Description
This AV:Link HDMI lead uses active fibre optic technology to carry the signal over long distances without the degradation you get from standard copper cables. At 10 metres, that range matters, so the fibre optic core keeps the picture clean from source to screen with no loss along the way. It supports video resolutions up to 8K Ultra High Definition at 60Hz, with a video bandwidth of up to 48Gb/s.
The build is practical for real installations. The outer cable measures just 4.8mm in diameter, so it stays flexible and easy to route behind walls, under floors or through tight gaps. The alloy headshells are compact at only 19mm wide and 9mm high, which helps when you're plugging into recessed ports or a crowded rear panel. Gold plated connectors give a reliable contact, and the whole lead is HDCP 2.2 compliant for protected 4K and 8K content.
This is an HDMI 2.1 lead, though the label references HDMI 2.0 compatibility as well, so it works across a wide range of kit. It suits home cinema runs, projector setups and any situation where the screen sits a good distance from the player, receiver or games console. If you've struggled with dropouts or a soft image on longer copper cables, the active fibre optic (AOC) design is built to solve exactly that problem while handling the full 7680 x 4320p resolution at 60Hz.
