First-time CEDIA Expo exhibitor Bridgee will be there with its new HDMI cables, the Mark Series Hybrid Active Optical 2.1 models, certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), in Booth 1550. With a combination of optoelectric conversion using premium components, the Mark Series cables deliver transmission bandwidth of up to 48Gbps in runs as long as 30 meters — without the need for external power — for 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz signals (10K maximum support), with variable refresh rate (VRR) and QFT fast frame transmission, to efficiently handle 8K viewing and gaming.

The Mark Series is the first cable to incorporate Bridgee’s OE-Optiz design, allowing for what the company says is the retention of more subtle details of sound and image with higher fidelity.

The Mark Series uses precision-grade materials and components to ensure the “highest level of performance for audio and video signals.” The cables feature a hybrid design that combines OM3 optical fiber with silver-plated OFC copper wire, preventing signal attenuation over long distances, up to 30 meters. The Mark series employs 24K, 30u thick gold-plated copper connectors to ensure the highest electrical conductivity at the connection. Bridgee uses advanced welding and noise reduction techniques throughout the cable to ensure a precise end-to-end connection, while the aluminum shielding protects the cable from EMI and improves sound quality. The outer jacket features wear-resistant nylon braiding, preventing knotting and enabling easy, safe storage.

Bridgee also offers the Kai 2.1 cable supporting 48Gbps, featuring stainless steel tubing to provide powerful protection and crush resistance for this extremely lightweight and flexible cable, making it well-suited outdoor or other challenging installations.
