Get ready for the 8K revolution with Avencore
8K is industry shorthand for high-bandwidth. 8K is more than 4K, so the comparison is easy. But since there's still no such thing as an 8K Blu-ray or an 8K subscription for Netflix, what does that 8K tag mean for your home theatre? It means you can combine more HDMI features together than before. 4K at 120Hz with HDR on? Now that's a trick slower HDMI cables can't manage.
The Avencore Carbon Series offers fully certified 48Gbps bandwidth for incredible content delivery that will make the most of your new TV or gaming monitor, making it a fantastic choice for now and the future. With complete support for all HDMI 2.1 features such as HDR, DSC, HFR, and eARC, as well as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X plus Variable Refresh Rate, you can have your cake and eat it, too.
Sure, 18Gbps cables will be plenty for watching movies, streaming and free-to-air channels, but when it comes time to plug in your new curved ultra-wide 5K PC monitor or get your PS5 and Xbox Series S/X running at their top spec, only a true 48Gbps cable will do. Think 1440p @ 240Hz or 5120x2560 @ 120Hz with HDR. Super smooth, high-resolution output is now possible.
The Carbon Series 48Gbps range features anodised aluminium grips over moulded plugs, with soft nylon braiding for additional physical protection and a sense of style to match its capabilities. Inside, you have high-grade copper cores in 28/30 AWG plus foil shielding for the best possible signal quality. The whole package is fully certified by HDMI.org and carries the hologram sticker on every box.
Avencore Carbon 48Gbps versus Avencore Crystal 48Gbps?
You may notice the technical specifications for both 48Gbps cables from Avencore are the same, so why choose Carbon Series? These are built to be tougher, are outwardly designed for style, and come with real 48Gbps certification on every length in the range (and come in longer lengths, too). This makes Carbon Series a great choice for cables which will be seen, or which will be subject to additional wear and tear throughout their lifetime.

These days, a single monitor setup almost feels like a punishment. The experience of constantly expanding and minimising windows to perform a simple task knowing how easy it would be with a second monitor is frankly archaic. So this must be what Marty McFly felt like in 1955. Now unless you're a masochist, it might be time to introduce your display to a friend or two and experience how much better things can be. [
