HDMI to DisplayPort Active Optical Adapter Kindermann 4956000 — 20 m cable length

The Kindermann HDMI to DisplayPort Active Optical Adapter (20 m) converts an HDMI source signal into a DisplayPort output using an active optical cable designed for long-distance digital video transmission. This adapter accommodates installations where copper HDMI or DisplayPort cables cannot reliably maintain signal integrity over longer runs. The integrated optical cable provides stable connectivity with reduced signal attenuation and is suitable for permanent AV installations, meeting-room setups and digital signage applications.

Advantages

The active optical design minimizes signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared with long copper runs, enabling clean transmission of high-resolution video across a 20 m distance. The adapter supports a plug-and-play workflow without the need for external power supplies in typical setups and keeps connector compatibility between HDMI sources and DisplayPort displays. Its compact inline module simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter in professional AV environments.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms and lecture halls
• Classrooms and training facilities
• Digital signage and retail displays
• AV racks and fixed installations where long runs are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m optical cable
• Conversion direction: HDMI (source) to DisplayPort (display)
• Signal medium: active optical transmission
• Connector types: HDMI male input, DisplayPort male output
• Video support: high-resolution digital video suitable for typical AV use (refer to device compatibility for exact resolutions and refresh rates)
• Typical installation: fixed or semi-permanent AV installations

How to use

Connect the HDMI end of the adapter to the HDMI output of your source device and plug the DisplayPort end into the display or projector. Power requirements are typically met through the connected HDMI source; verify source compatibility if external power is needed. After connections are made, select the appropriate input on the display; most systems will detect the signal automatically. Route the optical cable along the installation path, avoiding sharp bends to preserve the integrity of the fiber.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the optical cable, keep connectors free of dust and ensure the source device supports HDMI output modes compatible with the target DisplayPort display. For installations with wall boxes or conduits, verify bend radius requirements and allow service loops for maintenance access.
