HDMI cable SCP 997AOC-LSZH-50M — HDMI Type A male to male, 50 m, HDMI 2.0, 24 Gbit/s, ARC, black

The SCP 997AOC-LSZH-50M is a 50 m hybrid HDMI Active Optical Cable (AOC) with HDMI Type A male connectors on both ends. It combines multimode glass fibers for high-frequency TMDS video channels with copper conductors for low-frequency signals, providing a single long-reach cable solution that complies with HDMI specifications and is intended for long-distance AV links.

Advantages

The cable supports high-quality digital video and audio transmission over long distances without the signal degradation typical of pure copper cables. Its hybrid electro-optical construction enables 4K video at up to 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling under HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, while copper conductors maintain low-frequency features such as the Audio Return Channel. The cable is available in black and is designed for reliable, single-cable runs between source and display or AV equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a set-top box, Blu-ray player or media player at distances up to 50 m
• Linking projectors to AV receivers or players in large rooms and auditoriums
• Running a single long HDMI connection from an AV receiver to a display where wall or ceiling routing is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable follows the HDMI 2.0 specification and supports 4K at up to 60 Hz (4:4:4 where bandwidth allows) and 24 Gbit/s signaling; it does not provide the higher bandwidth or feature set of HDMI 2.1 (for example, 4K120Hz or 8K support). If your setup requires HDMI 2.1 features such as variable refresh rate (VRR) at 4K120Hz or higher uncompressed bandwidths, choose a certified HDMI 2.1 solution instead.

Key specifications

• Length: 50 m
• Connector type: HDMI Type A male → HDMI Type A male
• HDMI version: 2.0
• Maximum data rate: up to 24 Gbit/s
• Maximum video support: up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 60 Hz (YCbCr 4:4:4 or 4:2:0 depending on bandwidth)
• Audio: supports ARC and advanced audio formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD
• HDR formats supported: HDR10, HDR10+, HLG; also compatible with Dolby Vision metadata transport
• Cable type: active optical hybrid (multimode glass fibers + copper conductors)
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one HDMI Type A male end to the HDMI output of the source device (such as a Blu-ray player, media player or AV receiver) and the other end to the HDMI input of the display or sink device (TV, projector). Ensure both devices are set to their native HDMI input/output modes and configure the display resolution and HDR settings via the device menus if necessary. Route the cable carefully through walls, ceilings or cable channels as required; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable to preserve the optical fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your source and display support HDMI 2.0 features and the desired 4K/60Hz resolution
• Confirm that you do not require HDMI 2.1 features such as 4K120Hz or 8K support
• Plan cable routing to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable

Usage recommendations

For best results, set your source device to output 4K@60Hz and enable HDR in both source and display settings when using HDR content. Use careful cable routing and strain relief at connector ends to maintain long-term signal integrity over the 50 m run.
