Hybrid Fibre Optic HDMI 2.0 Cables
Shop hybrid fibre optic HDMI 2.0 cables at Aus Electronics Direct for long-distance video and audio connections between compatible HDMI devices. These cables are designed for installations where a conventional HDMI cable may not be suitable for the required cable run.
Choose the right cable for your setup by comparing length, supported resolution, refresh rate, bandwidth and device compatibility. Hybrid fibre optic HDMI cables are available for a range of home entertainment, projector, gaming and professional AV applications.
Why Choose a Fibre Optic HDMI 2.0 Cable?
An Active Optical Cable (AOC) HDMI uses fibre-optic strands instead of traditional copper wire to transmit high-definition audio and video signals over long distances (up to 100 metres) with zero signal loss or latency
For longer cable runs: Fibre-based HDMI cables are an option for connecting equipment across rooms, through buildings or between AV equipment and displays over longer distances. Confirm the supported distance and installation requirements for the specific cable.
For 4K video: HDMI 2.0-compatible products may support 4K video at up to 60Hz and bandwidth up to 18Gbps, depending on the cable's specifications and the connected devices.
For AV installations: Consider fibre optic HDMI cables for compatible televisions, projectors, monitors, media players, computers and other HDMI-equipped devices.
How to Choose the Right HDMI Cable
Cable length: Measure the route between your source device and display, allowing for the cable path and installation requirements. Choose a suitable length without excessive slack.
Resolution and refresh rate: Check that the cable supports the resolution and refresh rate required by your display and source equipment.
HDMI version and features: Confirm compatibility with the features you need, such as HDR, HDCP, audio return channel or other supported functions. Do not assume every feature is supported by every cable.
Connection direction and installation: Some active optical HDMI cables are directional, with separate source and display ends. Check the markings and manufacturer's instructions before installation.
Browse the available hybrid fibre optic HDMI 2.0 cables to compare specifications and select a suitable connection for your AV setup.
