Why choose it

Unlike passive HDMI cables that suffer signal degradation beyond 5 meters, this AOC uses fiber optics for the high-speed data lanes, ensuring pristine 4K HDR video and audio even at 8 meters.

Good to know

The cable is directional: connect the marked Source end to the HDMI output and the Display end to the input. It draws power from the HDMI port, so no external power supply is needed. Compatible with all HDMI 2.0 devices and backward compatible with earlier HDMI versions.
