Signal-management specialist Gefen’s flat HDMI 1.3 cables were developed specifically for multimedia systems and provide flexibility when integrating high-end installations. Alongside multiple shielding against electromagnetic interference and premium materials, the copper-based cable has a braided jacket for durability. Designed for current high-definition audio/video signals, it supports bandwidth of 10.2 Gbit/s under the HDMI 1.3 Category 2 standard. Its flat profile and textured surface suit concealed installation beneath plaster or behind skirting boards.
