Silver Tapered HDMI Active Optical Cable

A silver tapered HDMI active optical cable for long runs where copper starts to struggle. Tapered silver housings that narrow toward the plug, clearly marked Source and Display ends, and a fibre middle section that keeps the signal steady.

Categories: ,

This is the silver tapered version of the slim-housing cable. The housings are silver and taper down toward the plug, with the HDMI logo printed down the front and Source and Display printed at the top. The taper is the point: the plug end is narrower, so it sits better in a tight port and is easier to feed through a small hole or conduit opening. 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 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.

  • Connectors: directional HDMI Type-A (Source) to HDMI Type-A (Display)
  • Housing: silver tapered, HDMI logo printed on the housing, Source / Display labels, arrow markers
  • Signal path: active modules convert electrical to optical and back; fibre section reduces sensitivity to electromagnetic interference
  • Length: not stated in the source — confirm before publishing
  • Resolution / bandwidth: not stated in the source — confirm before publishing
  • Same cable family is offered in more than one housing style; check the housing in the photo before ordering.

Compatibility

Any source with a standard HDMI Type-A output (media player, PC, games console, set-top box) and any display with a standard HDMI Type-A input (TV, projector, monitor); Directional: Source end must go to the source device, Display end to the display. It will not work backwards.; Resolution and refresh rate depend on the version ordered — confirm the SKU first.

Application scenarios

  • Meeting rooms — rack or wall box to a wall-mounted display
  • Home theater — AV receiver or player to a projector across the room
  • Digital signage — media player to a screen down a corridor or in another room
  • Control rooms and classrooms — long runs where copper would be too bulky or unreliable
