Long-Distance 4K Extension Without Signal Loss
Standard copper HDMI cables struggle beyond 10 metres. This active optical cable uses an inner fibre core to carry the video signal. Because it is immune to electromagnetic interference, the image stays clear over the full 15.2 metres. You get stable 4K 60Hz without the dropouts common in passive copper leads.
Integrated Active Conversion for Simplicity
The cable integrates the converter and the run into one unit. This removes extra adapters that can fail or loosen. A short USB Type-A power lead at the HDMI end draws power from a port or wall charger. You must supply this power; it is not included in the box.
HDR and Deep Colour for Accurate Imaging
It supports High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR10) at 10-bit depth. Colour sampling runs at 4:4:4 for precise text and graphics. In practice, this benefits video editors, CAD users, and medical imaging setups where colour fidelity matters.
Wide Device Compatibility
It works with any host that supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode. This includes Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4. Operating systems covered include Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. No drivers or software are required for installation.
CL3 Rated and Lightweight for Installations
The CL3 rating suits in-wall runs for UK building compliance checks. The 4.5 mm cable diameter and light PVC jacket simplify routing through conduits or trunking. Always verify local fire-safety rules and building regulations before installation.
