Unlike passive hdmi cables that are bidirectional so that you can attach either end to either device an active hdmi cable is a one way design.
Active optical hdmi cable.
Because of this another name for these cables is hdmi fiber cables.
Vesa the following picture shows a hdmi active optical cable which can extend a v signals up to 150 feet.
Audioquest is proud to introduce the premium solution for long length hdmi applications up to 100 feet 30 5m.
Why use a hdmi active optical cable.

This high speed cable with ethernet helps boost 4k hdmi digital video and multi channel audio signals.
Our specific cables support 3d hd audio and ultra hd.
High speed hdmi thin and flexible hdmi aocs support the hdmi 2 0 specification including 4096 x 2160 4k 60 hz 4 4 4 video signals with a bandwidth of 18 gbps.
Usb universal serial bus.
Hdmi active optical cables aoc display clear 4k resolution over an active optical link to extend to longer distances.
Hdmi high definition multimedia interface.
Active optical cables send data via optical fibers.
This means much higher bandwidth capabilities than standard copper cables as well as longer distances.
In order to make your active cable work with connections more complex than linking an hdmi source device to an hdmi display at ranges or distances further than 25 feet you need to act like a scientist and do experiments on different connections adapters converters extensions kits and so forth to.
Cherry cola is a fiber optic aoc active optical cable that carries 18gbps of 4k ultra hd hdr or other 18gbps data packages over 100 feet with the same high end performance audio and video as.
This example shows that aoc is not limited only to data center applications.
Our 8k uhd hdmi active optical cables can send signal at 48 gbps for up to 40 meters which is well outside the capabilities of a standard copper hdmi cable.
Active cables require more trial and error.
