Monoprice Redmere Active Hdmi Cables

But monoprice isn t the only vendor of these cables though they are probably the least expensive.

Monoprice redmere active hdmi cables.

Some redmere cables measure just 2 5 mm in thickness the cable diameter. Also be careful of these cables because monoprice is secretive about the powered chips used inside the redmere cables and on googling after the failure people have complained that it sucks up more current than is specified in hdmi standards effectively running the risk of ruining the expensive equipment that it might be connected to. Monoprice was a major early proponent of redmere technology first debuting active redmere cables with much fanfare in early 2012 you can watch the company s original informative video here. Samsung vizio and monster all offer redmere equipped cables as well.

Redmere technology is a breakthrough in the functionality and efficiency of hdmi cables. We didn t test really long cables for this guide but monoprice makes several series built to handle long distances. These new active hdmi cables from redmere are really thin or at least they have the potential to be depending upon the manufacturing technique and how long the cable needs to be. I have 40 and 50 foot dynamicview active high speed hdmi cables in my lab.

A high speed hdmi cable with redmere from monoprice is the best way to transmit your high speed hdmi signals over the longest distances while using the thinnest cables possible. Similarly while a 25 foot length of conventional high speed hdmi cable requires 22 awg conductors a 60 foot length of high speed hdmi cable with redmere technology uses only 28 awg conductors. Monoprice sells hdmi cables with redmere technology up to 60 feet in length with a claimed bandwidth of 10 2gbps.
