Maximum capability is not a guarantee for every setup
25m routing makes orientation, bend protection and pre-installation testing especially important. The cable cannot override the source or display limits.
- Verified exact-SKU target: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz.
- Published capacity: Up to 48Gbps.
- The source, display and selected ports must all support the requested mode.
- Receivers, switches, splitters, capture devices, docks, adapters, wall plates and extra cables may lower the result.
What the cable can carry
Audio and feature support
HDR10 signalling
The cable can transport the listed signal only when the source, content and receiving equipment support it.
Dolby Vision pass-through
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
eARC
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
active optical long-run transmission
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
no separate power adapter listed
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
A cable does not decode Dolby or DTS audio, create HDR, generate extra frames or add ARC/eARC to an ordinary HDMI port. Those functions come from compatible devices, content and settings.
Exact-SKU guidance
Construction and routing
Active optical build
Directional active optical HDMI cable using fibre transmission, with zinc-alloy connector housings and a flexible PVC-covered cable body.
- Directional active optical cable: Source plug to sender; Display plug to screen
- Plan gentle bends and protect the connector housings from pulling force.
- Do not infer an in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating unless it is printed on the supplied cable.
- Test the exact intended mode before any route becomes difficult to access.

Setup and usability guidance
- Step 1: Plan the route and make sure both active connector housings can pass through any conduit before installation.
- Step 2: Connect Source to the sending device and Display/Screen to the receiving display.
- Step 3: Test the complete cable at the intended mode before fixing, concealing or closing the route.
- Step 4: Route with broad curves; do not pull the cable by either connector housing.
- Step 5: Enable the correct HDMI input mode and verify picture, HDR and audio before final cable management.
After setup, open the television or monitor signal-information page. It is the quickest way to confirm the actual resolution, refresh rate and HDR state received by the display.
Exact-SKU guidance
Compatible devices and systems
Match the connector and the port capability
- Full-size HDMI consoles, PCs, media players and AV receivers as sources
- Full-size HDMI televisions, monitors and projectors as displays
- Compatible eARC systems using the correct labelled ports and direction
- Earlier HDMI devices at the lower mode negotiated by the complete chain
Operating systems normally need no cable driver. A computer may still require the correct graphics driver and display settings, while a USB-C-only device needs a separate video-capable adapter or dock.
Avoid the common mismatch
Check before buying
- The required physical route really suits 25m, with enough slack but no tight coil or tension.
- Both connector ends match the intended ports: Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A male.
- The requested mode stays within the exact-SKU guidance: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz.
- 25m routing makes orientation, bend protection and pre-installation testing especially important. The cable cannot override the source or display limits.
- Every adapter, receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate or extra cable in the path supports the same video, HDCP and audio requirements.
- A concealed route does not require a safety rating that has not been verified for this cable.
Scope and limitations
What this product does
- Provides a 25m physical HDMI connection using full-size hdmi type-a male to full-size hdmi type-a male.
- Carries compatible digital video and audio within the verified 8K60 / 4K120 guidance.
- Passes supported functions such as HDR10 signalling, Dolby Vision pass-through, eARC, active optical long-run transmission when the complete system supports them.
- Uses active optical transmission for the long route when installed Source-to-Display.
What this product does not do
- It does not upscale content, create HDR, decode audio, generate frames or improve the native quality of a display.
- It does not add a resolution, refresh rate, ARC/eARC feature or HDCP version to a port that lacks it.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini/Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.
- It does not work in reverse and is not a passive copper cable.
Care and installation practice
What to do
- Check the exact SKU and length on the order and received package before installation.
- Confirm Source and Display orientation before routing the cable.
- Hold the connector housing—not the cable body—when plugging or unplugging.
- Test the intended video and audio mode with a direct connection before adding other devices.
What not to do
- Do not force a misaligned HDMI plug or pull a connector out by the cable.
- Do not reverse the Source and Display ends or make tight bends in the optical cable.
- Do not sharply kink, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or expose the cable to heat or moisture.
- Do not assume the cable upgrades the HDMI capability of a source, display, adapter or receiver.
Read before use
Warnings and limitations
Verified ceiling
Directional connection is compulsory; Source and Display/Screen cannot be reversed.
Installation caution
No in-wall, plenum or fire-safety rating is claimed.
Not a converter
Do not use a tight bend, staple, crush point or pulling force on the optical cable.
Route and rating
Test before concealment because a reversed or damaged fixed run is harder to correct later.
