HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable Equip 119433 100m Male-Male

The Equip 119433 HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a hybrid male-to-male cable designed for long-distance HDMI transmission. It accepts the same electrical input as a traditional copper HDMI cable but uses optical multimode fibres for the high-speed TMDS signals and copper wires for low-frequency control signals. This 100 m black cable supports HDMI 2.0 features including 3D, up to 18 Gbit/s data transfer rate and Audio Return Channel (ARC), enabling extended runs without signal loss or additional power supply.

Advantages

The active optical design provides zero signal degradation and negligible latency over long distances. Combining optical fibres with copper conductors preserves high-speed video and audio performance while maintaining control signal integrity. The cable’s male HDMI Type A connectors on both ends and standard HDMI 2.0 feature set make it compatible with a wide range of sources and displays. No external power is required for typical operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting AV receivers, Blu-ray players or media players to remote displays up to 100 m away
• Long-distance HDMI links in conference rooms, auditoriums or digital signage installations
• Professional AV setups requiring reliable 4K/60Hz transmission and ARC support

How to use

Connect the HDMI Type A male connector at one end to the HDMI output of your source device and the HDMI Type A male connector at the other end to the HDMI input of your display or receiver. Ensure both devices support the required HDMI 2.0 features for full functionality. Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends in the optical fibre section and secure any excess length to prevent strain on the connectors. No separate power supply is typically needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bending radii and protect the cable from crushing or kinking. Verify source and display settings (resolution, refresh rate, and ARC) to match HDMI 2.0 capabilities. If encountering issues, test with shorter cable runs or check device compatibility with active optical HDMI links.
