Kaibor is a well-known brand in the vertical field of high-definition hardware in China, and has released the first full HD player in Chinese mainland as early as 2005, which has made a small contribution to promoting the development of high-definition equipment technology in China. In addition to the sales to the public, Kaibor products are also the designated supplier of high-definition cables for many domestic enterprises and institutions, and are also the general distributors of Philips cables in China, and also have a certain share in the market.
Since the development of the above-mentioned players, the development of audio-visual peripheral products such as Kaibor cables has been put on the development agenda, initially to avoid the interference of equipment between different brands, so as to create a complete audio-visual playback system with its own support. With the continuous increase in the installation rate of Kaiboer HD set-top boxes, the included HDMI cable is also well-known to the public for its high quality. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2011, the sales volume of Kaiboer products has reached the first place in the sales of high-definition player channels.
In terms of China's HDMI cable R&D strength, Kaibor dares to call it the second, and no one dares to call it the first. The optical fiber HDMI cable developed by it is a new concept, and the biggest advantage is that when transmitting over long distances (more than 10 meters), the signal is not obvious or delayed, and the performance is better than that of traditional HDMI cables, and the diameter is thinner and the weight is lighter. However, it also has weaknesses, such as one-way transmission and non-bending, etc., and is relatively expensive and not suitable for ordinary household use.
The level of traditional HDMI cables in Kaibor is comparable to that of Akihabara, and they are all home-grade products. Its HDMI product line can be divided into three series: T/L/A, which are mainly cost-effective audiophile professional-grade products, and are aimed at consumer groups with home improvement engineering needs. The flagship T-series uses the HDMI 2.0 standard, but there is no 2.1 product, the conductor is fully silver-plated, and provides eight layers of shielding protection, and the jacket is made of blue PVC, which is perfect for burying in walls.
The T series performs well at 4K resolution, with a single meter priced at 189 yuan, and a distance of up to 10 meters is available. If you don't consider the problem of buried walls, you can choose two products of L and A series, with a single meter priced at 118 and 229 yuan respectively. The A series uses an encrypted nylon woven outer jacket, while the L series focuses on thin and light flat wires. It seems that the L series is easier to store, but the service life of flat wire bending is not long, so it is recommended to use ordinary round wire.
In addition to HDMI cables, Kaibor also provides public-to-public DP cables, which can provide 4K@60Hz and 2K@165Hz video transmission, 1.5 meters are priced at 128 yuan, and the latest optical fiber DP cables even support 8K transmission, which can be purchased on demand.
Although Kaibor is a domestic brand, some consumers have reported that some merchants sell copycat Kaibor products, and it is recommended to buy them through Kaiboer's e-commerce flagship store. In terms of aftermarket, both the L and A series come with a five-year warranty, while the T series comes with a lifetime warranty.
