Atlas Element High Speed HDMI with Audio Return & Ethernet
A high speed digital cable specifically developed to meet the demands of high definition audio & video.
The Element High Speed HDMI with Ethernet was specifically designed by Atlas’ own digital engineers to deliver optimal bandwidth with maximum fidelity In today’s advanced home cinema systems, they consider sound quality is just as important as video performance in creating an immersive user experience.
The Element utilises high purity Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) conductors insulated by a low loss foamed Polyethylene dielectric to deliver fast, accurate signals between source and destination components. A unique conductor topology and its precision length-matched construction enables the Element HDMI to achieve consistent data transmission and maintain constant impedance – making it fully compliant with the latest 4k specifications and avoiding the timing issues which potentially degrade performance. With triple layer shielding employed to eliminate any contamination of the high speed digital path ways and a precision die-cast metal head shell which provides superb screening characteristics and ensures a secure connection (loose fitting connectors can be a cause of signal loss).
The Element High speed HDMI with Ethernet reduces the error correction required by any digital receiver giving it the best chance to recover error-free data from any wide-band transmission.
Features :
- Atlas HDMI Plugs
- OFC Conductors
- PEF/HDPE Dielectric
- Multi-Core Construction
Atlas HDMI Plugs
Precision one piece die-cast metal headshell for improved cable retention, 360° screening for improved RF integrity.
Oxygen Free Copper (OFC)
OFC is produced through an extrusion process which takes place in an oxygen-free-inert-gas atmosphere. This leads to a reduced oxygen content (10 ppm) when compared to Tough Pitch Copper (TPC) and an improvement in conductivity which typically measures in at between 0.5% and 2% greater than TPC. The OFC process therefore produces a much higher quality audio cable than the TPC process. High purity conductors sound clearer than their unprocessed (TPC) counterparts because there are fewer crystal boundaries present to cause signal degradation.

PEF/HDPE Dielectric
PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) is cheap to produce and, as such, is the most commonly used insulation in AV cables. However, PVC is the worst quality insulation a Hi-Fi or AV signal can encounter as its high loss causes a significant reduction in signal velocity. PVC is better suited to power cables and should be avoided in Hi-Fi and AV signal cables.
Other dielectrics in common use are Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polytetrafluoride Epoxy (better known as PTFE (Teflon™) or Teflon,) and the new and unique Atlas (PTFE).
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) has a more close-packed structure compared to its more flexible cousin LDPE (Low Density PE) and excels in its durability.
The table below shows the properties of a selection of dielectrics. Though not used as a dielectric in Atlas' cables, PVC is included for comparison purposes.

About Atlas Cables 
Atlas Cables are a major producer of interconnects and cables in the United Kingdom of Great Britain. All products are researched, developed and most are assembled in the Atlas purpose built factory in Scotland.
Many of these products are unique and use advanced techniques of production or manufacture in order to bring to the user the very finest quality products. With each new model we continue to push the boundaries of reliability and performance. It's little wonder then, that Atlas Cables have had so many mile-stone advances in the past and that Atlas Cables have secured so many awards in comparative tests against other products.

I bought the 'Equator' first. The Equator is an active cable. I am not a technician, i don't know how to say, it just don't fit my computer and i can't achieve the best results of it. This 'Element', i will say it is just so so. I can get the same performance with half the price of other brands.
