Kordz New R.4 Series Successfuly

Passes DPL Labs®

New 48G Enhanced Reference Standard

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ormond Beach, FL – Kordz has once again demonstrated its commitment to engineering excellence with their new R.4 48Gbps Rack and Marine HDMI® Cable range successfully passing the DPL Labs® Enhanced HDMI® Test Standards, one of the most demanding independent evaluation programs in the professional AV industry.

The DPL Labs® Enhanced HDMI Test Standards are designed to exceed baseline HDMI® compliance by stressing products at elevated bandwidths and tighter electrical margins. Rather than validating basic functionality, the program evaluates signal integrity and eye pattern waveforms to confirm stable, error free transmission under conditions that more closely reflect real-world high-performance installations. Passing this program confirms not only capability but repeatable consistency across production samples.

The Kordz R.4 HDMI® Cable was engineered specifically for close proximity high bandwidth applications. During evaluation, multiple samples were tested to verify repeatable performance, ensuring results were not limited to a single optimized unit. This focus on statistical consistency reflects the core design philosophy behind the R.4 platform.

Interoperability testing was extended further through DPL Labs® Lab to Live™ test operation, where each device under test was stressed across a wide range of high-performance HDMI® source and sink products. This methodology validates real world compatibility under demanding system level conditions rather than controlled laboratory isolation.

Testing confirmed stable operation across high speed HDMI® data channels, maintaining signal margin integrity under increased stress conditions. Results validate the R.4 HDMI Cable’s ability to support modern HDMI®use cases including high frame rate video, advanced HDR formats and uncompressed audio transport without reliance on aggressive equalization or system compensation.

“The DPL Labs® Enhanced Testing Platform is fundamentally about engineering discipline and measurable outcomes,” said James Chen, Managing Director, “The R.4 HDMI Cable was developed with the understanding that short HDMI® cables are often the most electrically demanding. This certification confirms that our design and manufacturing controls deliver consistent results.”

Performance consistency is driven by controlled conductor geometry, tight impedance management and disciplined material selection. Signal timing variation is maintained to within less than 10 picoseconds, reducing reflections, skew and insertion loss while preserving clean eye patterns at the receiver. For engineers and professional integrators, this translates into predictable system behavior, faster integration and reduced risk during certification and deployment.

As HDMI® data rates continue to increase, close proximity cabling is no longer a passive afterthought but an active contributor to overall system performance. Successful completion of the DPL Labs® Enhanced HDMI® Test Standards reinforces the Kordz R.4 4Gbps Rack and Marine Passive HDMI® Cable’s position as a precision engineered solution designed for environments where performance is defined by numbers, not assumptions.

DPL Labs® Certification Program was created to assist cable buyers, both consumer and industry, in selecting the best performing and most reliable HDMI cables. Last year, DPL updated its testing process to consider the latest revisions for 48G and Ultra96 HDMI specifications and requirements for emission standards. Certain visionary cable brands maintaining their high-end positioning submit their cables to be put through rigorous, multi-stage testing. All testing is done by specially trained DPL engineers in our completely independent testing laboratory.

Those cables that meet or exceed DPL Labs standard of excellence are cables that offer far better performance and longer-term reliability than “typical” HDMI cables. These cables, and only these cables, are awarded the prestigious DPL 48G Enhanced Reference Standard – an easily recognizable registered trademark label that instantly identifies those products that have surpassed DPL standards. Look for the DPL Labs Enhance Performance certification label.

“Only the Best Pass the Test”

Dealers, installers, and consumers rely upon the DPL Certification Label as their assurance of quality and reliable product performance.
