Product Description
HDMI 4K Active Optical Cable — 40m, HDMI-A Male to Male
This is a 40m fibre-hybrid HDMI cable for running 4K video from an NVR (network video recorder) to a distant monitor or control-room display — well beyond what a standard copper HDMI lead can manage.
It's rated HDMI 2.0 High Speed, carrying 4K@60Hz (3840x2160) at 4:4:4 chroma over 18Gbps bandwidth, with HDR and ARC (audio return channel) support. Inside, it combines OM3 multimode fibre with copper pairs in a slim 4.8–5mm jacket, reinforced with Kevlar so it survives being pulled through long conduit runs.
Key specs
- HDMI 2.0, 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, 18Gbps bandwidth
- HDCP 2.2 and EDID/CEC compliant
- Gold-plated connectors, double foil shielding
- External power-free — no booster needed for rack-to-building spans
- 48mm bend radius; backward compatible with HDMI 1.4
- Plenum CMP-rated PVC jacket, -20°C to 70°C
- 20kg tensile strength for permanent installs
Before you buy
This cable is unidirectional — the source (your NVR) and display ends are fixed, so check orientation on the connectors before running it through conduit. It supports Dolby TrueHD/DTS:X audio and EDID/CEC signalling, but it's still a video/audio lead, not a substitute for checking your NVR's own HDMI output resolution matches what your display expects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far can this HDMI cable run without a booster?
It's a 40m active optical cable and runs without an external power source or inline booster for rack-to-building spans.
Does it support 4K at full frame rate?
Yes — it's rated for 4K@60Hz at 3840x2160 with 4:4:4 chroma over 18Gbps bandwidth.
Can I connect it either way round?
No — the cable is unidirectional, so confirm which end is the source and which is the display before installing it.
Will it work with older HDMI equipment?
It's backward compatible with HDMI 1.4, which suits integration with legacy surveillance kit.
