HDMI Active Optical Cables

Model No: DVI-25XXX-AOC

HDMI fiber optic cables support high resolutions including 4K/60 Hz (4:4:4). Cables are CMP-OF plenum rated and available in lengths up to 100 m (328 ft). No external power supply is needed. A variety of detachable docking connectors facilitate connection of other signal type like DisplayPort and DVI.

Key Features

  • Can be powered by HDMI source, or by an external USB power supply using optional powered docking connector
  • Low RFI / EMI profile for sensitive applications
  • Supports live DDC communications for EDID and HDCP
  • Extends HDMI signals with resolutions up to 4K/60p (4:4:4) 8-bit or (4:2:2) 10-bit up to 328 ft. (100 meters)
  • Supports HDMI 4K/60p signals with data rates up to 18 Gbps total and with HDCP 2.2 / 1.4
  • Full range of detachable docking connectors, which can be secured with included locking pins
  • Lightweight, compact, flexible, plenum-rated Active Optical Cables (AOC)
  • TAA, FCC, UL, CE, RoHS Compliant

Shattering Limitations — DVIGear’s HyperLight® Series is a new generation of advanced Active Optical Cables (AOC) that employs cutting edge technology to deliver unprecedented resolution, performance and value. HyperLight HDMI cables provide robust features in a rugged yet compact and lightweight form factor. They are fully HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 compliant and support signals with data rates of up to 18 Gbps. These features enable HyperLight HDMI cables to support resolutions of up to 4K /60p (4:4:4) 8-bit or (4:2:2) 10-bit with cable lengths of up to 100 meters.

Easy to Install, Even in Plenum Spaces — HyperLight cables are plenum rated (UL CMP-OF), compact, lightweight and highly flexible. Constructed using a hybrid design of 4x POF (Polyfluorinated Optical Fiber) and 6x copper wires, they are rugged yet flexible, with a minimum bend radius of only two millimeters. To minimize cable diameter, two removable HDMI docking connectors may be detached, revealing a connector cross section that measures a mere 12.4 x 10.0 millimeters. The docking connectors include a locking pin for added security. These features make the cables easy to install even in narrow conduits, as well as in plenum spaces.

Professional Environments — HyperLight cables are designed for use in mission-critical applications where image quality and dependability are paramount. The video signals are transmitted over four optical fibers, which make them immune to interference from environmental noise. The optical transmission path provides a very low RFI / EMI profile, which allows the cables to be installed in sensitive applications with strict security requirements. In most cases, the cables draw power from the connected HDMI source, eliminating the need for an external power supply. HyperLight AOC cables are ideally suited for applications that require ultra-high resolution HDMI signals to be extended over long cable runs with flawless image quality.
