Alvins Cables 8K 2.1 Full HDMI Cable 17/28in Braided Coiled Red / Straight-Straight
Product Description
The Alvin's Cables 8K 2.1 Braided Coiled HDMI Cable is a coiled HDMI 2.1 lead for camera operators, studio photographers, and content creators who need a little more reach between a camera and a monitor or recorder while keeping an 8K60 or 4K120 signal stable.
Finished in a deep red braided jacket, the cable has a springy coil that pulls out to length and draws back on itself when you release it, so slack gathers up instead of trailing across your rig. The gold-plated connector heads seat into an HDMI port with a firm, positive fit, and the woven sleeve gives the whole cable a taut, hard-wearing feel in the hand.
Ideal for: On-set camera operators working on rigs and gimbals, studio photographers running tethered monitors, and content creators connecting a camera to an external monitor or recorder.
When the monitor or recorder sits a little further from the camera, a fixed-length lead either falls short or leaves loose cable to sag, catch on arms and clamps, and tug at the port as you reframe. This cable answers that with a coil that extends to reach a monitor mounted further along the rig, then retracts to stay tidy, while the shielding and conductor build keep the high-bandwidth video signal clean where a thinner cable might drop out. The result is a stretchier connection that still holds its picture during a shoot.
Key Features
- Coiled braided design: The cable retracts to about 45.7 cm and stretches to roughly 71.1 cm, so it reaches a monitor mounted a little further from the camera without loose cable snagging on clamps or catching your hands as you pan.
- HDMI 2.1 at up to 48 Gb/s: The full 48 Gb/s of bandwidth carries 8K60 and 4K120 footage, which means high-frame-rate and high-resolution monitoring passes through without the cable becoming the bottleneck in your signal chain.
- Triple-layer shielding: Three layers of shielding wrap the core to hold off interference from nearby wireless units, motors, and power cables, so your monitor feed stays free of flicker and dropouts on a busy set.
- Gold-plated connectors: The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and keep a steady, low-resistance link over repeated plugging and unplugging, so the connection stays reliable across many shoots.
