This is it. The HDMI cable you've been waiting for. The cable that Caleb Denison uses in all his YouTube reviews, reference testing, and other assorted media shenanigans. In other words, you just got hooked UP.
Now, we hear you saying, "Okay, guys - what's great about this cable?" Well, we're glad you're curious.
Getting there took some homework. We sourced and evaluated samples, compared them with more expensive alternatives (sometimes extremely expensive alternatives), and looked closely at where spending more stopped delivering meaningful value to you.
We focused on what matters: consistent 48 GBPS, audio and video signal delivery, durable construction, a secure connection, and easy routing through all the twists and turns in AV consoles. The details that make a difference while you’re putting a system together and then every time you turn it on.
So that's why we started CableRated. Building a dependable and thoughtfully built HDMI cable that takes picture and sound seriously. Choosing the cable should be the easy part.
Your gear. Well connected. We think we've done it, and we hope you agree.
