Certified "Ultra High Speed" by HDMI Licensing, Photon 48 has the bandwidth to support all the latest HDMI-2.1 features, including exciting new gaming capabilities, such as: 4K@120 FPS (3840x2160) gaming, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 120 FPS/144Hz, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT) — all of which work to ensure smooth, lag-free, uninterrupted viewing and interactivity.

Of course, Photon 48 isn't only made for video games. Like all AudioQuest 48 Series HDMI cables, Photon 48 handles resolutions up to 10K, refresh rates up to 120Hz, and offers a superior, immersive audio/video experience when streaming shows, concerts, or movies in 2K or 4K.

The performance advantages made possible by AudioQuest's superior materials and design — significantly improved sound and more consistently reliable synching between audio/video components — are especially beneficial to those who use Xbox and PlayStation consoles as hubs for streaming music, movies, TV, and videos.

As with all AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 control and signal conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimize performance-damaging RF Noise by "directing" (draining) it away from the most vulnerable circuits. Signal conductors employ AudioQuest's Solid Long-Grain Copper, a high-purity metal that minimizes noise and ensures overall performance.
