Designed to meet the increasing demands of modern audiovisual systems, the Clearway HDMI AOC joins Chord’s existing copper Clearway HDMI, which delivers high-resolution performance over distances up to 3 meters. The new cable incorporates a state-of-the-art chipset at both ends, enabling superior performance over extended lengths of up to 20 meters.

The Clearway HDMI AOC offers an impressive 48GBps bandwidth, thanks to its use of OM3-grade optical fibres, surpassing the more common OM2 grade. This advanced design supports resolutions up to 10K at 30Hz, utilizing a combination of four optical fibres and seven copper wires. The cable is built with robust protection, including foam/Polyethylene insulation, dual aluminium foil shielding, and a durable PVC jacket.

In addition to delivering exceptional 4K, 8K, and 10K HDR picture quality, the Clearway HDMI AOC enhances audio performance while providing strong resistance to high-frequency (HF) noise interference. The cable supports key features such as eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), SBTM (Source-Based Tone Mapping), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Quick Media Switching (QMS).

Constructed with precision, the cable includes gold-plated copper HDMI connector shells with 19 gold-plated copper pins, all hand-soldered for optimal connectivity. A zinc-alloy connector backshell adds an extra layer of durability.

Chord Company’s commitment to quality is further demonstrated by offering a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the Clearway HDMI AOC, maintaining the Clearway range’s reputation for affordability and performance.
