Introduction

Thank you for choosing the active HDMI 8K fiber optic AOC cable. This cable enables transmission of HDMI signals up to 100m without external Power Delivery. The cable is a hybrid cable, containing both optical fibers and copper conductors.

Our HDMI Active Hybrid Cable is the most competitive HDMI connection solution on the market. It supports a maximum data rate of 12 Gbps per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 45 mm.

With the embedded advanced optical engine, the HDMI hybrid cable offers full HDMI signal integrity.

The patented safety lock is universally compatible with any HDMI socket.

Operating and Connection Diagram

Note: The FX-I380 series is designed for use with a +5V passive Power Delivery provided via pin 18 on the HDMI connection from the source device. This +5V line, as well as the Power Delivery for the integrated fiber optic module, is transmitted to the Receiver via a standard copper connection only. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.

This cable can only be used in one direction. The connectors are marked “SOURCE” and “DISPLAY”. Each connector must be plugged into the correct device to avoid signal loss.

Before using this cable, ensure that all devices connected with the AOC-HDMI cable are switched off and not powered.

1. Connect the “SOURCE” side of the HDMI plug to the Transmitter and the “DISPLAY” side of the other HDMI plug to the Receiver / display. This works without additional power supply.
2. We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as signal transmission performance may be weakened.
3. Switch on the HDMI source device and the display.

Note: If the system does not function properly, please read the chapter FAQ – Troubleshooting in the next section.
