تقضي الموصلات الصلبة على التشوه الناتج عن التفاعل الداخلي وتقليل التشويش. الموصلات الصلبة المطلية بالفضة ممتازة للتطبيقات عالية التردد للغاية، مثل صوت HDMI. هذه الإشارات كونها مثل هذا التردد العالي، تنتقل بشكل حصري تقريباً على سطح الموصل. نظراً لأن السطح مصنوع من الفضة عالية النقاء، فإن الأداء قريب جداً من أداء الكابل الفضي الصلب، ولكن سعره أقرب كثيراً إلى كابل النحاس الصلب. هذه طريقة فعالة من حيث التكلفة بشكل لا يصدق لتصنيع كابلات HDMI عالية الجودة.

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
HDMI standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backward compatible. However, not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize today’s HDMI 2.0 equipment. While there is currently no 4K/60 4:4:4 software requiring the full 18Gbps capability of HDMI, some sources (UHD Blu-ray players) can be set to “up-sample”, requiring 18Gbps capability. Up-sampling often should be done in the TV rather than in a previous component — but that’s your decision. AudioQuest HDMI cables with “Exceeds 18 G bps” on the box front are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI data streams.
