Chord Shawline Active Optical 48Gbps HDMI Cable

  

Shawline HDMI AOC uses a high-quality true HDMI 2.1 chipset at both ends of the cable and the highest OM3 grade (over 10 Gigabit bandwidth) glass fibres rather than the typical OM2 (up to 1 Gigabit bandwidth). Alongside the full 4K/8K HDR picture quality, this premium high-speed cable benefits from the improved audio performance of optical fibre and is heavily shielded against HF noise.

 

Following concerns that copper-only cable is being stretched to the limit of its capability, for several years, Chord have been exploring optical technology for carrying the ever-more demanding signals required by the latest (and future) players, processors and screens. Unlike TOSLINK cables, where the entire signal is carried down optical fibres, HDMI AOC cable is a hybrid of 7 copper cables and 4 optical fibres.

The advantage of optical fibre is that it doesn’t pick up HF noise. The same cannot be said for the copper cables! This potential weakness, coupled with the longer cable lengths involved, means that HF noise on the signal earth is inevitable.

Even though this is a digital ‘optical’ cable, Chord must ensure that the copper cables are fully protected from external HF noise pollution, so beneath the external PVC jacket they have incorporated a double aluminium foil shielding system.

Brilliant cable and service
25 Jun 2022
Verified Buyer
Faultless service and brilliant advice from Geoff Loveday. I couldn’t be happier with the quality, performance and service. The cable itself is brilliant for installs, with the slimmest connector ends on the cable, making it possible to route through existing wall channels and easily get it through ceiling voids.

Simply brilliant all-around from Future Shop. Many thanks

Ideal installation cable.
14 Oct 2021
Verified Buyer
I was a little surprised when I opened the box just how thin the Shawline cable was in comparison to the Audioquest it was replacing, this now being too short after mounting new TV on the wall, needn’t have worried though.

So far performance is excellent, the cable is a breeze to work with for on-wall installation. The only caveat is if like mine your TV’s ARC HDMI is on the rear you’ll either have to space bracket slightly off the wall or as I did chop the wall out behind so the TV sat flush to the wall. This is because the Shawline’s plugs are slightly deeper than normal HDMI plugs.


Overall very pleased.
