## Long description

The StarTech HDMI 2.1 Hybrid Active Optical Cable, 15.2 m, is a plenum‑rated AOC designed for long‑distance HDMI 2.1 signal delivery. Combining fiber optic cores with copper conductors in a hybrid construction, this cable carries up to 48 Gbps bandwidth to support 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz video formats while maintaining low electromagnetic interference and reliable transmission of control and audio channels. Gold‑plated HDMI Type A male connectors and a slim 4.6 mm jacket allow routing through space‑constrained or plenum spaces in commercial and residential installations. The cable is unidirectional — observe the SOURCE and DISPLAY markings on the connectors when installing.
Advantages
The hybrid active optical design separates high‑bandwidth video over fiber from low‑bandwidth control and audio over copper, enabling sustained 48 Gbps performance for high refresh rates and HDR10+ content. Plenum‑rated CMP jacketing provides low‑smoke, fire‑resistant installation in ceiling and in‑wall plenums. Reinforced fiber cores with aramid strength members and a flexible 4.6 mm outer diameter make the cable durable under frequent bends while remaining thin enough for tight cable paths. Full HDMI 2.1 feature support includes eARC, DSC, FRL, HDCP 2.3 and forward error correction to ensure compatibility with modern AV equipment.
Suitable for
Long‑distance AV links between source and display in commercial or residential buildings
Routing through plenum spaces such as ceilings and air handling areas
High‑refresh gaming setups requiring 4K 120Hz or 8K 60Hz signals
Home theater or professional installations requiring HDR10+ and eARC support

How to use
Identify the cable ends marked SOURCE and DISPLAY and connect the SOURCE end to the HDMI output of the transmitting device and the DISPLAY end to the HDMI input of the receiving device. Route the cable through the desired plenum or conduit, avoiding sharp kinks and maintaining bend radii consistent with the cable's mechanical rating. Power on source and display devices and verify signal negotiation; allow devices to re‑handshake if switching resolutions or enabling DSC or HDR features. For optimal performance, ensure connected devices support HDMI 2.1 features such as FRL, DSC and HDCP 2.3 where required.
Usage recommendations
Install in the correct direction using the SOURCE/DISPLAY labels, avoid excessive twisting or tight bends, and follow local electrical and building codes when routing through plenum spaces. Test full‑bandwidth operation after installation by using known HDMI 2.1 sources and displays and enable DSC or HDR settings on compatible equipment if required.
