Green Aluminum HDMI Active Optical Cable
A long-run HDMI active optical cable with green aluminum connector housings. The green ends are easy to spot in a rack or behind a panel, and both are printed Source and Display so the direction is clear. Fiber carries the signal, so the picture holds up over the long runs where copper gives up.
This cable is the green aluminum version of our HDMI active optical cable. The housings are a deep green aluminum, one marked Display and the other Source, each with a small arrow pointing the way the signal travels. The cable itself is black, shown coiled, with gold-plated HDMI plugs. The green housings are not just for looks. In a rack full of black cables, or in a ceiling void with several runs side by side, a colored connector is much faster to find than another black one. The color also makes the source and display ends easy to tell apart at a glance, which matters because this cable is directional — Source goes into the player or PC, Display goes into the screen.
It is built for long runs: projector and large-display connections, rack-to-screen links, and in-wall or conduit routing. The active modules convert the HDMI signal to light for the fiber section and back again at the display end. That keeps the signal steady over distance and makes the run less sensitive to interference from nearby mains and equipment. It is also lighter to pull through a conduit than a long copper cable of the same length.
A note on what is not stated: the source material for this model gives no resolution, no bandwidth figure and no cable length. Do not assume 4K or 8K from the name alone — the name only describes the housing. Confirm the version, resolution and length for the job before ordering.
