Tributaries Cable announces the UHDS Slim HDMI cable line is now certified 18Gbps by DPL labs and the Imaging Science Foundation, ensuring 4K compatibility as well as enabling HDR and Deep Color.
The upgrade comes through a slight increase in wire gauge-- from stranded 36AWG to solid 32WG. This allows the UHDS cables to passively support 18Gbps from 0.5m through 2m while maintaining a slim, flexible design. Tributaries says passive cables are preferable to active, since they are bi-directional and voltage agnostic, making installations simpler and more stable.
The increase in wire gauge results in a minor cable O.D. increase of around 1mm, maintaining the slim profile. Ideal for rack systems where multiple cables are bundled and dressed, and installations where flexibility and a minimum bend radius is required, the UHDS line promises ease of installation.
The improved UHDS Slim are available now in 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2m lengths. The 3 and 4m lengths are discontinued.
