Product Information
AudioQuest Carbon 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and superior design to produce a superior entertainment experience. Meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance, Carbon 48 features 5% Silver-Plated Copper conductors with AudioQuest’s Level-3 Noise-Dissipation technology: a high-loss carbon layer, sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs, further enhances noise-dissipation. Of course, all AudioQuest 48G HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra HD video, support Dynamic HDR, and have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced sonic capabilities. Taking performance even further, all 19 conductors, comprising A/V and eARC signals, all Ground-Reference drains, and control and power conductors, are properly controlled for the most efficient dissipation of Radio-Frequency Noise.
Features:
- 8K/10K capable
- 48G bandwidth for 8K/60 and 4K/120 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery, eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), and more
- Solid 5% Silver-Plated Long-Grain Copper A/V and eARC conductors
- 25% Silver Ground Reference
- Level-3 Noise Dissipation: Carbon-Layer + Metal Layer + All 19 Conductors Directionally Controlled

All the current line of HDMI cables use the same quality conductors for the ARC/eARC as for the audio & video conductors! The new 48G cables also use the same quality conductors for the ARC/eARC as for the audio & video conductors. The exception is the three eARC Priority models (which dont exist yet).
The regular Vodka, Thunderbird and Dragon models use the same quality conductors for the ARC/eARC as for the audio & video conductors 10% silver for Vodka, 10% silver for Thunderbird and 100% silver for Dragon.
Vodka eARC Priority will use 10% silver for the ARC conductors but 0.5% silver for the A/V conductors. Thunderbird eARC Priority will use 10% silver for the ARC conductors but 0.5% silver for the A/V conductors. Dragon eARC Priority will use 100% silver for the ARC conductors but 0.5% silver for the A/V conductors. This allows those customers who can only get the audio to their A/V receiver via ARC or eARC the very best sound quality at a much more affordable price.
