ACT 20 meters DisplayPort Active Optical Cable DisplayPort male - DisplayPort male

The ACT DisplayPort Active Optical Cable AK4032 (20 m) combines multimode optical fibre and copper conductors to transmit video and audio signals over long distances without data loss. The cable features male DisplayPort connectors on both ends and supports DisplayPort 1.2a with HBR up to 5.4 Gbps (total bandwidth 21.6 Gbps), allowing 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and HDCP 1.1 / 1.3 compatibility. The hybrid construction keeps AUX and hot plug channels on copper lines while the optical core carries high-speed data; the cable is supplied on a coil, is flexible and designed for easy installation.

Advantages

The hybrid copper–glass design enables long-distance transmission up to 20 m for this model without signal degradation while maintaining support for high-resolution 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. Compliance with DP1.2a, HBR bandwidth and HDCP versions ensures broad compatibility with monitors, projectors and graphics sources. The cable’s flexible construction, coil delivery and plug-and-play operation simplify installation and reduce handling complexity.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops or media players to 4K monitors at distances up to 20 m
• Hooking up projectors in meeting rooms or lecture halls
• AV installations where long, flexible DisplayPort runs are required

How to use

Connect the male DisplayPort plug on one end to the source device (PC, laptop, media player) and the other end to the DisplayPort input of the monitor or projector. Ensure both devices support the desired resolution and HDCP version. The cable is plug-and-play; no external power or drivers are required. Route the flexible cable as needed and uncoil it from the reel before final placement to avoid kinks.

Recommendations

For reliable 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 performance, check that both source and display are DP1.2a-capable and configured for the correct resolution and refresh rate. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and secure the cable to prevent strain. If using long runs through plenum or conduit, verify local installation codes for optical cables.
