From PC Mag: At CES 2025, we got a first look at HDMI 2.2, the latest HDMI cable and connection standard, but we cautioned that it would take some time for any cables or devices that support it to hit the market. Now, as we go into CES 2026, the organization behind the standard is bringing a few prototype "Ultra96" cables to Las Vegas.
Rated up to 96Gbps, these new cables are faster than DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1, opening up options for higher resolution and refresh rate support on compatible modern displays.
"We will have some Ultra96 HDMI Cables at our [CES] booth," a spokesperson for the HDMI Licensing Administrator (HDMI LA) tells us. "These are officially 'prototypes' as they have not yet been officially tested and certified at an HDMI Forum Authorized Test Center (ATC).
"The testing and certification timing is dependent on when the HDMI Forum releases the Category 4 Cable Compliance Test Specification (CTS) as part of the HDMI 2.2 Specification," the spokesperson adds. "The HDMI Forum has made no public announcement on when that CTS is to be released, but it should be very soon."
