AudioQuest ‘Optical HDMI’ Cable Good for 100 Feet
Described as an active optical cable (AOC), the new Cherry Cola cable incorporates a “sophisticated noise-dissipation system” that uses carefully applied layers of carbon to absorb radio-frequency (RF) noise and directionality-controlled silver-plated conductors to drain it away.
The cable is slated to ship in August. Prices start at $620 for a 16.5-foot cable and scale up to $1,020 for a 100-foot length.
AudioQuest said the cable is based on a new generation of active circuitry that is “significantly more reliable” than previous AOC modules but still recommends testing it with the specific components before installation.
“While Cherry Cola is even less sensitive to compatibility issues than active equalization copper cables, all hardware combinations are vulnerable to compatibility issues,” the company said in a press release.
Cherry Cola is powered via attached components and has a plenum-rated jacket.
