I didn't know such HDMI cable existed - LYW (MavisLink) 8K Active Fibre Optic HDMI 2.1

The most premium and fancy HDMI cable I've tried to date, thanks to LYW (MavisLink) for sending their 8K HDMI 2.1 Fibre Optic Cable 10M to test out.
Featuring specs like 48Gbps 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz HDR support.
But what's the actual difference?

Don't know why I kept saying LWY instead of LYW in the video! It stands for 'Link Your World'. By the way, I noticed it's listed as MavisLink in the US store, whereas it's called LYW here in the UK.

[@press_pause2236]

Great video as always. I assume that the cable is less flexible due to the fact that crinkles may break off the light. How do you get those sponsorings? Hope your channel will grow!

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Hey thanks buddy. I don’t dare crinkle or bend it too much but it’s quite flexible compared my other cables like the one shown in the video. It’s easier to handle especially at the connecting points so it can bend in different angles a lot easier. Not sure. Never been offered sponsorship before. Not sure how it works. Would love to find out one day. 😅 thanks for your kind words as always. 🙂

[@peterbdavies]

The issue with cheap cables is usually the connection. Just buy a cable that has decent connectors. Gold connectors are good.

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes I do wonder when they say it's made from gold, is it really though? Who or how would we ever know it's not just copper or something else 😅 Thanks for checking out my video by the way. Appreciate your input.

I need a 15 feet 4k 120hz hdmi cable do you know of a cheaper alternative? I want to put my gaming computer in an other room because of fan noises

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Hi, you should be able to use a cheaper alternative 15 ft HDMI cable for 4K120Hz. Just as an example like this one amzn.to/3IbLgYw Not tested by myself personally. Just wanted to ask, what kind of a beast machine have you got to run 4k120??

[@tanmay9268]

Very underrated channel, tell me is there anything I can do to help ?

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Thanks for the support and kind words. By watching, leaving comment and subscribing helps me tremendously already. 🙂

[@mohammedadnan4280]

I have moshou 8k hdmi 2.1 optical viber, it's best choice for ps5?

[@JoeLamOfficial]

I haven’t tried it myself but if it’s 8K compatible, I think it’s good for PS5

[@mioskyroller]

Doesnt it have latency after 6 feet?

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Shouldn't be an issue. Unless you mean specifically with fibre optic? You can regularly find longer standard copper HDMI cables.

[@mioskyroller]

@@JoeLamOfficial yeah i mean with fiber optic does it lose latency after a certain amount of feet

[@JoeLamOfficial]

4:00 mins I did a latency test.

[@mioskyroller]

@@JoeLamOfficial do you think i should still get if not ultra certified? I dont see sticker on this

[@JoeLamOfficial]

Do you need this length? If you’re worried about latency and cert. The only reason why this is special is because copper can’t quite reach the length. So fibre makes more sense but if not. A regular higher quality copper cable should do?

30cm vs 1000 cm
