Taking performance even further, in AudioQuest HDMI cables, the ARC-channel conductor pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the four pairs that carry information to the TV, to ensure superior audio performance.

  • 8K-10K: AudioQuest Ocean 48 HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra HD video. The incredible 48Gbps data rate is made possible by four balanced audio/video pairs each capable of 12Gbps, enabling a surprisingly stronger audio/video experience.

  • Noise-Dissipation (Level 1): 100% shielding cant guard against noise created by todays Wi-Fi and cell devices. In addition to all 19 HDMI conductors being Direction-Controlled to reduce RF Noise, AudioQuest Ocean 48 HDMI cables use advanced techniques and materials to enhance overall performance.
  • eARC: The Audio Return Channel sends audio from the TV to a soundbar, receiver, or ARC input. enhanced eARC is easier to use and enables lossless multi-channel. In AudioQuest Ocean 48 HDMI cables, the eARC conductor pair is internally controlled for direction to ensure superior audio performance.
  • Direction-Controlled Conductors: AudioQuest Ocean 48 HDMI cables use Direction-Controlled conductors to minimize RF noise. For optimal Noise-Dissipation and superior audio performance, use Ocean 48 HDMI cables with the plug's arrows pointing towards the TV, or Source towards A/V receiver.
  • In-Wall Rated: Can be safely and easily used in walls.

Q: Does this cable have the holographic sticker from HDMI licensing? A certified UHS Cable?

A: Just received mine and it does NOT have a holographic sticker. It does have ‘Ultra High Speed’ stamped on both ends. I was able to verify 2.1 compliance by hooking up my Xbox Series X to my LG CX and got 4K UHD @ 120Hz

Q: The Best Buy web page states; AudioQuest - Ocean 10' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps. But AudioQuests website does not list an 'Ocean' HDMI cable. Is 'Ocean' the correct model name?

A: That’s bc Ocean 48 is exclusive to Best Buy. To the best of my knowledge the Ocean 48 would fall in between Pearl 48 and Forest 48.

Q: Can anyone explain difference between Ocean and Pearl line of cables?

A: I don't think there is a difference. The Ocean and Sky variants are Best Buy exclusives. The Ocean is equivalent to the Pearl and the Sky is equivalent to the Forest. If you look at the back of both boxes the Ocean has the same specs as the Pearl and the Sky has the same specs as the Forest. So, if they are the same prices, buy whichever is available and if one is cheaper than the other, then buy that one.

Q: I have the 4K Samsung 55 Class Curved UN8500 tv and want to know if I buy audio quest hdmi cable, will it improve my pictures and frame rate for my PS5 and is it compatible for my tv?

A: To be completely honest. I don’t think you need to buy this specific model! You can honestly just get the hdmi 2.1 cable that supports 4K resolution and it’s only 25 bucks if I remember correctly vs spending 2x as much for a console that doesn’t have 8k games anywhere in the near future! And make sure that your tv also has that 2.1 hdmi connection! And that it too has the ability to go at 4K with 120+ FPS capability! Then go into your ps5 settings and make sure you adjust it to your resolution preference

Q: are these HDMI 2.1 cables??

A: Yes hdmi 2.1

Q: does this cable work with a 65 inch sony tv?? some places say it works on a 55 inch not 65 inch

A: Works just fine from my 65in Sony A90J to my Nintendo Switch.

Q: What is the warranty

A: Lifetime Warranty. Had (1) cable break and AudioQuest replaced it.
