Fiber Optic HDMI Cable 15ft, Fiber HDMI Cable Supports 4K@60Hz, 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDCP2.2, ARC, 3D, High Speed 18Gbps, Slim and Flexible HDMI Fiber Optic Cable

I’ve tried some expensive thick heavy gauge copper wire HDMI cables and learned the hard way that beyond spans of around 15-20 ft cable length, data transmission can and will suffer and can be hit-or-miss depending on source and destination. This is not the case with these optical fiber HDMI cables. At its 30ft length, I had no issues getting a clear 4K 60Hz signal with multichannel audio to my LG OLED TV regardless of the source. I’ve tried the following: PS4 Pro, XBox Series X, Apple TV 4K, Macbook Pro 16 (with an HDMI to USB-C adapter) and a Razer Blade Advanced 2020. No dropouts, no issues, it all just works flawlessly. Picture quality is just as good as those of a short span heavy-gauge overpriced gold-plated terminated copper wire HDMI cables. Optical HDMI cables are great because the wires are thinner, lighter, flexible, has less strain on the sockets, and easier to manage around and behind furniture, corners, or where ever you want to route them through. The only downside has been that optical fiber HDMI cables have always been cost-prohibitive. That is until I found these at a very attractive price. I have to admit, I was skeptical because of the low price compared to other optical HDMI cables I found on Amazon, but look no further, these are the ones to get if you want to save money and still have great quality. Keep in mind though that just like all other optical HDMI cables, these are are directional and will only work if you connect the source and display terminations to their respective sockets. But don’t worry, ARC features still works just fine despite the “directional” nature of the cable. They were packaged very nicely too, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended!

My projector is connected to the receiver through a 35 feet long hdmi cable. It works fine without any problem for 1080p video. Recently I upgraded to a 4k projector but I cannot watch movie any more! I know it is definitely the HDMI cable problem. The projector customer support recommended a fiber hdmi cable in the price of $175 which is too expensive. Then I tried to use a HDMI extender with my old cable. I can watch movies with the help of a HDMI extender, however, I cannot see the bluray player home screen. I have to buy a high quality HDMI cable!I was a little wondering about this cable before I bought it because the product description does not clearly state this cable is HDCP 2.2 compliant. The seller quickly replied to me and confirmed the HDCP 2.2 compliance then I ordered the 50 feet cable. I received it today and immediately connected it. WOW! Everything works!! With the HDMI extender I can only see 4k@24hz but now it shows 4k video @60hz (although I cannot really tell the difference by my naked eyes)! Now I can watch 4k video without the HDMI extender! And the bluray player home screen shows up normally! I do not need the HDMI extender any more.The cable is very flexible and actually I feel it is a little bit firmer than another fiber HDMI cable I borrowed from my friend. It is thinner than the old HDMI cable, because it is a fiber cable.I still have a problem though but I do not think it is caused by the cable. When I plug the fiber HDMI cable through the HDMI port on the wall plate, the 4k video shows normally when a disc is played, but I still cannot see the player's home screen, even if with the help from the HDMI extender. I searched online and I found many people have the same problem. I believe it is caused by the HDMI keystone because it is HDMI ver 1.4. I have to bypass the HDMI port on the wall plate and extend the cable from the wall and connect it to my receiver directly.If you play 4k movies on a device connected by a HDMI cable longer than 25 feet, I do recommend you purchase this fiber HDMI cable. It works (again, my cable is 50 feet long), and its price is only half, or 1/4 of the similar products sold on Amazon.

This cable works great, just follow directions, just don't snag or pull on the cable too hard when routing it.Be aware that this is an *active* cable, meaning that there is a circuit built into each end to convert the HDMI to optical at the Source end and then back to HDMI at the Display end. It draws the power through the HDMI connection. Unfortunately, it needs more power than many computer video cards can supply; when I first plugged it in, between my computer and a TV on the other side of the room, all I got was a black screen. I then plugged it into a Roku box instead to test and it worked perfect. Since I knew what the problem was, I searched for "HDMI power inserter" and came up empty (I wanted one that includes a wall wart transformer, not a USB plug that either requires another AC-to-USB adapter or draws power from the computer.) so I searched ebay and found a guy in NC selling them for $11.75. I installed the power inserter between the computer HDMI out and the Source end of this optical cable, and then the other end (Display) into the TV, and now it's getting plenty of power and works great!tl;dr If you get a black screen when using this cable with a computer, then you need an "HDMI power inserter".P.S. Be sure to remember that this active cable is unidirectional, unlike copper HDMI cables (which are passive and bidirectional) - meaning you must plug the Source end into the source and the Display end into the display.
