Features
- Quartz Glass Zero Loss Over Length
Optical Fiber AV conductors eliminate multiple forms of degradation over distance. - A/V Noise Dissipation
To further reduce RF Noise, Level 4+ Noise-Dissipation adds Galvanic Isolation and a Carbon Mesh-Network to the Direction-Controlled A/V and eARC conductors. - 5% Silver Level - 3 ND
This eARC conductor pair features Solid 5% Silver conductors and Level 3 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance. - 48 Gbps Bandwidth
Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, AudioQuest’s 48Gbps HDMI cables have the bandwidth required to support all HDMI-2.1 features. - 8K - 10K Resolution
High-speed video resolutions render action sequences with lifelike clarity, brilliant color, and excellent dynamic contrasts.
- Available in 5m, 10m, and 15m lengths, Cherry Cola 48 is the premier solution for long-length HDMI applications. Regardless of current need for 4K/120 or 8K/60, Cherry Cola 48 offers superior performance for 10.2Gbps, 18Gbps, and 48Gbps sources, still without requiring an external power source.
- For longer lengths (20m, 25m, 30m), Cherry Cola 18 continues to provide superior low-noise performance. Cherry Cola 18 set the standard that Cherry Cola 48 continues with AudioQuest’s Level-4+ Noise-Dissipation:
- Galvanic-Isolation provides RF-immunity for the A/V signals, Silver-Plated Ground-Reference, all metal controlled for direction (including control and power conductors), and Global-Carbon Mesh-Network Noise-Dissipation.
- While eARC is not commonly used in video projector setups, AudioQuest follows an extremist always-prepared mandate. Like Cherry Cola 18, Cherry Cola 48 employs Silver-Plated eARC conductors.
- And, to help simplify installations, Cherry Cola 48 incorporates a Plenum-rated fire-retardant jacket and small plugs.
- Ultra High Speed 48Gbps Bandwidth: 48Gbps bandwidth enables 4K/120 and 8K/60 resolutions and frame rates, as well as all exciting HDMI-2.1 capabilities.
- Advanced Electro-Optical Conversion Modules: Accurately convert the 48Gbps A/V signal without requiring an external power source.
- Quartz Glass Optical Fibers: Quartz Glass optical fibers provide galvanic isolation for complete immunity to RF Interference and no loss over distance.
- Level 4+ Noise-Dissipation: In addition to galvanic isolation, AudioQuest's Level 4+ Noise-Dissipation incorporates Silver-Plated eARC conductors, Silver-Plated Ground-Reference conductors, and an overall Carbon Mesh-Network to counteract the harmful effects of radio-frequency noise.
- Solid Metal Shield-System: Solid metal shield-system also works to counteract RF Interference.
- Long-Distance 48Gbps Entertainment Experience: Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing, Cherry Cola 48 active optical cables provide 48Gbps performance for long length installations.
- Clear Signal Transmission: Minimizes interference and reduces distortion to provide clean, clear, naturally beautiful sound.
- High-Quality Materials and Design: High-purity conductor metal, carefully selected insulation, and sophisticated shielding ensure minimal distortion.
- Versatile Connectivity: Ideal for connecting TVs, projectors, soundbars, AV receivers, and more. **Durable and Reliable Design**: Built to withstand everyday use, ensuring consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cable supports video resolutions up to 8K at 30 frames per second (8-bit, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling), including 4K Ultra HD content. It is capable of handling 24 and 30 fps, which are standard frame rates for most movies and TV shows, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-definition content.
-
It features a sophisticated Noise-Dissipation System that combines RF noise-absorbing carbon materials with directionally controlled silver-plated drain conductors. This design helps minimize distortion caused by radio frequency interference, resulting in a cleaner signal and an immersive audio-visual experience.
-
Yes, the cable supports eARC, which allows for uncompressed, lossless high-resolution multi-channel audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. The internal conductor pairs are designed to ensure superior audio performance by managing signal directionality effectively.
-
Thanks to the advanced electro-optical conversion module and glass-fiber optical conductors, the cable can reliably carry signals up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) without degradation, making it ideal for long-distance HDMI connections that require high bandwidth and quality.
-
Yes, it has a plenum-rated jacket, which means it meets fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces such as HVAC ducts and plenums. This makes it suitable for commercial or residential installations where fire safety regulations are a consideration.
