We are pleased to announce that JOHNSON COMPONENTS & EQUIPMENTS CO., LTD. (JCE), a member of the CTi Group, has achieved a critical milestone by securing the world’s first HDMI 2.2 Cable Certification for lengths up to 5 meters. This accomplishment sets a new industry benchmark for long-reach, high-speed connectivity.
Following the official announcement of the HDMI2.2 Specification at CES 2025, achieving strict compliance over extended distances has become a highly demanding challenge. Overcoming this hurdle signifies a huge leap in cable engineering and manufacturing technology.
Achieving this certification for a 5-meter cable proves our exceptional capability to maintain flawless signal integrity and meet the ultra-high-bandwidth requirements of the HDMI2.2 standard over long distances.
We are incredibly proud to announce that we have received official approval for the world’s first and longest HDMI2.2 Cable Certification (up to 5m), demonstrating our unwavering commitment to providing cutting-edge, high-performance solutions for the market!!
What is the maximum bandwidth upgrade in HDMI 2.2 compared to HDMI 2.1?
The most striking upgrade is the doubling of the maximum bandwidth from 48Gbps in HDMI 2.1 directly to 96Gbps.
What new protocol does HDMI 2.2 introduce to resolve audio-video synchronization (latency) issues?
HDMI 2.2 introduces the new Latency Indication Protocol (LIP), which allows source and display devices to communicate their respective latency status, enabling the system to smartly and efficiently compensate for audio-visual synchronization
What lengths are covered by JCE’s world-first HDMI2.2 Ultra96 Cable Certification?
| JCE Cable | AWG | OD (mm) | Length (m) |
| Ultra96 Certified Cable | 30 | 5.5 | 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 |
| 28 | 6.5 | 3 | |
| 24 | 9 | 5 |
