Specifications and features

Dolby VisionHDR10+

Overview

Certified Ultra High Speed by the HDMI organization, this Inakustik cable from the Premium range complies with the HDMI 2.1b standard and supports a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbit/s. It is designed to ensure the transmission of audio and video signals that meet the specifications of HDMI 2.1-compatible equipment. The cable features OFC copper conductors, triple shielding, and gold-plated connectors.

Architecture designed for digital signals

The internal structure of the Premium II 48G is based on high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) conductors, assembled in twisted pairs with a 28 AWG gauge. This configuration limits electromagnetic interference between the various data lines. The triple shielding, a combination of a metal braid and two layers of foil, reinforces insulation against external interference, whether from Wi‑Fi signals, radio waves, or electrical noise from nearby devices.

The connectors feature 24‑carat gold plating that prevents oxidation and maintains optimal conductivity over time. A braided fabric sheath covers the whole assembly, offering better mechanical resistance than a simple plastic jacket. However, the cable’s rigidity, a consequence of this robust construction, requires a fairly generous bending radius when installing it behind furniture or a wall-mounted TV.

High-definition video and smooth gaming

With 48 Gbps of bandwidth, the cable supports the most demanding resolutions: 4K at 120 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, 8K at 120 Hz with DSC (Display Stream Compression), and even 10K at 60 Hz in 4:4:4 HDR via DSC. For more common setups, 4K/60 Hz passes easily without any compression.

Gamers will appreciate compatibility with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), which synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with that of the console or PC to eliminate screen tearing. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) allows the TV to automatically switch to game mode when a console is detected. QMS (Quick Media Switching) and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) round out this feature set by reducing latency when changing sources or content.

HDR support includes HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats, covering most of the catalogs offered by streaming platforms and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.

Multichannel audio and enhanced return channel

The Premium II 48G carries uncompressed HD audio streams: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X are sent directly to the receiver or soundbar. The eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) function can send these same formats from the TV’s built-in apps to an external audio system, without the need for an additional optical cable.

CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) compatibility lets you control multiple devices with a single remote, while HDCP 2.3 ensures decoding of protected content, including that from the latest video-on-demand services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cable work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

Yes. These consoles use the HDMI 2.1 standard for 4K/120 Hz, VRR, and ALLM. The Premium II 48G supports all these features and lets you enable every graphics mode offered by these systems.

What’s the difference compared with Inakustik’s Star II 48G model?

The Star II 48G shares the same bandwidth and HDMI 2.1b compatibility. It differs by using slightly thinner conductors (30 AWG versus 28 AWG) and omitting the fabric sheath. The Premium II 48G offers a more robust construction and better mechanical isolation.

Is the cable flexible enough for in-wall or tight-behind-TV installation?

The triple insulation and fabric sheath make this cable relatively stiff. If the space behind the screen is very tight or if the TV’s HDMI port faces the wall, it may be difficult to maintain a tight bending radius without putting strain on the connector. In that case, an angled or thinner cable would be preferable.

Can I use eARC to send Dolby Atmos from Netflix to my soundbar?

Yes, provided both the TV and the soundbar support eARC. The cable will then carry the full Atmos stream, without going through the compressed Dolby Digital Plus format.

Does the cable support 8K/60 Hz without compression?

No. At that resolution, DSC compression is required, even with 48 Gbps of bandwidth. 8K/60 Hz in 4:2:0 without DSC remains theoretically possible, but current 8K TVs generally use compression to ensure stable transmission.

Do I need a certified cable to benefit from HDMI 2.1 features?

Ultra High Speed certification by HDMI.org guarantees that the cable has passed compliance tests for 48 Gbps data rates. A non-certified cable may work, but without guaranteed stability for all advanced features (VRR, 4K/120 Hz, etc.). The Premium II 48G carries this certification.

Can this cable carry a 4K HDR signal through an AV receiver before reaching the TV?

Yes. HDCP 2.3 and sufficient bandwidth allow 4K HDR to pass through a compatible AV receiver. HD audio formats (Atmos, DTS:X) will be decoded by the receiver while the video continues on to the display.

Juste parfait , rien à redire .

Corentin

All the features of the PS5 are recognized by the TV and the cable, which is not always the case (like with my old cables, for example).
The cables are not very supple or flexible; the minimum bending radius required by the cable without feeling any strain is quite large. So, if you have an HDMI output against the wall and the TV mounted on it, this could be an issue.

Otherwise, great product.

Toutes les fonctionnalités de la ps5 sont reconnues par la télé et par le câble. Ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas (mes anciens câbles par exemple).
Les câbles ne sont pas super souples ni flexible, le rayon de courbure minimum demandé par le câble sans que l’on sente qu’il force est assez grand. Donc si vous avez une sortie hdmi contre le mur et la télé accroché à ce dernier, cela pourrait poser problème.

Sinon super produit.

Denis

Perfect.
