The FX-I355 HDMI Premium High Speed with Ethernet cables, included in the FiberX series from PureLink are designed for an optimal transmission of HDMI 2.0 signals over long distances. The hybrid construction of fiber and copper conductors allows significantly longer cable lengths than conventional HDMI copper cables. The AV stream is transmitted via optical fibers, completely free of electromagnetic interference and is supplemented by copper wires for the transmission of power (HDMI 5V) and data (e.g. HPD, CEC). Due to this structure, the cables are available for very long lengths between 5.00 and 100.00 meters and can be used in complex environments.

The cables are compliant with the HDMI standard "HDMI Premium High Speed with Ethernet" for HDMI 2.0 compatible devices and are capable of transmitting AV streams up to 18Gbps. They are capable of resolutions up to 4K / UltraHD with up to 60Hz including the digital audio signal and with support for HDCP up to version 2.2. The transmission is without delay (zero frame delay) and compression, supports ARC and eARC (if supported by the device) as well as transparent EDID.

The cable also features the patented Ultra-Lock-System™. This ULS™ technology has been developed specifically for the uninterrupted and secure use of HDMI connections. The innovative design locks the connector securely into the socket and is unique on the market. The safety lock can be used universally with any HDMI socket and can be easily switched between the locked and unlocked positions by using a 360° locking switch.

The small cable diameter of only 4.5mm allows an extremely tight bend radius up to 45mm (static) or 90mm (dynamic), especially for installation in tight environments, such as the back of a rack.

The HDMI-A ULS™ connectors on both sides feature gold-plated precision contacts and a connector body made of plastic. Thus, the plugs themselves are resistant to corrosion, guaranteeing long-term functional data transmission.

The HDMI AOC cables use the "Plug&Play" principle and can thus be used like a conventional HDMI cable. They are unidirectional, i.e. directionally bound and should not be connected the wrong way round the ends are distinctly marked. Adaptation to other types of signals cannot be guaranteed. The cables are also free of halogens. They therefore produce significantly less smoke in the event of fire than cables, that have been manufactured with halogens.

The AV industry continues to push for greater bandwidth, faster speeds and a lossless signal quality over ever increasing distances. Traditional copper cabling is becoming less reliable or inadequate for these long ranges. By combining different optical transmission standards with cutting-edge technology, FiberX ensures that existing AV infrastructures continue to meet the highest standards.

In addition, the high fiber quality of FiberX products features tighter bending radiuses, enabling faster and easier installations than comparable products.
