IBRA 4K HDMI Fiber Optic Cable 10M, 48Gbps 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable/AOC Support 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz/144Hz HDR eARC Dolby Atmos

Product Information

It is important to note that the Highwings Fiber Optic HDMI Cable is designed for unidirectional transmission. There are also different types of HDMI cables made with different materials. There are HDMI cables made with copper and others made with fiber optic. Fiber optic HDMI cables are mainly made for reaching farther than standard copper HDMI cables while keeping the high speed of the HDMI 2.1 specifications. A fiber optic HDMI cable performs the same function as a typical (majorly copper) HDMI cable but at a more efficient rate. Like many other fiber optic cables, they help to transmit data in the form of light pulses using fine glass or plastic filament. It works much like every other fiber optic HDMI cable, simply insert the labeled ends into the right device, and everything should work great. Most people use this 10M cable to run high-resolution content, such as 4K, from a PC to a TV or similar display. 3 – Shulian Fiber Optic 2.0 4K HDMI Cable When using a fiber optic HDMI cable, you also don’t need to worry about latency or jitters over long distances.

Poor electrical grounding causes the HDMI signals to drop out frequently. The image and audio quality also take a significant hit over longer distances due to signal degradation. Unlike conventional HDMI cables, virtually all fiber optic HDMI cables can only transmit information in one direction. This is because amplifiers, equalizers, and filters are all built into the cable and cannot work in reverse. However, one thing still stands – if you need to transmit a signal that requires high bandwidth, or you need to send a signal further than 30 feet, fiber optic HDMI cables are pretty much your only choice. Sure, you can try signal boosters, you can try amplified HDMI cables, you could try plenty of alternatives – there’s certainly no shortage. As we all know, HDMI is one of the most popular A/V interfaces, as it is ideal for transmitting audio and video streams of the highest quality. If you are a video game enthusiast, you can use an HDMI cable to transmit high-resolution audio and video from your game box to a HDTV set. Unlike optical cables, copper-based HDMI cables have issues with interference and length. The main issue here is going to be the length. If you want to transfer 4K video over a copper HDMI, you can only reach around 30 ft. before you start having issues (more on that in our HDMI troubleshooting guide).To begin with, the cable itself is braided. You can’t bend it too far and damage it, you can’t rip it apart, and friction won’t do much damage either. The plugs are high quality and are gold plated, so they last a good while, too, and won’t fall apart even after extended use. Thanks to the optical transmission mechanism, fiber optic HDMI cables are immune to electromagnetic interference, ensuring pristine signal quality over long distances. Optical HDMI Cable, also called HDMI AOC （ Active Optical Cable ), is a kind of HDMI cable that uses optical fiber to achieve HDMI definition signal transmission and its photoelectric conversion lines are integrated at the interface. Optical fiber is a transmission medium used to transmit optical signals; Unlike the conventional copper HDMI cables, optical HDMI cables adopt optical fiber as a transmission medium and features an HDMI interface at both ends.

The gold-plated corrosion-resistant connectors further enhance the cable’s performance, ensuring a stable and top-tier image and sound quality. There were two versions released in 2015: one is HDMI 2.0a with extra support for HDR; the other is HDMI 2．0b additionally supporting another high dynamic range technology HLG. The cable comes at a 6 feet length, which is just right for a TV to an amp, or a TV to multimedia player setup. There’s also eARC support, so you can get that nice audio quality with plenty of details without any quality loss. To add to this, Dynamic HDR ensures that you have a wide dynamic range with great shadows and highlights, optimized on a scene-by-scene basis. This article will help explain all you need to know about fiber optic HDMI cables, such as how the cables work, what they are, and when to go for one. It will also discuss the age-old question: are they better than copper HDMI cables?

While you can get by with standard cables right now, display technology is rapidly advancing, especially with the advent of HDMI 2.1. As a result, getting a fiber optic cable means you’re less likely to need a replacement in the near future.

Many conventional HDMI cables can’t handle sending electronic signals over long distances. After reaching a certain point (about 7.5 meters or 25 feet), the signal starts to weaken. Ultimately, you will get a choppy display that’s unpleasant to watch. In fact, it might not display anything at all. With a bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, it supports high-resolution formats like 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz, and chroma 4:4:4 (no compression), all while delivering stunning Dynamic HDR. According to the specifications, the following fiber optic cable is about 60% thinner than a copper HDMI cable, making it suitable for installation through electrical conduits. You can bend the lead easily without damaging its internals. In 2017, HDMI 2.1 increased the supported bandwidth transmission rate to 48Gbps all at once, supporting video of 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz resolution and 16bit color depth, and dynamic HDR data transmission is possible, which can be compared to Dolby Vision . This 28-inch monitor comes with 4K resolution, which promises a crisp and clear display, coupled with a massive range of colors that further promote a fantastic gaming experience. How Do Fiber Optic HDMI Cables Work?This option gives you 50 meters of wiring and allows 8k display at up to 60Hz. It also displays 4k at a smooth 144 Hz. The Verdict With a bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, it supports high-resolution formats like 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and and chroma 4:4:4 (no compression), all while delivering stunning Dolby Vision HDR (10 bit/12 bit color depth).

This ability to catch the light and reflect it internally is what makes fiber optic cables so good and puts them far ahead of the competition.Because of this, many people who want to connect huge displays to smaller devices tend to opt for fiber optic cables. Downsides of Fiber Optic HDMI Cables There are various standards concerning HDMI . It is necessary to read up on these standards before you deeply learn more about optical HDMI cables . Correctly connecting the cable to the appropriate devices is crucial to ensure optimal performance and avoid any image-related issues. Active HDMI cables solve that problem by incorporating signal boosters to amplify the signal from the source and send it further down the line without it degrading. This lets the cable run far longer without the signal being overly negatively affected, making it possible to have HDMI devices and displays far further apart. This is particularly useful for professional settings like bar TVs, presentation screens in meeting rooms at the office, or for creating a hobby or entertainment room with convenient access to a source device like a Blu-ray player or desktop gaming PC. While fiber optic HDMI cables look strikingly similar to conventional ones, their components are slightly different. Traditional HDMI cables use oxygen-free copper with a purity level of 99.95% to transmit information.
