The Alpha USB Audio Cable is the second product I've received from FIBBR for review. Introduction I was highly impressed with the Pure 2 HDMI cable they sent me a few weeks ago. My first impressions of the Alpha USB sample I have are that it's 10 meters long, requires power at one end and has a unique white finish on the connectors. I see FIBBR doesn't want to leave out the PC audio guys with this USB cable. Let's jump right into the review!

We've now put theFIBBR Ultra Pro Fibercable through seven months of nearly daily use and are very pleased with its performance. Firstly, the Ultra Pro survived many months of additional heavy construction after installation. I was a bit nervous as the team from Value Electronics removed the painters' tape I had used to cover each of the cables head units, but the cable linked to the C8 OLED and my Anthem MRX-1120 with no issues whatsoever, with the small blue icon indicating pairing.

Highlights:Full HDMI 2.0x functionality over 50-feet, quality construction, thin and light as compared to traditional long-run passive HDMI cables, smart LED lights indicate connection status, fiber optic design. Summary:The FIBBR Ultra Pro is a highly competent, well made, fiber optic HDMI 2.0 cable that provides 4K UHD HDR functionality over 15-meteres (nearly 50-feet) of distance. The cable's omnidirectional connection requirements are confirmed by a series of LED indicator lights on the source end of the cable, in addition to clearly identifiable markings. Our tests demonstrated the cable's ability to reliably pass-through 4K HDR (including Dolby Vision) video and multi-channel audio.

Prepare for some heated debates — or not — as theFIBBR Ultra Pro HDMI 2.0 Fiber Optical Cablesarrive and I give them a good once over. Professional audio/video reviewers might consider that a formal evaluation of HDMI cables generates as much visceral excitement as kissing your elderly maiden aunt on her forehead. I would quite vigorously beg to differ. Over the past decade, the manufacture of HDMI cables that allow your expensive electronics to talk to each other has morphed into a multi-million dollar industry with new companies sprouting up every time you turn around. Do silver core cables yield better images or sonics than copper cables? This question might cause heated debates that can turn neighbor against neighbor and threaten the civility of traditional holiday gatherings. The answer to such questions may actually be neither of the above as the Chinese company FIBBR (pronounced “fiber”) has a product that could become the best solution for A/V system hookups.

CE Pro recently got a chance to check out a 10-meter FIBBR fiber-optic cable ahead of CEDIA 2017. We hooked it up to an Epson Pro Cinema 6040 projector, Stewart Filmscreen Phantom HALR screen and Onkyo TX-RZ810 A/V receiver. Replacing an existing eight-meter HDMI 2.0 cable with the FIBBR product took a matter of minutes. The company's approach to packaging and instructions is vaguely reminiscent of Apple's. Using a nice package that neatly holds the contents in place, the sleeve of the package outlines the steps necessary to install the cable.

[IT동아 김영우 기자] 최근 디스플레이 기기 시장에서 고급형과 보급형을 구별하는 기준은 기존의 풀HD급 대비 화면이 4배나 더 정교한 UHD(4K) 해상도, 그리고 화면 전반의 광원 및 컬러 표현 능력을 배가시키는 'HDR(High Dynamic Range)’ 기술을 갖추고 있는 지의 여부다. TV 및 모니터 시장에 이런 제품이 점차 늘어나고 있으며, 블루레이나 넷플릭스와 같은 주요 콘텐츠 플랫폼들도 UHD와 HDR 지원 폭을 넓히고 있다.
