About this item
Sky 48 features high-purity Solid 0.5% Silver conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.
8K-10K
AudioQuest Sky 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.
4K Performance
In addition to enabling the 48Gbps data rate, the improved materials and design of AudioQuest Sky 48 HDMI cables significantly benefit the overall performance of your 4K system. All AudioQuest HDMI cables are completely backwards compatible with existing 4K devices.
Gaming
Supports enhanced gaming features (4K120, VRR, ALLM, QFT) for optimal performance from Sony Playstation 5 (PS5), Microsoft Xbox Series X, Gaming PCs, etc.
0.5% Silver Conductors
AudioQuest Sky 48 HDMI cables use solid conductors to defeat both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction. Increasing thicknesses of Silver-Plating, culminating in 100% Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS), are used to further improve noise dissipation.
Noise-Dissipation (Level 1)
“100% shielding” can’t guard against noise created by today’s Wi-Fi and cell devices. In addition to all 19 HDMI conductors being Direction-Controlled to reduce RF Noise, AudioQuest Sky 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 Sky 48 HDMI cables, the eARC conductor pair is internally controlled for direction to ensure superior audio performance.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
AudioQuest Sky 48 HDMI cables use Direction-Controlled conductors to minimize RF noise. For optimal Noise-Dissipation and superior audio performance, use Sky 48 HDMI cables with the plug's arrows pointing towards the TV, or Source towards A/V receiver.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
AudioQuest HDMI cables are precisely manufactured to ensure a high level of reliability, and are backed by a non-transferable, limited lifetime warranty. Proof of original purchase is required; other restrictions apply. Valid in the US only.

Q: QuestionDoes this cable have silver like Forest?(2 answers)
A: AnswerSky has more silver than Forest but less than Cinnamon. I found out from Audioquest. I am glad that I answered my own question. :)Answered by HDKNOWLEDGE
- A: AnswerI have a Q90T QLED and it works great with my PS5. I was hesitant at the beginning because the cables are not cheap, but is worth it. Cable needs to be connected straight to the TV. I was using HUE Sync box but HDR was not working since the cable was not hooked to Tv but to the HMDI HUE Sync box. Again, make sure is connected directly to TV.
