ACT 15m HDMI 8K Ultra High Speed Certified Active Optical Cable v2.1 48 Gbit/s

The ACT 15m HDMI 8K Ultra High Speed Certified Active Optical Cable v2.1 supports 48 Gbit/s data transfer and is designed for long-distance HDMI connections without signal degradation. The cable uses an active optical construction combining copper and glass to maintain high-bandwidth transport over its 15 m length while remaining flexible and easy to route. With HDMI Type A male connectors on both ends and a black outer jacket, the cable is compatible with devices that require HDMI v2.1 bandwidth as well as earlier HDMI versions.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers full 48 Gbit/s bandwidth across a 15 m span, enabling reliable transmission of high-resolution video and audio. Its certified Ultra High Speed HDMI v2.1 specification ensures compatibility with 8K@60Hz signals and supports lower HDMI versions for backward compatibility. The combination of copper and glass conductors provides low loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while the robust connectors and outer jacket are built for repeated installations in professional environments such as control rooms and studios.

Suitable for

• Connecting 8K displays, professional monitors and TVs over long distances
• Broadcasting, control room and studio signal distribution
• High-bandwidth home cinema and AV installations
• Workstations or racks where flexible, durable cable runs are required

How to use

Connect one HDMI Type A male connector to the HDMI output of the source device and the other connector to the HDMI input of the display or receiver. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or crushing of the cable along the run. The cable is active and does not require external power in typical HDMI installations; follow device-specific settings for resolution and refresh rate to match the connected display (for example selecting 8K@60Hz on compatible hardware).

Recommendations

Route the cable away from large electromagnetic noise sources and avoid tight radii near connectors to preserve optical integrity. Use this certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable in professional AV installations where consistent high-bandwidth performance and durability are required. For best results, verify that both source and display hardware support HDMI 2.1 features you intend to use (such as 8K@60Hz), and update device firmware if recommended by the manufacturer.
