Answer: 96 Gbps is defined by HDMI 2.2, and cables above 48 Gbps require their own certification tier — so the buying question is not "is 2.2 out" but "does this model carry the 96 Gbps certification".
When sourcing:
- Ask for the certification status of that model, not the company.
- Ask which test house performed the ATC test and for the report.
- Do not accept a 48 Gbps certificate as evidence for a 96 Gbps claim — they are different tiers.
