Product Description
A 40m active optical HDMI cable built for running 4K NVR output from a plant room or comms cabinet through to a remote monitor wall or control room, without the signal loss that plain copper HDMI suffers over that distance.
Key specs
- HDMI 2.0 High Speed certified, 4K@60Hz (3840x2160) at 4:4:4 chroma, 18Gbps bandwidth, with HDR and ARC support
- Hybrid OM3 multimode fibre + copper construction, 4.8–5mm outer diameter, Kevlar-armoured for long conduit or duct pulls
- External power-free — no inline booster needed for rack-to-building runs
- Gold-plated connectors with double foil shielding; HDCP 2.2, EDID/CEC compliant
- Unidirectional, 48mm bend radius, backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 for legacy surveillance kit
- Plenum CMP-rated PVC jacket, rated -20°C to 70°C, 20kg tensile strength for permanent installs
Where it fits
This length suits multi-storey office blocks, warehouse sites and campus-style installations where the NVR sits in a comms room well away from the viewing station — control rooms, reception displays or a manager's office. Because it's unidirectional, confirm source and display ends before running it through containment, and check the connected NVR/display support the resolution and refresh rate you need.
The Kevlar-reinforced jacket and CMP plenum rating make it suitable for pulling through risers and ceiling voids on permanent fit-outs rather than desk or short-run use, where a standard copper HDMI lead remains the simpler choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which resolution and refresh rate can this HDMI cable handle?
It's rated for 4K (3840x2160) at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma, running over 18Gbps bandwidth, and is HDMI 2.0 High Speed certified.
Does this cable need external power over a 40m run?
No — it's designed for external power-free operation across rack-to-building spans thanks to its hybrid OM3 fibre and copper construction.
Is this cable suitable for pulling through ceiling voids or conduit?
Yes, it has a Kevlar-armoured, plenum CMP-rated PVC jacket with 20kg tensile strength, intended for permanent installations through risers and ducting.
Can it be used with older HDMI equipment?
Yes, it's backward compatible with HDMI 1.4, which suits integrating with legacy surveillance equipment, but note the cable is unidirectional so source and display ends must be connected correctly.
