StarTech Active Optical HDMI Cable (AOC)

StarTech Active Optical HDMI Cables (AOC) are engineered for long-distance, high-bandwidth HDMI connections in professional and commercial AV environments. The family includes fiber optic and hybrid fiber/copper constructions that reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimize signal degradation for stable video and audio transmission. HDMI 2.1 AOC models deliver up to 48Gbps bandwidth and support features such as 8K60, 4K120, HDR, DSC, HDCP 2.3 and related HDMI 2.1 capabilities, while HDMI 2.0 AOC models support 4K60 and HDR formats. Durable design elements found across the lineup include aramid-reinforced cores for tensile strength, slim flexible jackets (CMP plenum-rated or PVC), shielded gold-plated connectors, and labeled SOURCE/DISPLAY ends; select models integrate a USB-C to HDMI adapter with a USB-A power cable. These cables are suited for UHD video walls, conference rooms, ceiling and in-wall plenum installations, and other space-constrained routing scenarios where long runs and high signal integrity are required.
