Black Braided 4K HDMI Active Optical Cable
A black 4K HDMI active optical cable for long runs to a 4K display or projector. The ends are marked Source and Display, so the direction is obvious before you install it.
This is listed as the braided 4K version. The housings are black molded plastic with a tapered shape and a ribbed strain relief. “HDMI” is printed on each housing, with Source on one end and Display on the other. It is directional. Source goes into the player or PC, Display goes into the TV or projector. Get it backwards and there is no picture, so check the labels before the cable disappears into a wall or ceiling. The signal runs over fiber for the long middle stretch, with active modules at each end doing the conversion. That keeps the signal steady over distances where a long passive copper cable would start to drop out, and the fiber picks up less interference from nearby mains cables and gear. This is a 4K-class cable. The exact link rate and refresh rate depend on the validated 4K SKU, so we do not quote a bandwidth number here — the source material does not give one. No cable length is stated either, so confirm the length you need before ordering. It suits conference rooms, classrooms, home cinema, and retail signage — anywhere the screen is a long way from the source and you want one cable to do the job.
