AudioQuest ThunderBird Cable

This cable uses 10% silver conductors specifically for the eARC and Ground Reference lines. This design choice ensures the audio return channel signal is transmitted with higher precision and less interference than standard HDMI cables.

Yes, the cable supports 48Gbps bandwidth, which is sufficient for 8K/10K resolutions and high-refresh-rate gaming up to 120Hz. It is well-suited for modern consoles that require low latency and high data throughput.

Level-5 Noise Dissipation is designed to minimize signal distortion and prevent radio-frequency interference from entering the cable. In practice, this results in a cleaner, more stable signal transmission, which can lead to improved audio clarity and fewer video artifacts.

While it is built to handle 8K and 10K signals, it is perfectly compatible with standard 4K setups. Using a high-bandwidth cable like this ensures your system is future-proofed and provides a high-quality, reliable connection for your current equipment.

The blue braided jacket is durable and provides good protection, but it is slightly stiffer than standard PVC cables due to its construction. You should ensure you have enough clearance behind your equipment to allow for a gentle bend radius.
