Cables to Connect

Upgrading your HDMI cable with your console is a great way to ensure it reliably performs at the stunningly fast 4K 120fps while also future-proofing your system for the next generation of 8K games and other 8K content.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S deliver immersive high-speed 4K motion that’s smoother and more life-like when compared with the current Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and other standard consoles. The Austere VII Series 8K HDMI cables can carry a graphics rich bandwidth up to 48Gbps and take full advantage of other graphic upgrades like 120 frames per second input and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) of Sony and Microsoft’s new gaming consoles. In addition to VRR, the Austere VII Series 8K HDMI cable supports other enhanced media features of the latest HDMI 2.1 specification including Auto Latency Mode, Quick Media Switching and Quick Frame Transport to provide smooth performance and virtually eliminate image lag, stutter, and frame tearing, giving a brilliant visual and audio gaming experience.

We have  engineered our cables using the most advance materials available, our all-metal gold shielded contacts, silver-plated conductors and LinkFit connector ensure a lifetime of unparalleled game play.

Power to Protect

These next generation gaming consoles are big investments. Spending a little extra on a high-quality surge protector to power them, and your entire gaming setup, will give you peace of mind that your system is protected from the potential harm caused by electrical spikes and surges. Not to mention Austere Power surge protectors use PureFiltration technology, which results in noticeably crisper video and audio for an enhanced gaming experience.

And to kick off a great year of gaming, here is a list of games that support 4K at 120fps.
