## Long description

ATEN VE781020 is an HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for long-distance transmission of high-bandwidth video and lossless audio. At 20 m length, this cable converts electrical HDMI signals to optical and back, enabling True 4K resolution support at HDMI 2.0 bandwidths up to 18 Gbit/s. The cable features HDMI Type A male connectors with gold-plated contacts, a black EMI-resistant jacket and compatibility with 3D, deep color formats and HDCP 2.2 content protection. It also supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) and common high-resolution audio formats for clear multichannel sound.
Advantages
The active optical design ensures stable signal integrity over long runs by converting signals to light, which reduces electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation compared with long copper cables. Support for up to 18 Gbit/s and HDMI 2.0 features enables True 4K video at standard frame rates and deep color, while HDCP 2.2 compatibility preserves protected content playback. Gold-plated HDMI Type A connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The cable’s lossless audio handling supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for high-fidelity sound.
Suitable for
 Connecting 4K TVs and projectors to Blu-ray players, media players, set-top boxes or computers over long distances
 Extending AV signals in conference rooms, lecture halls and home theaters
 Digital signage installations in shopping centers, transport hubs and healthcare facilities
 Integration with AV receivers and soundbars where ARC and lossless audio are required

How to use
Connect one HDMI Type A male end to the HDMI output of the source device (for example a Blu-ray player, media player or computer) and the other HDMI Type A male end to the HDMI input of the display device (TV, projector or AV receiver). Ensure both devices are powered and set to the appropriate HDMI input. If using an AV receiver or soundbar, enable ARC on both the display and the audio device if you require return audio. The active optical cable requires no external power; it operates transparently within HDMI 2.0 specifications once connected.
Usage recommendations
For best results, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the 20 m cable run; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines when possible to minimize potential interference. Verify source and display HDMI settings (resolution, color depth, and HDCP) if protected content or expected 4K output does not appear immediately.
