ACT 20 meters HDMI High Speed 4K Active Optical Cable with detachable connector v2.0 HDMI-A male - HDMI-A male

The ACT AOC 20 m HDMI cable combines copper conductors and optical fiber to transmit 4K video and multi-channel audio over long distances up to 100 m without data loss. The active optical design provides an 18 Gbit/s (4:4:4) bandwidth and supports 3840×2160 (4K) at 60 Hz. The cable is supplied on a coil and has a detachable plug with a protector that includes a pulling eye for straightforward installation through conduits and plenum spaces. It also supports HDR, HDCP 2.2, EDID, DDC, CEC, Dolby TrueHD, DTS‑HD Master Audio, ARC and multi-channel audio.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable design (AOC) uses copper for signal interfaces and glass fiber for the long-distance transmission, enabling stable 4K@60Hz performance up to 100 m while minimising signal loss. The fiber is Kevlar‑reinforced and the cable includes aluminium foil shielding to reduce RFI/EMI, making it suitable for installations in sensitive environments. The detachable connector and pulling‑eye protector simplify running the ultra‑slim, flexible cable through narrow conduits. A USB power lead is included to connect an optional 5 V supply when a transmitter port cannot provide sufficient power.

How to use

Disconnect the detachable plug and attach the provided protector with pulling eye to the cable when you need to pull the cable through conduits or plenum spaces. Pull the ultra‑slim, flexible cable through the path, remove the protector and reconnect the detachable plug to the cable. Plug the HDMI Type A connectors into the source and display devices. If the HDMI transmitter port supplies insufficient power to the cable electronics, connect the included USB power cable to a 5 V USB power source.

Recommendations

Ensure correct orientation when connecting: the cable is marked to identify source and display ends. Use the USB power option only if the image or audio is unstable or if the transmitter reports insufficient power delivery.
