White Close-Up 8K HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable

A white 8K HDMI 2.1 active optical cable for long runs where a normal copper cable gives up. The two ends are marked Source and Display, so you can see at a glance which way it goes. The housings are white, which suits light-coloured rooms and installs where a black cable would stand out.

Categories: ,

This is an active optical HDMI cable, built for distance. The signal travels over fibre for the long stretch, with copper kept for the low-speed control lines. That is what lets it carry a high-bandwidth picture further than a passive copper cable of the same length, and it picks up less interference along the way. The housings are white and moulded, with “8K” printed on the source end. Each end is labelled — Source on one side, Display on the other — and there is a small arrow on each housing pointing the way the signal runs. It only works one way round, so check the labels before you plug it in. On performance: versions of this cable are rated up to 48 Gbps, 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at high refresh rates. That only holds with HDMI 2.1 equipment on both ends and with the validated cable version, so confirm the version and length you are ordering before you promise a customer a specific number. Good for an 8K TV fed from a rack in another room, a 4K high-refresh gaming setup, a big presentation screen, or any run where the source and the display sit a long way apart.
