Perfect Path™ HD-1000-4 High Speed HDMI® Cable w/ Ethernet Channel Featuring PerfectLock™ Connectors (4 foot)
HDMI Cables; often, these behind-the-scenes workhorses are thought of as accessories. Accessories are "nice to have" options. Interconnects, on the other hand, are not optional. They’re quite possibly the most important component in your system, carrying every bit and byte of audio, video, and data. Your sound and picture are only as good as your interconnects. Make sure this crucial path is Perfect.
Advanced Connectivity
Listening to the over 150,000 pro installers who use Perfect Path™ products exclusively in the commercial Cable TV/Satellite industries, it was discovered that the biggest challenge to HDMI performance and reliability was the connector itself. HDMI connectors can easily loosen and become disengaged in a way not visible to the naked eye, causing errors up to a total loss of signal. Perfect Path™ developed and patented the first Locking Connector for HDMI Cables, with more than six times the holding retention of conventional HDMI. With Perfect Path™ HDMI Cables, for the first time, both performance and reliability of HDMI connections are…well, perfect.
Ethernet Channel
The embodiment of the perfect path. The HD 1000 series by Perfect Path™ breaks the boundaries of the HDMI system, now and for the future. It is the world's first truly locking solution (with Ethernet), presented in a gleaming gloss nickel finish. An HDMI Ethernet Channel (a.k.a. HDMI v1.4) cable allows your internet-ready entertainment devices, like gaming consoles and Blu-ray® Disc players, to share an internet connection without a separate Ethernet cable. Devices connected by the HDMI Ethernet Channel will be able to exchange digital content in its native format, which enables recording, storage, and playback options across a connected (and simplified) system. If you want the HDMI cable that does everything, your decision has already been made.
Excessive Retention
Patented PerfectLock™ connectors create 25 lbs. of retention in the port. This ensures a reliable connection that is a challenge to accidentally disengage. The PerfectLock™ design connects (and holds) when the cable is inserted, and only extracts when you deliberately remove it.
High Speed & Audio Return
The Perfect Path™ HDMI Cable is equipped with a High Speed rating exceeding 10.2 Gbps to deliver 1080p resolution and beyond. A built-in Audio Return Channel simplifies home theater system structure by eliminating the need for a separate audio cable to send audio back “upstream.” Overall, these cables are excellent for HDMI digital multimedia integration and interconnection, home theater HDMI connection, and inter-device HDMI interconnection.
Superior Composition
Additionally, the Perfect Path™ HDMI Cable is CL2/FT4 In-Wall rated and is 3D and 4K x 2K ready. Metal shielding over connections prevents signal interference, while gold contact plating produces a corrosion-resistant electrically conductive layer. Each cable comes packaged with a premium poly bag.
