ACCELL ProUltra High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Review



ACCELL is based out of Fremont,CA. The company strives to create excellent connectivity products for the consumer. The HDMI cable I am reviewing here is measured at 3 meters or 9.8ft. and is compliant with the latest HDMI 1.4 specification. It is also rated with a data transfer rate of up to 10.2Gbps (340MHz). I connected this cable to several different components throughout my testing time and every time it provided a solid connection. There were no handshaking issues to speak of and the image and sound provided through the cable was excellent.



The best feature besides standard of 24k Gold-Plated Contacts, Flexible Jacket, and Triple Metal Shielding for a solidly constructed cable is the Bulit-In Ethernet Channel and Audio Return Channel (ARC) features that will help keep this cable line "future-proof" for many years. The ethernet channel will allow the transmission of an ethernet signal across the HDMI cable, so when future devices utilize this feature you'll simply just need this HDMI cable to access every audio and video signal in your home theater system. I will update my review at a later date when I have a component that takes advantage of ARC enabled equipment. In closing if you're in the market for an HDMI cable that performs flawlessly with no issues then I highly recommend you take a look at this superb product. 10/10
