Constructed using 19 Micro Mono-Filament, air-space, silver-plated oxygen free copper, solid core conductors, the cable employs a twin-axial design in an effort to ensure consistent performance and shielding, as well as materials and technological continuity with the other cables in the Blue Heaven family. The use of MMF construction and FEP insulation reportedly increases transmission speed, reduces dielectric absorption and improves mechanical stability.
The Blue Heaven HDMI is priced at a realistic $350 US for a 1M cable ($100 US for each extra meter).
