Silkland has introduced the Ultra96, a new HDMI cable designed to handle the growing demand for higher bandwidth in modern displays. This release matters because it supports the HDMI 2.2 standard, which doubles the data capacity of the previous generation. Gamers and home theater enthusiasts looking for future-proof connections will find this specification particularly relevant.
New HDMI 2.2 standard doubles bandwidth to 96Gbps with latency protocol
The Ultra96 cable operates at a data rate of 96Gbps, a significant jump from the 48Gbps limit of HDMI 2.1. This increased throughput is achieved by doubling the bandwidth available through Fixed Rate Link (FRL) technology. The cables are designed to maintain signal integrity over longer distances without compression artifacts.
Specifications
- Standard: HDMI 2.2
- Data Rate: 96Gbps
- Bandwidth: Double HDMI 2.1 (FRL)
- Features: Latency Indication Protocol (LIP)
- Length 2m Price: $32.99
A key technical addition in this version is the support for the Latency Indication Protocol (LIP). This feature helps ensure precise synchronization between audio and video streams, which is critical for gaming and high-fidelity media playback. The cable adheres to the HDMI 2.2 specification to enable these enhanced capabilities.
Silkland offers the Ultra96 in two lengths to suit different setup requirements. The 2-meter version is available for $32.99, while the 3-meter variant costs $55.99. Both models are priced in USD for global availability, providing a clear cost baseline for buyers comparing peripheral options.
