News related to:Silkland · 2 min read
Silkland, a connectivity brand, has launched the H96, the world's first certified Ultra96 HDMI cable series. Available in two lengths, 2 meters and 3 meters, the cables are now on sale for global consumers.
The H96 series, which includes the 2m S2705 and 3m S2707 models, features aluminum-alloy housings and double-braided nylon jackets. Each cable is individually certified by the HDMI Licensing Administrator (HDMI LA) and comes with a scannable Ultra96 label. Consumers can verify the authenticity of the cables by scanning the QR code on the package, which redirects to the official HDMI website.
Silkland's launch marks a significant milestone in the HDMI certification process, as the Ultra96 program is the most rigorous ever. It requires each model to pass testing at an HDMI Forum Authorized Testing Center at every specific length. At 96Gbps, maintaining signal integrity becomes increasingly challenging as cable length increases, making the H96's certification a notable engineering achievement.
The H96 supports uncompressed 4K@240Hz and 8K@60Hz at full 4:4:4 chroma. With DSC (Display Stream Compression), it can handle up to 4K@480Hz, 8K@240Hz, and 16K@60Hz. Additionally, the cable supports HDMI 2.2's Latency Indication Protocol (LIP) for precise audio-video sync, as well as VRR, ALLM, QMS, and eARC. The H96 is backward-compatible with current 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 devices and is ready for 96Gbps HDMI 2.2 devices expected in 2027.
Vincent, CEO of Silkland, stated, "Every new HDMI generation starts with the same question: is it certified, and can I actually buy it? Today, the answer to both is yes. The H96 isn't a 'coming soon' page, it's certified, labeled, and on sale today."
Silkland's track record of certification firsts includes the first VESA-certified 2m DP80 cable and the first USB-IF-certified 1.5m USB4 80Gbps cable on Amazon. Founded in 2019, the company serves gamers, creators, and professionals in 20 countries and is a member of VESA and USB-IF.
The 2m S2705 and 3m S2707 models are available for purchase at silklandtech.com, starting at $32.99. Additional lengths will follow, expanding the H96 series to meet the needs of a broader audience.
