Device Type: 25-Meter Active / Active Optical HDMI Cable
Brand/Model: Generic – 25M Active/AOC HDMI Cable (brand varies; e.g., InLine, Canford, MicroConnect)
Video Output: HDMI Type-A Male to HDMI Type-A Male
Data Ports: N/A (supports HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) on compliant models)
Performance & Construction (Varies by Type):- Active Copper (e.g., InLine, Metra Velox): This type has built-in signal processing circuitry. It typically supports 4K @ 60Hz (HDMI 2.0, 18 Gbps) and can support HDR on higher-end models (Metra Velox claims up to 24 Gbps). It is often unidirectional and may require a USB power connection on one end (Metra) or be bus-powered (InLine) .
- Active Optical Cable (AOC) (e.g., Canford, MicroConnect): This type uses hybrid fiber and copper. It supports 4K @ 60Hz (HDMI 2.0, 18 Gbps) with 4:4:4 chroma and is immune to EMI. It is thinner (approx. 4.5–5.8mm), lighter, and unidirectional. No external power is required .
- Ultra High Speed AOC (e.g., equip): Some newer 25m AOC cables support 8K @ 60Hz / 4K @ 120Hz (HDMI 2.1, 48 Gbps). These are a distinct, higher-tier product .
Key Specs: 25M Active/AOC HDMI Cable, HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz, 18Gbps) or HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz, 48Gbps), Unidirectional Installation, Built-in Signal Processor (Active) or Hybrid Fiber/Copper (AOC), No External Power Required (Most Models), Gold-Plated Connectors
Usage: Long-Distance AV Connections for Conference Rooms, Auditoriums, Digital Signage, Large Home Theaters, and Commercial Installations where passive copper cables would fail
