Extron HD 8K/6 (part number 26-743-06) — a 6 ft (1.8 m) Ultra High Speed HDMI cable rated to carry 48 Gbps.

HDMI 2.1 raised the ceiling far above what older High Speed cabling can move, and this is the assembly Extron built for that ceiling. It handles a maximum video data rate of 48.1 Gbps, which is what 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz actually costs. Signalling covers HDCP 1.4 and 2.3 with HDR, and the cable passes EDID, CEC, HEC and eARC straight through, so an audio return path or a gaming feature like VRR or ALLM works without an intermediate device.
