Equip HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable 15m 8K 60Hz Male to Male

The Equip HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable 15m (MPN 119451) is a fiber‑based HDMI cable that uses electrical-to-optical conversion to transmit high-bandwidth audio and video over longer distances with reduced signal loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference. With HDMI 2.1 support and a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbps, the cable can carry up to 8K Ultra HD (7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz) and advanced features such as HDR, eARC and VRR. The cable is lightweight, thin and flexible compared with traditional copper HDMI cables and comes with gold‑plated HDMI Type A male connectors and a black zinc‑alloy housing.

Advantages

Active optical construction provides stable long-distance HDMI connectivity with minimal signal degradation and reduced susceptibility to EMI. The HDMI 2.1 specification and 48 Gbps bandwidth enable high-resolution video (up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz), advanced audio formats and gaming/display features. Gold-plated connectors and a metal connector housing help maintain signal integrity and durability. The cable’s thin, lightweight profile simplifies installation and cable management in home theatres, conference rooms or digital signage setups.

Suitable for

• Long-distance HDMI connections between source devices and displays (up to 15 m)
• Home theater systems requiring 8K or high-refresh 4K signals

How to use

Check the cable direction marking before installation because this AOC is single‑way and transmits only from source to display. Connect the HDMI Type A male end labelled "Source" to the output of your source device (such as a Blu‑ray player, PC, set‑top box or gaming console) and the other HDMI Type A male end labelled "Display" to the input of your TV, monitor or projector. Ensure both devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate and enable relevant HDMI 2.1 features in device settings if required. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; maintain the cable’s bend radius and secure it with gentle clips or ties when needed.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, verify that both connected devices support HDMI 2.1 features you intend to use (for example 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, eARC or VRR). Do not attempt to use the cable bidirectionally — always orient the cable from source to display according to the direction marking.
