To accomplish this goal, Stellar utilizes world-class parts, materials and market leading construction techniques. Stellar's laser modules are made by the American company II-VI, a leading supplier of lasers for the most demanding applications. Likewise, the driver chipset is produced by the German company, Silicon-Line, a leader in microchip technology. The cable's four optical fibres are superior OM3 laser-optimized grade. The cable's structure features double-thickness shields and several high strength Kevlar fibre bundles for increased durability and freedom from interference. With these world-class components, materials and structure, Stellar provides enhanced performance and superior long-term value.
Stellar supports all HDMI 2.1 features and capabilities, including HDR10+, HDCP2.3, Ethernet, Enhanced ARC, Deep Colour, etc. To ease installation, the durable die-cast zinc plugs feature the extremely narrow width of 18mm, so they can be pulled through common size electrical conduit. Stellar is also UL-CMP/FT6 plenum (fire resistance) rated for residential and commercial installations.
The WireWorld Stellar active optical HDMI cable is the first optical HDMI cable to be certified as Ultra High Speed by the HDMI Forum. The HDMI Forum Authorized Testing Centre issued certificates covering the Stellar cables in lengths of 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m. Wireworld maintains that the development required to obtain this certification will enable better user experiences for customers. Now that 4K video content is common and major products that support HDMI® 2.1 features are widely available in the market, it's crucial that cables and devices work together seamlessly. Ultra High Speed HDMI Cables comply with a stringent specification designed to ensure support for all HDMI 2.1 features including uncompressed 8k@60 and 4k@120. Stellar supports up to 48Gbps and is backwards compatible with all existing HDMI devices. The cable also features exceptionally low EMI which reduces interference with nearby wireless devices.
"Eye Pattern" Test: WireWorld perform an eye pattern test to determine the capability of the cable to carry the specified (as laid down by The HDMI Group, LLC) digital video signal over the length of any given HDMI cable. Whilst other brands choose to highlight favourable and selective results that only provide a partial account of compliance, WireWorld tests the entire range of HDMI cables that it manufactures.
Pro Installers: Many custom installers use Wireworld HDMI cables simply because they work in situations where others don't. Even though HDMI video is generally excellent to begin with, a faster and quieter cable can still reduce pixel noise, improving contrast, colour saturation and depth. On the other hand, HDMI audio tends to be very lossy, making the cables connecting source components to the receiver/processor the most important audio cables in the system. Therefore, we recommend upgrading the source cables as the first step to appreciating the benefits of Wireworld HDMI cables.
Quality Control: WireWorld is leading the way in verifying the quality of all its HDMI products. WireWorld's range of HDMI cables are subjected to very exacting quality control and testing procedures. Each and every cable goes through a full electrical test and visual inspection. Only the samples that meet the strict WireWorld criteria are shipped from the factory to Audio Trends.
About Wireworld
For the seriously music-obsessed, a key gateway to an expanded soundstage, where one comes within grasping distance of the creator's vision, lies in the purest and most sonically invisible of conductors being the medium between their audio setup. In the audio world, few have come close to reaching this flagstone as David Salz, Founder and CEO of Wireworld. For close to four decades, David has led a renaissance in the cabling world, completely reinventing conductor geometries in his quest for high-performance cables that boast even octave to octave tonal balance, while staying bereft of the signature house sounds that colour many a brand creation. We also support Wireworld as a premier provider of leading edge digital and analogue cable technology for home audio and video, from HDMI and USB audio to state-of-the-art high-end interconnects and speaker cables. They have earned their world-class reputation by producing high quality cables based on the use of objective perceptual testing, innovative patented designs, premium materials, and exceptional manufacturing quality.
