This active optical HDMI cable is engineered to deliver best-in-class digital video and audio connectivity. It connects any high-resolution HDMI source to a high-resolution HDMI-enabled display up to 100' away with no external power source. The cable fully supports the HDMI 2.1 specification, which provides for up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. The cable provides both HD video and multichannel audio between any digital HDTV display and HD or non-HD digital source devices such as Blu-ray Disc players, DVRs, digital set-top boxes (cable/satellite), A/V receivers, game consoles, and more.

The cable is designed for high bandwidth, supporting up to 48 Gb/s for video resolutions of up to 10K @ 60 Hz as well as 5K @ 60 Hz and 4K @ 120 Hz with 24-bit RGB color. The premium, gold-plated cable supports uncompressed video such as DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Vision, and other high-definition audio standards. It supports static and dynamic HDR with enhanced HDR video and dual video streams to a single display. The cable features eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), CEC, EDID, and HEC (HDMI Ethernet Channel) support. This enables advanced audio signal control capabilities and object-based audio for an immersive multidimensional experience with enhanced audio detail and depth.

Gamers and VR users will appreciate the variable refresh rate supported by the cable as both response time and refresh rate are critical for players. The cable supports refresh rates up to 120 Hz at 4K quality or 60 Hz at up to 10K (4:4:4 sub-sampling), offering smooth video and a lower video response time. The lower the response time, the quicker the individual pixels can update, and the higher the refresh rate results in smoother video.
