ACT 10 meters HDMI Premium High Speed 4K Active Optical Cable v2.0 LSZH HDMI-A male - HDMI-A male

The ACT 10 meters HDMI Premium High Speed 4K Active Optical Cable v2.0 LSZH is an HDMI-A male to HDMI-A male cable designed for long-distance 4K video and multi-channel audio transmission. Combining copper conductors and optical fiber, it carries 4K (3840x2160) at 60Hz with 18 Gbps bandwidth and supports HDR, CEC, HDCP 2.2, EDID, HEC, ARC and advanced audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The cable features full shielding, a Kevlar-protected fiber core and an LSZH jacket to reduce smoke and halogen release in case of fire. Connectors are marked for easy identification of source and display ends.

Advantages

The active optical construction enables reliable signal transmission over distances up to 100 meters without data loss while requiring no external power. Full shielding and a copper-encased chipset keep RFI/EMI to a minimum, making the cable suitable for sensitive environments. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in fire situations, and Kevlar reinforcement improves mechanical durability.

Suitable for

• Professional AV installations and large-screen displays
• Medical imaging and diagnostic displays where low interference is required
• Data centers and control rooms requiring LSZH-rated cabling
• Marine and industrial environments needing durable, long-reach connections
• Conference rooms and lecture halls for 4K video distribution

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not necessary for short, standard home setups where typical passive HDMI cables are sufficient. For applications that require bandwidth above 18 Gbps (for example some 4K@120Hz or higher-color-depth scenarios), this HDMI 2.0 cable may not meet future-proofing needs.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m (available up to 100 m in the product family)
• HDMI version: 2.0
• Maximum data rate: 18 Gbit/s
• Supported resolution: up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz
• Color depth / chroma: 4:4:4 support
• Audio: Multi-channel audio, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Audio Return Channel (ARC)
• Shielding: full shielding with aluminium foil and copper-encased chipset
• Core protection: Kevlar-reinforced fiber
• Jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Connector type: HDMI Type A (Standard) male to HDMI Type A (Standard) male
• Color: Black

How to use

Identify the source and display ends using the marked connectors, then insert the HDMI Type A male connectors firmly into the source device (for example a media player, PC or set-top box) and the display (TV, monitor or projector). The cable supports plug-and-play operation with no external power required. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or tight kinks; follow standard cable routing practices to minimise mechanical stress and maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a passive HDMI cable would suffice for shorter runs
• Compatibility with devices that require HDMI 2.0 features such as 18 Gbit/s bandwidth and HDCP 2.2
• Environmental requirements: need for LSZH jacket or enhanced shielding in sensitive installations
• Desired audio and HDR support for your AV setup

Usage recommendations

Use this active optical HDMI cable for long-distance 4K@60Hz connections in professional, medical, marine or data centre environments. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain; verify device HDMI settings (HDR, audio formats, HDCP) to ensure full compatibility.
