ACT HDMI Active Optical Cable 90 m, Premium High Speed 4K v2.0, HDMI-A male to HDMI-A male, 18 Gbit/s, LSZH, Black

The ACT HDMI Active Optical Cable 90 m is a premium HDMI 2.0 cable designed for long-distance digital video and audio transmission. Constructed with copper and fibre, the cable carries 4K video (3840x2160) at 60Hz over distances up to 90 metres with an 18 Gbit/s bandwidth and supports HDR, CEC, HDCP 2.2, EDID, HEC, ARC and multi-channel audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The LSZH jacket and full shielding make it suitable for sensitive professional environments where low RFI/EMI and reduced smoke/toxic emissions are important.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable combines optical fibre and copper to maintain signal integrity over long runs without requiring external power. Full shielding, including aluminium foil and copper-encased connector chipset plus Kevlar-protected fibre, reduces RFI/EMI and improves reliability in interference-sensitive installations. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire, and the cable is clearly marked to identify source and display ends for correct connection.

Suitable for

• Professional AV installations and digital signage over long distances
• Conference rooms and lecture theatres with central source equipment
• Medical imaging and other environments requiring low RFI/EMI
• Data centres and installations where LSZH safety is required
• Marine and nautical systems that need durable, long-reach HDMI connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for long-distance, fixed AV runs; it may be unnecessary or impractical for short, flexible consumer setups where simple passive HDMI cables are sufficient. It is not a wireless solution and requires compatible HDMI-A ports on both source and display devices.

How to use

Connect the HDMI Type A male connector marked as the source to your video source (PC, media player, switcher) and the connector marked as the display to the target display or projector. Ensure both devices support HDMI 2.0 features for full 4K@60Hz and HDR functionality. Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends; the Kevlar protection increases durability but maintaining gentle curves helps preserve optical performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm both source and display have HDMI Type A ports and support HDMI 2.0 features you require (4K@60Hz, HDR, HDCP 2.2).
• Measure the required run to ensure 90 m length is sufficient and plan cable routing to avoid tight bends or physical stress.
• Decide if LSZH jacket is required for your installation environment (e.g., confined spaces, public buildings, data centres).

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this ACT 90 m Active Optical Cable in fixed AV installations where long runs and low interference are required; avoid repeated flexing and keep connectors dry and clean. Check device settings for HDMI 2.0 and HDR to ensure optimal video and audio performance.
