Description
This 30m HDMI lead from AV:Link uses active fibre optic technology to carry the HDMI signal, which lets it cover far greater distances than a standard copper cable without the signal breaking down. Over long runs, ordinary cables tend to lose data and drop the picture, so a fibre optic lead like this one keeps things stable where you need real length.
The cable supports video resolutions up to 8K Ultra High Definition at 60Hz, with video bandwidth up to 48Gb/s and HDCP 2.2 compliance. The outer diameter is a thin 4.8mm, which keeps the lead flexible and easy to route across a room or through trunking. Each end fits into a slim alloy headshell measuring only 19mm wide and 9mm high, with gold plated connectors to help with a clean, reliable contact.
Fibre optic HDMI leads are directional, so the source end connects to your player, console or set-top box and the display end connects to your TV or projector (screen). Because the fibre carries the signal rather than copper, the picture stays consistent over the full 30m without the fade or dropout you can get from long copper runs. It suits home cinema installs, projector setups and any job where the equipment and screen sit well apart. The maximum resolution is 7680 x 4320p at 60Hz, in line with the HDMI 2.1 standard.

Frequently Asked
Is this HDMI lead directional?
Yes. Active fibre optic leads have a source end and a display end. Connect the source end to your player or console and the display end to your TV or projector.
What resolution does it support?
It supports video up to 8K Ultra High Definition (7680 x 4320p) at 60Hz, with bandwidth up to 48Gb/s.
Why use fibre optic instead of a standard HDMI cable?
Fibre optic carries the signal over much longer distances without degradation, so a 30m run stays stable where a standard copper cable would lose data and drop the picture.
How thick is the cable?
The outer diameter is 4.8mm, which keeps the lead flexible and easy to route over long distances.
Is it HDCP compliant?
Yes, the lead is HDCP 2.2 compliant.
How wide are the connectors?
The alloy headshells are only 19mm wide and 9mm high, so they fit into tight spaces behind equipment.
