Product Description
What it's for
This is a 10m HDMI 2.0 active optical cable (AOC), HDMI-A male to male, built to carry a 4K feed from an NVR to a remote monitor over a run that passive copper cannot handle cleanly. It suits control rooms, video walls and any install where the NVR sits in a rack away from the display.
Key specs
- HDMI 2.0 High Speed certified — 4K@60Hz (3840x2160) 4:4:4, 18Gbps bandwidth
- HDR, ARC and CEC support
- HDCP 2.2, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio compatible
- Hybrid OM3 fibre + copper construction, 4.5mm slim outer diameter, Kevlar reinforced for plenum/conduit pulls
- Gold-plated connectors with double shielding; no external power needed
- Pull-eye connectors rated to withstand 10kg tension
- Operating range -20°C to 70°C, suited to permanent installs
- Works with 1080p sources through backward compatibility with HDMI 1.4.
- Unidirectional signal — install source-to-display, not reversed
Selection notes
Because it's active fibre/copper rather than passive copper, it's the right pick once a run is genuinely long — at 10m it avoids the signal degradation that limits ordinary HDMI leads. The Kevlar-reinforced jacket and pull-eye rating make it suitable for pulling through conduit during first-fix cabling, and the double shielding helps where the run sits near rack PSUs or Ethernet cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable need external power?
No — despite being an active optical cable, it runs without an external power supply.
Will it work with older 1080p sources?
Yes, it stays compatible with HDMI 1.4 when carrying 1080p sources.
Can it be pulled through conduit during installation?
The Kevlar-reinforced jacket and pull-eye connectors are rated to withstand 10kg tension, suiting plenum/conduit pulls.
Which direction does the signal run?
The cable is unidirectional, so it should be installed source-to-display rather than reversed.
