Media Release - 24 November 2020

Melbourne, Australia November 24, 2020. Wireworld Cable Technology, one of the world's most respected brands of high-performance audio and video cables, announces the release of the Stellar™ Fiber Optic 8K HDMI cable. This new range of cables utilises the highest quality laser modules and driver chips to improve image quality. Providing long term reliability that Wireworld is famous for while supporting the 48Gbps data rate required for next generation video applications.

8K / 120 video standard of HDMI2.1 has created the requirement for cables that support the extreme data rate of 48 Gigabits per second. Conventional copper HDMI cables can only support 48Gbps signals over lengths of a few metres. Fiber optics are required to support 48Gbps over the long lengths used in many home theatre and commercial applications.

Wireworld’s vision for the new 8K Stellar range, was to create a fiber optic HDMI cable that provides both state-of-the-art performance and extreme reliability. To accomplish this goal, Stellar utilizes world-class parts, materials and market leading construction techniques. Stellar’s laser modules are made by the American company II-VI, a leading supplier of lasers for the most demanding applications. Likewise, the driver chipset is produced by the German company, Silicon-Line, a leader in microchip technology. The cable’s four optical fibers are superior OM3 laser-optimized grade. The cable’s structure features double-thickness shields and several high strength Kevlar fiber bundles for increased durability and freedom from interference. With these world-class components, materials and structure, Stellar provides enhanced performance and superior long-term value.

Stellar supports all HDMI2.1 features and capabilities, including HDR10+, HDCP2.3, Ethernet, Enhanced ARC, Deep Colour, etc. To ease installation, the durable die-cast zinc plugs feature the extremely narrow width of 18mm/0.7”, so they can be pulled through common size electrical conduit. Stellar is also UL-CMP/FT6 plenum rated for residential and commercial installations.
