EQUIP HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable 20m, Detachable Type-A/Type-D, 4K/60Hz, 18 Gbit/s, Gold-plated contacts

The Equip HDMI 2.0 Detachable Type D + A Active Optical Cable uses active optical technology to provide stable high-definition connectivity over long distances. Supporting HDMI 2.0, the cable transmits up to 4K at 60Hz with HDR and is suitable for gaming, home theater, cameras, laptops, projectors and displays. Its detachable design integrates Micro HDMI (Type D) and Standard HDMI (Type A) connectors in a single cable, simplifying compatibility and reducing adapter needs. The lightweight fiber construction resists electromagnetic interference and facilitates installation in confined spaces or large venues.

Advantages

The cable combines HDMI 2.0 bandwidth (up to 18 Gbit/s) with active optical transmission to preserve signal integrity on runs up to 100 m. Gold-plated connectors and zinc-alloy housings improve contact reliability and durability. The detachable Type D/Type A configuration supports a wide range of source devices and displays while the compact optical design reduces bulk and interference. This AOC is unidirectional and must be connected from source to display following the cable direction marking.

How to use

Check the cable direction marking and connect the end labelled for the source to your output device (camera, laptop, media player). Connect the other end to the display (monitor, projector, TV). Make sure both devices support required HDMI features (HDMI 2.0, HDR, HDCP) for full functionality. Route the fiber optic cable without sharp bends or kinks and avoid tight clamping points to maintain optical performance. For long runs, verify source and display resolution and refresh rate settings and power cycle devices after connecting if the signal is not detected.

Recommendations

Use the AOC only in a source-to-display setup and verify the cable’s direction before installation. For reliable 4K/60Hz HDR performance, ensure both source and display support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. Avoid sharp bends and protect connectors when the cable is not in use.
