The Chord Shawline Active HDMI Cable uses a high-quality chipset at both ends of the cable. The highest OM3 grade (over 10 Gigabit bandwidth) glass fibres improve connection over the typical OM2. Alongside full 4K/8K HDR picture quality, this premium HDMI cable benefits from improved audio performance and heavy shielding against HF noise.
The Chord Shawline HDMI Active is available in 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 10m, 15m & 20m standard lengths. Custom lengths of up to 50m are available by special order.

Following concerns that copper-only cable is being stretched to the limit of its capability, Chord explored optical technology. This carries the ever-more demanding signals required by the latest (and future) players, processors and screens. Unlike TOSLINK cables, where the entire signal is carried down optical fibres, the Active HDMI cable is a hybrid of 7 copper cables and 4 optical fibres.
The advantage of optical fibre is that it doesnโt pick up HF noise. The same is not true for the copper cables. This potential weakness, coupled with the longer cable lengths involved, means that HF noise on the signal earth is inevitable.
Even though the Shawline Active HDMI is a digital โopticalโ cable, the copper cables have protection from external HF noise pollution. Beneath the external PVC jacket, we have incorporated a double aluminium foil shielding system.
