Lindy 20m Fibre Optic Hybrid HDMI 8K60 Cable

Lindy's range of Fibre Optic Hybrid cables are a professional solution for extending HDMI signals over longer distances. Combining the flexibility and high EMI and RFI resistance of fibre optic cable with standard copper cabling, these hybrid cables are ideal for use in critical AV setups, commercial displays or high-performance residential installations.

The internal technology provides uncompressed amplification of the HDMI signal, allowing long distance extension of HDMI 8K content that is simply not possible with passive cables.

With 48Gbps bandwidth, these cables support HDMI 2.1 resolutions up to 3840x2160@120Hz, and 7680x4320 / 10240x4320@60Hz. Content can be viewed with incredible detail and clarity at higher refresh rates for optimum viewing of movies, graphics or imagery.

As well as static HDR, HDMI hybrid cables also brings further support for dynamic HDR formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+. This provides every moment of content, whether scene by scene or even frame by frame, with a much wider colour gamut based on the BT.2020 colour space, higher peak brightness and deep blacks for optimum contrasts as well as greater depth of colour. This is essential for the transmission of VOD content including TV shows and movies, as well as VR and video games, ideal in eSports, retail setups and superior home cinema installations.

The advance of audio control and formats is also brought forward with HDMI. eARC support further simplifies connectivity with compatible sound systems, amplifiers and soundbars, passing lossless audio from the source to the connected output over the cable. eARC also supports high bitrate audio with a sample rate of up to 192kHz and up to 32 channels. This allows for the use of object based audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, truly surrounding the viewer in immersive sound to enhance and compliment the video content. This is great for multi-dimension residential setups, cinema installations, or inspiring event distribution.

Whether used with residential gaming setups or premium eSports events, these AOC cables also provide extensive features for enhancing the gaming experience, whilst also benefitting fast moving sports and entertainment content. VRR (Variable Refresh rate) reduces and eliminates lag, judder and frame tearing for a much fluid gameplay experience whether it's for quick reactions in an action game or scoring a last minute winner in sports games. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) further helps this by enabling the ideal latency setting for smooth transitions of content. QFT (Quick Frame Transport) also assists with ensuring low latency, by transporting frames at a higher rate which can prove essential with real time VR gameplay. These features also benefit various other industries such as sports bar distribution, medical facilities, experiential displays or news broadcasting.

Please Note: eARC/ARC and CEC functions are not supported for lenghts over 20m.We can make cables up to 200m on request, contact us for quotations.

How to use

Connect one end of the Lindy hybrid HDMI cable to the HDMI output of the source device and the other end to the HDMI input of the display or audio system. Ensure both devices support the desired HDMI 2.1 features (for example eARC, VRR or Dolby Vision) and configure device settings if necessary. For sources or displays requiring bidirectional control, enable HDMI-CEC in the device menus where supported.

Recommendations

For runs longer than 20 m, eARC/ARC and CEC functions may not be available; contact the supplier for custom cable lengths up to 200 m and for quotations. Use compatible HDMI 2.1 devices to take full advantage of 48 Gbit/s bandwidth, dynamic HDR and advanced audio formats.
