Device Type: 30-Meter Active / Active Optical HDMI Cable
Brand/Model: Generic – 30M Active/AOC HDMI Cable (brand varies; e.g., StarTech HDMM30MA, ATEN VE781030, Vention AAMBT)
Video Output: HDMI Type-A Male to HDMI Type-A Male
Data Ports: N/A (passive cable features like Ethernet Channel vary by model)
Performance & Construction (Varies by Type):- Active Copper (e.g., StarTech HDMM30MA): This type has built-in amplifier circuitry. It typically supports 4K @ 30Hz (HDMI 1.4, 8.16 Gbps) and 1080p @ 120Hz. It is often CL2/CL3 rated for in-wall use but is unidirectional (must be installed Source → Display) .
- Active Optical Cable (AOC) (e.g., ATEN VE781030, ACT AK3933): This type uses hybrid fiber and copper. It supports 4K @ 60Hz (HDMI 2.0, 18 Gbps) with 4:4:4 chroma. It is lighter, thinner (approx. 4.5mm), and immune to EMI. It is also unidirectional .
- High-Bandwidth AOC (e.g., Goobay, Lanberg): Some newer 30m AOC cables support 8K @ 60Hz (HDMI 2.1, 48 Gbps), but these are a distinct, higher-tier product .
Key Specs: 30M Active/AOC HDMI Cable, HDMI 1.4 (4K@30Hz) or HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz) or HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz), Unidirectional Installation, Built-in Signal Amplifier (Active) or Hybrid Fiber/Copper (AOC), No External Power Required, CL2/CL3 or Plenum Rated Options
Usage: Long-Distance AV Connections for Conference Rooms, Auditoriums, Digital Signage, Large Home Theaters, and Commercial Installations where passive copper cables would fail
