This 40m Active Optical HDMI male to HDMI male cable is the new solution for using optical HDMI cables in temporary AV set ups for live events & functions. It features a unique stainless steel reinforcement and kevlar weave inside the sheathing which provides excellent protection from damage.
Traditionally optical cables have been designed for fixed systems, they’re installed once and never touched again - but for anyone setting up AV systems for events will know that they simply don’t hold up to repeated installation and often fail quickly - enter the ARMOURED HDMI!
These cables have been designed primarily for the events industry with added protection for plugs as well as the reinforced sheathing so you can set up and pull down your gear without having to worry about cabling damage.
Please Note: This cable is directional. The plug labelled "DISPLAY" must be plugged into the TV Monitor input and the other plug labelled "SOURCE" must be plugged into the media source output.

What is AOC HDMI?
Active Optical Cable HDMI does exactly the same thing as a standard HDMI cable, with one major difference which is very important for installers. AOC cables allow lossless signal transfer over far greater distances than copper HDMI cables and even HDMI UTP baluns!
Normal copper HDMI cables start to lose bandwidth at lengths of 7.5m or more, steadily reducing the quality and even maximum resolution of the cable until eventually at 20m they reach their maximum distance. AOC HDMI cables use an optical fibre (much like S/PDIF audio) which can be run over distances up to 100m at full 4K @ 60Hz video and lossless digital audio.
