Slim Black Logo HDMI Active Optical Cable
A slim black HDMI active optical cable for long runs where a regular copper cable starts to struggle. The two ends are clearly marked Source and Display, so it goes in the right way round the first time.
This is the cable to reach for when the screen is a long way from the source. It carries HDMI video and audio over a hybrid optical link: the active modules in the plugs convert the signal for the fibre section and convert it back at the display end. That keeps the signal steady over room-scale and building-scale runs, and the fibre section is less bothered by electrical interference than a long copper cable. It is also lighter and easier to pull through conduit than a thick copper run of the same length. The housings are slim and black, with the HDMI logo printed down the front and Source and Display printed at the top of each plug. The cable only works one way round. Check the labels before you push the plugs in — Source goes to the player, console or PC, Display goes to the TV or projector. One thing to confirm before ordering: the source material gives no length, resolution or bandwidth for this version. It is sold as a long-run HDMI cable, and the exact length and the version you need should be confirmed against the order. Do not assume a 4K or 8K rating from this page.
