Slim Silver 4K HDMI Active Optical Cable

A slim silver 4K HDMI active optical cable for runs that are too long for copper. Slim metal housings, clearly marked Source and Display ends, and a fibre middle section that holds the signal steady.

This is the silver version of the slim-housing 4K cable. The housings are slim silver metal, with HDMI printed on them and Source and Display marked on each plug, plus a small arrow showing the signal direction. It plugs in like any HDMI cable, but the middle of the run is optical: the signal is converted in the plug, carried over fibre, and converted back at the display. That is what makes it useful for long runs — less signal loss than copper over distance, and less trouble from electrical interference along the way. It is a 4K cable, but the exact link rate, refresh rate and maximum distance depend on the validated 4K SKU. The source material doesn’t give those numbers, so this page doesn’t quote them. Confirm the SKU and length before ordering — don’t assume it will do 4K at 60 Hz at every length. The cable only works one way round. Source goes to the player, console or PC. Display goes to the TV or projector.
