CableRated Launches Premium Performance HDMI Cable Brand Built by Reviewers, For Enthusiasts
Founded by Caleb Denison, Dipin Sehdev, and Alex Pasco, CableRated Debuts with Its First Product: A Performance-Focused 48 Gbps HDMI Cable Designed to Deliver Reliability Without the Hype
PORTLAND, OR — CableRated today announced the official launch of its new consumer electronics accessories brand, beginning with the company's flagship 48 Gbps HDMI cable. The company is a joint venture among Caleb Denison, founder of CalebRated and CD Creative Media; Dipin Sehdev, founder and CEO of CE Critic; and creative director Alex Pasco.
The idea behind CableRated was simple: no more guesswork, just proven performance.
After years of testing televisions, home theater gear, gaming systems, and other consumer technology, our team repeatedly encountered the same problem: an HDMI cable market divided between ultra-cheap commodity products and expensive “premium” options often promoted with questionable claims.
“We felt there was a gap in the market,” said Caleb Denison. “We weren’t interested in selling magic or snake oil. We wanted to build a cable that performed exactly as advertised, was durable and easy to use, and delivered the reliability I depend on when testing products professionally.”
To create the first CableRated product, our team worked with multiple manufacturing partners and evaluated what felt like an ocean of cable samples. We tested them, routed them, stressed them, and even surgically dissected them to separate meaningful engineering from empty promises. Signal integrity, construction quality, durability, connector design, flexibility, and long-term reliability all informed the final design.
The result is a cable designed to deliver dependable performance at an accessible price
Built for Real-World Performance
The CableRated HDMI cable is designed for enthusiasts, gamers, home theater owners, and anyone who wants confidence that their signal path is not introducing problems into their system.
Specifications include:
- Up to 48 Gbps bandwidth
- 8K up to 240Hz support
- 4K up to 480Hz support
- Gold-plated connectors
- Aluminum-magnesium connector housing
- Braided cable jacket
- Type-A HDMI connector
- 19-pin architecture
- ARC and eARC support
- FRL (Fixed Rate Link) support
- Backward compatibility with legacy HDMI devices
Rather than build the most expensive cable possible, CableRated set out to find the point where better materials and construction stopped delivering meaningful real-world benefits. The final design includes everything needed for dependable performance and durability, without costly excess that serves only to "justify" a higher price.
"We ordered countless samples and analyzed each of them, then compared them to premium cables to find out where the law of diminishing returns came into play," said Dipin Sehdev. "What we discovered is that consumers shouldn't have to choose between questionable quality and excessive pricing. We wanted to create a cable that simply works and continues working."
The Cable Caleb Uses
The launch cable also carries a unique distinction.
Going forward, these are the same cables Caleb Denison will use throughout his television reviews, product testing, and video content production.
As one of the world's most recognized TV reviewers, Denison's testing environments demand consistency and reliability. The same cables available to consumers are the cables used in CalebRated's evaluation and content production process.
"If I'm recommending a cable, I need to trust it myself," said Denison. "These are the cables I'll be using every day."
More Than Just Cables
While the company's first product focuses on HDMI connectivity, CableRated is already developing additional future products.
HDMI is only the starting point. CableRated is being built as a practical performance brand for people who care about their gear, whether they are building a serious home theater, setting up a game room, or just trying to make their system work the way it should. Future products may include additional video connectivity gear, audio accessories, home theater tools, and other products shaped by the same standard: useful performance, honest claims, and design choices made by people who actually use this stuff.
"We're just getting started," said Alex Pasco. "The goal isn't to launch one cable and call it a day. We're building a brand around products we personally want to use and recommend."
In addition to cables and accessories, CableRated's website will also feature official CalebRated merchandise, including apparel, drinkware, and fan-favorite items inspired by the CalebRated community.
