RTR Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 There is a new certified HDMI cable that handles 18Gbps, whatever that is.... Most older cables do 10.2Gbps. When I got my Oppo, they advise using the certified cable. The certified cable is advised to pass UHD 4K signals. The package has a premium tag on it. You can get them from Monoprice, $4.49 for 6" length. Not much more than regular cables, so I bought them. I did not know about this. I always heard they were all the same.

dtr20 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Gbps is gigabits per second. This is the amount of data that can be transferred through the cable. 4k and HD audio soundtracks need a much higher transfer rate than what is needed by your cable box for example.
