Alvins Cables 8K 2.1 Full HDMI Cable Ultrathin 45cm / Straight-Straight
Product Description
The Alvin's Cables 8K Ultra-Thin HDMI 2.1 Cable is a 45 cm full-size HDMI lead for videographers who need to feed a camera such as a Canon C70, Z CAM, or Sony A7S III into an external recorder or monitor like the Atomos Ninja V without dropped frames.
The cable is strikingly slim and supple, with a soft TPE jacket over a coaxial core just 2.4 mm across. It bends readily around a tight rig, resists knotting, and springs back rather than holding a kink. Each aluminium alloy connector shell seats firmly into its port, and a moulded strain relief at both ends flexes with the cable where it meets the plug.
Ideal for: Videographers recording from cameras like the Canon C70, Z CAM, or Sony A7S III, A9, and A7 IV into an on-set recorder or monitor such as the Atomos Ninja V.
A thick, stiff HDMI cable pulls at the camera's port on a moving rig and can knot or crack at the joints over time, and any signal loss shows up as dropped frames or a flashing screen on the recorder. This cable answers that with an ultrathin, flexible coaxial body and double-layer shielding, so it sits lightly on the port while carrying a clean 4K or 6K feed to the recorder. The 45 cm length gives a little more slack for a monitor mounted further along the rig while still staying tidy.
Key Features
- Ultrathin flexible TPE coaxial build: The 2.4 mm cable with a 1.87 mm shielded core bends easily and resists knotting and breaking, so it routes cleanly through a tight rig and puts little strain on the camera's HDMI port.
- HDMI 2.1 at up to 48 Gb/s: The full 48 Gb/s of bandwidth carries 8K60 and 4K120 footage, which means monitoring or recording at 4K 60fps and 6K 30fps to a device like the Ninja V passes through without dropped frames.
- Double-layer shielding: Two layers of shielding resist external electromagnetic interference and minimise signal loss, so your recorder feed stays free of flicker and screen flashing on a busy set.
- Aluminium alloy connectors with strain relief: The alloy connector shells add impact resistance and the strain relief at both ends flexes with the cable, so the plugs are less likely to fail at the joint over repeated use.
