Overview

The SHIVERPEAKS BS30-04095 is an active optical HDMI cable engineered for long-distance, high-integrity digital AV transmission. Unlike passive copper cables that suffer signal degradation beyond a few meters, this cable converts electrical HDMI signals into light pulses, preserving full 4K resolution, deep color, and multi-channel audio over 20 meters without repeaters or boosters. Its directional design (source to display) ensures optimal performance, while the bus-powered architecture draws minimal power from the HDMI port itself.

What stands out

• Armored, tread-proof outer jacket withstands heavy foot traffic, carts, and temporary event rigors.
• Active optical fiber core maintains 18 Gbps bandwidth and 4K60Hz with HDR over the entire 20 m length.
• HDMI 2.0 compliance with HDCP 2.2, ARC, and CEC support for modern AV ecosystems.
