Next-gen C-view 2.1 HDMI from Chord made for 48 Gbps

The Chord Company has launched a next-generation HDMI 2.1 cable for high performance 4k 120fps sources and 8k screens. The C-view 2.1 directly replaces its predecessor and represents a complete overhaul of the original design.

The new cable benefits from full bandwidth 48 Gbps support, for 8k at 60 Hz or 4k at 120 Hz. It also supports Dynamic HDR, HDCP 2.2, HDMI eARC, 3D, plus all HDMI audio formats.

Chord Company has also upgraded the new C-view 2.1 HDMI’s physical properties. Both the cable’s conductor and insulation have been improved, along with refinements to the shielding to further protect the higher-data-rate signal-transmission in the latest HDMI 2.1 specification.
Externally, the C-view 2.1 benefits from a new HDMI plug which features improved shielding via an aluminium outer skin. The latest-generation plug also features better internal conductor routing, plus mechanical damping from a PE filler.

C-view 2.1 joins three other high-performance HDMI cables from the Wiltshire specialist, the Clearway HDMI, plus the Shawline HDMI and Epic HDMI, both of which are AOC (Active Optical Cable) models.

Doug Maxwell, Chord Company’s Sales Director said, "We’re thrilled to introduce a Chord Company-quality HDMI cable of this specification at such an accessible price point. We’ve put our 37 years of experience behind our A/V range and this highly affordable newcomer offers home cinema fans next-generation Chord Company tech for less.”

The C-view 2.1 HDMI is available now: 0.75 m (£30); 1 m (£35); 1.5 m (£40); 2m (£45); 3m (£55). More over on Chord.co.uk.
