This Alpha Elettronica cable uses fiber optics with active conversion integrated into the connectors, maintaining stable 18 Gbps over the entire length. The cable cross-section is about half that of a shielded copper HDMI cable of the same length, a detail that matters when you need to route it through an already occupied conduit or a 20mm cable sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Analysis and Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🌐 \u003cstrong\u003e18 Gbps Bandwidth over the entire length:\u003c\/strong\u003e corresponds to full HDMI 2.0b and covers 4K@60fps 4:4:4 8-bit or 4K@60fps 4:2:0 10-bit for HDR10.

First: the cable is inverted. On active fiber optic cables, direction matters; the connector marked \"Source\" goes to the player\/AVR\/matrix, the other to the TV or projector — if installing in a conduit, always test it on a bench with the source and display on before closing. Second (and more serious): installation. The fiber optic inside the cable is unforgiving; a sharp bend will immediately and irreversibly break it. No 90° bends against sharp edges, no forced passages through overly tight conduits, no millimeter-tight cable ties. Respect the manufacturer's specified bend radius and, when pulling, never tug on the connector. Once bent, it cannot be salvaged: the cable must be discarded. Finally, ensure that the upstream matrix or splitter powers the transceiver via the +5V HDMI pin: most do, but on some entry-level models, the pin is undersized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/6222\/5485\/files\/Chi_siamo_oniroview.jpg?v=1751647335\" style=\"width: 100px; height: 100px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 50%; border: 2px solid #b91c1c; flex-shrink: 0;\" alt=\"Oniroview Expert\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔗 Complete your project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K HDMI Matrix with HDCP 2.2\u003c\/strong\u003e — for multi-source \/ multi-display distribution in centralized systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20mm cable sleeves and conduits\u003c\/strong\u003e — the slim cable diameter allows the use of existing routes without redoing them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a fiber optic HDMI cable and a copper one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA copper cable is passive and loses bandwidth with length: beyond 5-7 meters at 4K@60fps HDR, the signal degrades, and sparkles or failed HDCP handshakes appear. A fiber optic cable is active: it converts the electrical signal to optical in the source connector, transmits it over fiber (negligible attenuation), and converts it back in the sink. Result: stable 18 Gbps even over long runs, where copper would have already failed the HDMI Compliance test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this HDMI cable compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes for 4K@60fps HDR video content (Cinema\/Film mode and most gaming). No for 4K@120fps and VRR, which require HDMI 2.1 with 48 Gbps bandwidth: this cable is 18 Gbps (HDMI 2.0b). For next-gen consoles that want to utilize 120Hz at full resolution, a certified Ultra High Speed cable is needed. For 4K HDR home theater at 60Hz and for Apple TV \/ Sky Q, it is fully compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install an active fiber optic HDMI cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cable is directional: the connector on the Source side goes to the source device (player, AVR, matrix, console), and the Display side to the TV or projector. The connectors are marked. The transceiver is powered by the +5V pin of the source HDMI, so no external power is needed. Pay extreme attention to installation: the internal fiber does not tolerate sharp bends; a forced bend will render the cable unusable. Before closing conduits or false ceilings, always perform a bench test with the devices on to confirm HDCP handshake and correct resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 Package Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📦 1x Alpha Elettronica 10m active fiber optic HDMI cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📦 Pre-terminated slim metallic gold-plated connectors (side A and side B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Warranty: 2 years as per European consumer goods regulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📜 Certifications: CE, RoHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ Exclusively for indoor use (PVC sheath, IP not declared for outdoors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ Directional cable: respect Source → Display orientation during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ Fiber optic cable: respect the minimum bend radius; sharp bends irreversibly damage the fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📜 ETIM Class EC002937 (HDMI cables for professional AV applications)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alpha Elettronica","offers":[{"title":"10MT","offer_id":53619390841171,"sku":"93-591F3\/010","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20MT","offer_id":53619390873939,"sku":"93-591F3\/020","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25MT","offer_id":53658153550163,"sku":"93-591F3\/025","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30MT","offer_id":53619390906707,"sku":"93-591F3\/030","price":88.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"40MT","offer_id":53619390939475,"sku":"93-591F3\/040","price":108.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50MT","offer_id":53619390972243,"sku":"93-591F3\/050","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"100m","offer_id":53658164789587,"sku":"93-591F3\/100","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/6222\/5485\/files\/cavo-hdmi-fibra-ottica-aoc-attivo-4k-high-speed-ethernet-connettori-slim-01.jpg?v=1777569032","url":"https:\/\/oniroview.com\/en\/products\/cavo-hdmi-fibra-ottica-aoc-attivo-4k-high-speed-ethernet-connettori-slim","provider":"Oniroview","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
