Supra HDMI History

Supra launched its first HDMI cable in 2004. Already from the very beginning, the HDMI standard and its contact gave most manufacturers a hard time to achieve perfect performance. Yet many cables were launched claiming fluent transmission, a fact many customers soon found reason to doubt. When we at Supra started our development, we knew how challanging this would become and left nothing to chance.

From the start and on, we have delivered trustworthy HDMI cables, hence our reputation on the installation market, where we supply large quantities to hotels, conference facilities and similar, and where no one overlooks sub-standard performance. Nine years of continuous product development has resulted in the Supra HD5 HDMI Met-S/B, which (according to us) is the best passive HDMI cable there is, offering HDMI High Speed with Ethernet & 4K resolution. We guarantee that our HD5 cable handles HDMI 1080P signals up to 32 meters - passively! We think we are alone to offer this. But also we have incorporated a highly cost efficient JenTech HDMI (see below) to broaden our product program.

We know also the burden of proof, why we test and approve in compliance with the latest test provisions by HDMI´s Accredited Testing Center in the USA - a quality assurance treat to our customers. The bandwidth of the HD5 is 1100MHz, above three (< 3) times the specification of HDMI High Speed (340MHz). There are some interesting esoteric cables out there claiming to do the job but only a few are actually up for it. Supra High Speed HDMI is one.

With the addition of our smart contact Supra Met-B/S, the cable is now possible to route in 20 millimeters conduits including the contact. No more on-site cut-offs and re-soldering, jeopardizing the typical Supra top notch performance.

JenTech HDMI Cable - High Speed with Ethernet (v2.0) 

• HDMI Ethernet Channel adds a data channel to the HDMI cable to enable high-speed bi-directional communication. Send and receive data via 100Mb/s Ethernet, making them instantly ready for any IP-based application.
• Audio Return Channel allows any HDMI- connected TV with a built-in tuner to send audio data “upstream” to surround audio system, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable. The cable is approved by HDMI ATC.
• 3D over HDMI defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home cinema applications.
• 4K Ultra Resolution Support enables video resolutions far beyond fullHD (1080p).
• Supports: 3840 x 2160 24Hz/25Hz/30Hz, 4096 x 2160 24Hz
• Expanded Support for modern Color Spaces: Supporting sYCC601, Adobe RGB and Adobe YCC601.

Features and benefits

• High Speed HDMI with Ethernet and fully compatible with any lower standard of HDMI making it backwards compatible
• Perfect for all HDMI devices, such as AV-receivers, bluray players, gaming consoles and high definition screens
• 24K gold plated connectors ensure superior signal transfer and long service life due to corrosion resistance
• Oxygen-free copper, tripple-shielded cable to secure stable data transmission and signal integrity
• Nylon mesh provides maximum durability against wear and tear, and resistance to higher temperature
• Triple-shielded to minimise RFI, hence reducing noise floor, improve picture sharpness and flicker-free video
• Cost-efficient, probably the best cable in this price segment
