USB cable “New Game”: Performance for the latest gaming setups
At the heart of the new series are USB cables that are designed for high data rates and stable signal quality. The cables use high-purity OFC copper for low-loss transmission, supplemented by up to triple shielding in the USB-C to USB-C variants to minimize radio interference and interference in densely occupied gaming setups. 24-carat gold-plated contacts are designed to ensure permanently low contact resistance, which is particularly beneficial for frequent use and many mating cycles.
The USB-C to USB-C model achieves up to 40 Gbit/s with a length of 0.75 meters and up to 20 Gbit/s for the variants with a cable length of two or three meters. This allows Oehlbach to address current hardware such as portable consoles, gaming laptops and PC peripherals that require high bandwidth and a reliable power supply at the same time, especially as up to 240 watts of power delivery is supported. For setups with classic hosts such as desktop PCs or stationary consoles, the manufacturer is also positioning USB-A to USB-C cables with up to 10 Gbit/s, which are particularly suitable for controllers, headsets, compact consoles and mobile devices. In both cases, the focus is on precise, stable and low-latency transmission, which is particularly important in competitive titles and esports scenarios when every millisecond counts.
HDMI 2.1b upgrade for consoles and high-end PCs
In addition to the USB cables, Oehlbach is promoting an HDMI cable that is based on the current HDMI 2.1b standard and therefore clearly focuses on next-gen console and high-end PC setups. With a specified bandwidth of up to 48 Gbit/s, the cable supports 4K at 120 Hz and 8K at 60 Hz, as well as 4K at up to 240 Hz thanks to DSC. This combination is aimed at smooth motion display and precise response implementation in fast games, where high frame rates and low latency have a direct impact on perception and responsiveness.
Additional gaming-relevant features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) are designed to further reduce image tearing and input delays. Lossless audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are also transmitted via eARC, which is particularly noticeable in living room setups with soundbars or AV receivers. The HDMI cable thus positions itself as a link between the console or PC and large-format displays, addressing both the graphic presentation and the acoustic staging of modern games.
Design, variants, prices and special offers
In addition to the technical data, Oehlbach emphasizes the robust construction and the gaming-oriented design of the “New Game” series. The cables have braided jackets in black or white, which are combined with colored accents on the plugs; blue, red and green are available, allowing the cables to be visually integrated into different setups. Reinforced kink protection at the transitions is designed to absorb mechanical stresses during frequent reconnection or transportation and increase the service life compared to simple standard cables. The construction is designed to withstand daily use at the desk, on the TV rack or on the move without any noticeable loss of signal quality over time.
The USB cables of both model series are available in three lengths: 0.75 meters for compact and mobile setups, two meters for flexible table or console solutions and three meters for larger distances in the living room. For USB-A to USB-C, Oehlbach quotes prices of 12.99 euros (0.75 m), 14.99 euros (2 m) and 19.99 euros (3 m), while USB-C to USB-C is priced at 14.99 euros (0.75 m), 19.99 euros (2 m) and 24.99 euros (3 m). The HDMI cables are available in the same color variants at 29.99 euros (2 m), 34.99 euros (3 m) and 49.99 euros (5 m). There is also a graduated offer at the start of the series: when purchasing two products from the USB and/or HDMI category, a 7% discount is granted in the shopping cart, with three products the discount increases to 12%; according to the manufacturer, the promotion is only valid while stocks last.
Conclusion: complete solution for high-signal gaming connections
With the “New Game” series, Oehlbach is targeting users who value performance and longevity in their gaming setup, not only for the console, PC and display, but also for the connections in between. The combination of high data rates, 240-watt power delivery with USB-C, HDMI 2.1b support as well as multi-layer shielding and gold-plated contacts addresses scenarios in which stable, fast and low-latency connections are required. In terms of price, the cables are clearly positioned in the quality accessory segment, but are somewhat cushioned by the limited-time discount offer. The series is now available in the Oehlbach gaming webshop and in the Amazon store, which allows for quick integration into existing setups.
