DIGITUS Armored HDMI AOC Fiber Optic Cable, UHD 8K, 50 m

48 Gbps of bandwidth propels 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz signals across 50 meters without a single repeater or booster. This DIGITUS armored HDMI Active Optical Cable converts electrical HDMI signals into light pulses, eliminating interference and signal loss over long distances. The metal armor jacket withstands crushing, bending, and rodent damage, making it ideal for permanent in-wall, ceiling, or under-floor installations in home theaters, conference rooms, and digital signage.

Overview

Engineered for HDMI 2.1, this hybrid fiber-copper cable supports the full 48 Gbps data rate, enabling uncompressed 8K video with Dynamic HDR, eARC, and advanced gaming features like VRR and ALLM.
