Product Information

Full details

This active HDMI AOC hybrid fiber optic cable is for users needing to transmit uncompressed 8K 60Hz video and audio over long distances without signal loss or latency. Its key benefit is delivering the highest signal quality with maximum interference resistance up to 20 meters, making it ideal for home cinemas, meeting rooms, and professional AV installations. A potential caveat is that it's an active cable, meaning it requires a powered HDMI port for optimal performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum length of this cable?

This active HDMI AOC hybrid fiber optic cable supports signal transmission up to 20 meters.

Does this cable require external power?

As an active cable, it draws power from the HDMI port of the connected source device. Ensure your source device provides sufficient power over its HDMI port for optimal performance.

Can I use this cable for gaming?

Yes, with its 48 Gbps bandwidth and support for HDMI 2.1 features like high refresh rates (up to 60Hz at 8K) and low latency, it is suitable for high-performance gaming.

What resolutions does this cable support?

This cable supports resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz (UHD-2), as well as lower resolutions such as 4K.

Is this cable compatible with HDCP 2.2?

Yes, the cable fully supports HDCP 2.2, which is essential for playing protected content from sources like 4K Blu-ray players and streaming services.

How does the hybrid fiber optic construction benefit the signal?

The hybrid construction combines fiber optic and copper conductors. The fiber optics handle high-speed data transmission over long distances with minimal signal loss, while the copper elements help with power delivery and EMI resistance, ensuring a stable and interference-free signal.

What does 'AOC' stand for in this cable's description?

AOC stands for Active Optical Cable. This means the cable contains active electronic components to process and transmit the signal, allowing for longer cable runs and higher bandwidth compared to passive cables.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal.

Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the source and display devices. Verify that both devices are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input/output. Check if the source device's HDMI port provides sufficient power for an active cable. Try connecting with a shorter, standard HDMI cable to test device functionality.

Intermittent signal drops or flickering.

Confirm that the cable is not excessively bent or damaged. Ensure there are no strong sources of electromagnetic interference very close to the cable run. Test the cable with different source and display devices to isolate the issue.

Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 4K instead of 8K).

Verify that both your source device and display device support 8K resolution and the necessary HDMI 2.1 features. Ensure the device settings are configured to output the desired resolution. The cable itself supports up to 8K, but the devices must also be capable.

Audio issues (e.g., no sound, distorted audio).

Check that the ARC (Audio Return Channel) is enabled in the settings of both the TV and the connected audio device (if applicable). Ensure high-quality audio formats are supported by both devices and are correctly configured. Re-verify cable connections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest 8K resolution at 60Hz for future-proof setups.
  • 48 Gbps bandwidth ensures smooth, uncompressed data transfer.
  • Active fiber optic technology guarantees signal integrity over long distances (up to 20m).
  • Excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to hybrid construction.
  • Slim cable design with a tight bending radius simplifies installation in tight spaces.
  • Plug & Play functionality for hassle-free setup.

Cons

  • As an active cable, it requires a powered HDMI source port.
  • May not be compatible with older HDMI devices that do not support the required handshake signals.
  • Fiber optic connectors can be more delicate than traditional copper connectors.
  • The gold color might not suit all aesthetic preferences, though the cable itself is black.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable features a Plug & Play design. Simply connect one end to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console, PC) and the other end to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor). Ensure both devices are powered on.

Compatibility:

The cable is compliant with HDMI 2.1 specifications, supporting features like HDR, HDCP 2.2, ARC, CEC, and EDID. It is backward compatible with earlier HDMI versions, but the full 8K 60Hz performance is only achievable when both the source and display devices support HDMI 2.1 features and the required bandwidth.

Care:

  • Handle the connectors gently to avoid damaging the internal fiber optic components.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors. The recommended bending radius is 20 mm.
  • Keep the connectors clean. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth or a specialized connector cleaning tool. Do not use liquids.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
