Nippon Labs 8K Hybrid Active Optical HDMI 2.1 Cable, CL3, 48Gbps, 25–150 ft

A CL3-rated active optical HDMI 2.1 cable for long in-wall runs that need the full 48Gbps: 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 120Hz for gaming, dynamic HDR and eARC. Fiber carries the signal, so it stays stable out to 150 ft where passive HDMI 2.1 copper fails beyond about 10 to 15 ft.

FAQ

CL3 or plenum? CL3 covers in-wall runs in most homes and offices. For air-return spaces above drop ceilings, use our CMP plenum version.

Only need 4K 60Hz? Our 4K HDMI 2.0 active optical cable costs less and handles 4K 60Hz HDR.
