HDMI cable TECHLY ICOC-HDMI-HY8-030 — 30 m, HDMI Type A to A, HDMI 2.1, 48 Gbit/s, ARC, gold-plated contacts, black

Techly ICOC-HDMI-HY8-030 is a 30 m active hybrid HDMI Type A to Type A cable designed to transmit high-resolution video and multichannel audio between source devices and displays over long distances. Combining copper and fiber conductors, this HDMI 2.1 cable supports up to 48 Gbit/s bandwidth and enables video resolutions up to 8K @ 60Hz, as well as 4K HDR and legacy HD formats. Gold-plated contacts and a flexible black PVC jacket provide reliable electrical contact and easier installation in confined or cable-managed environments. The cable uses a unidirectional Active Optical Cable (AOC) design, so connectors are labeled for source and display and must be connected accordingly.

Advantages

The hybrid copper-and-fiber construction reduces weight and increases flexibility compared with full copper assemblies while preserving signal integrity over 30 m. Support for HDMI 2.1 features and a 48 Gbit/s data rate makes the cable suitable for demanding video workflows, including 8K @ 60Hz and 4K HDR. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The active optical segments minimize electromagnetic interference and signal loss, delivering clear audio and video without external power supplies under normal use.

Suitable for

• Connecting Blu-ray players, media players or set-top boxes to TVs or projectors at long distances
• AV installations in conference rooms and lecture halls requiring high-resolution video
• Digital signage and illuminated displays where extended cable runs are needed
• Home cinema setups that require 4K HDR or 8K @ 60Hz transmission over long cable runs

How to use

Identify the connector ends marked "source" and "display" and connect the source-labeled end to the output device (for example Blu-ray player, media player, PC or set-top box) and the display-labeled end to the TV, monitor or projector. Power on connected devices and set the display to the correct input. For highest resolutions and HDR content, ensure the video source and display both support HDMI 2.1 features and configure resolution and frame rate in the source device settings. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation to protect the internal optical fibers and copper conductors.

Usage recommendations

Install the cable in the correct direction following the source/display labels. Maintain bend radii recommended for fiber-containing cables, avoid tight loops or kinks, and secure the cable gently along routing paths. For best performance at 8K @ 60Hz or HDR, use HDMI 2.1-compatible devices and check device firmware for compatibility with HDCP and EDID handling.
