Next Generation Home Products (NGHP) has earned DPL Certification on 10 of its Xtreme Series HDMI cables.

All NGHP HDMI cables earned a "3" or "4" rating (out of "5") in both Class B and Class C testing, which DPL says is its "most challenging" testing category.

The company's six-meter cable earned a "3" in both Class B and Class C. The one-meter HDMI cable received a "4" rating in both testing classes.

NGHP's cables were tested in Class B with 1080p resolutions, refresh rates of 60 Hz and 8-bit color depth. The company's Class C cables offer 1080p resolutions, refresh rates of 60 Hz and 16-bit color depth.

Here's a breakdown of the results.
