HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The active optical cable portfolio supports HDMI 4K and 8K resolution over distances up to 100 meters, with USB variants engineered for data, video, and charging applications reaching 15 meters or 50 meters depending on use case requirements. Custom optical modules integrate PCBA technology for specific project requirements, with HDMI modules powering HDMI Active Optical Cable products and USB modules supporting USB Active Optical Cable applications.
Savlink demonstrated hybrid cable designs combining fiber optic and copper conductors within single assemblies, allowing both optical and electrical signal transmission. The company manufactures fiber optic cables at volume for multiple applications and offers customized optical module solutions designed internally for integration into customer devices or resale as standalone components.
The booth displayed camera integration projects utilizing MIPI single lock interfaces with fiber connectivity, showing how customized cable assemblies attach directly to imaging devices. Stand patch cables featuring various connector types serve IT infrastructure applications, while the overall product range spans consumer, enterprise, and specialized industrial deployment scenarios across the AV and broadcast sectors.
Savlink operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer handling R&D, module design, and cable production rather than simple assembly operations. The company attributes its competitive position to complete control over optical module engineering and manufacturing processes, supporting both standard active optical cable products and bespoke project configurations for system integrators and device manufacturers.
