Officially certified for HDMI 2.1 connectivity from the HDMI Forum, Austere’s new 8K Ultra-High Speed cable can support resolution rates of 8K@60 and 4K@120, and even up to 10K, setting up a Christmas where all your media jingles all the way to the highest performance.

With our televisions, gaming units and sound systems offering ever greater performance, we need increasingly better cables to take advantage, and the new Austere cables are certainly coming to the party, with bandwidth capacity increased to 48 Gbps, while supporting dynamic HDR formats.

The cable also comes with a label that can be scanned in the HDMI Certification app to prove its Ultra-High-Speed credentials, and will perform at the highest specs on new HDMI 2.1 TVs, AV receivers and gaming consoles. Interestingly, they’re also backward compatible.

Making them even more future focused they include high-fidelity eARC tech to provide the highest quality streaming audio available today, and the refresh rate is smooth enough to virtually banish image lag, stutter and frame tearing.

To ensure durability, the Austere 8K HDMI cable has Kevlar -reinforced windings. Plus, the LinkFit Connector means it will stay firmly in place.

Thinner than most other 8K cables, it offers strength and flexibility, so spreading it around corners shouldn’t mess with your signal, handy as it comes in lengths of 1.5m and 2.5m.
