Lindy 10m HDMI 2.1 Fibre Optic Hybrid Cable – 8K Active Optical Cable
Lindy’s Fibre Optic Hybrid HDMI cables are a professional solution for extending HDMI signals over long distances without signal loss. By combining the flexibility and high EMI & RFI resistance of fibre optic cable with standard copper conductors, these hybrid AOC (Active Optical Cable) solutions are ideal for critical AV setups, commercial displays, eSports environments and high-performance residential installations.
The internal active technology delivers uncompressed amplification of the HDMI signal, enabling long-distance transmission of high-bandwidth HDMI 8K content that is not possible with passive cables.
8K HDMI 2.1 Performance
With a bandwidth of 48Gbps, this cable supports full HDMI 2.1 performance including:
- Resolutions up to 3840x2160@120Hz
- Resolutions up to 7680x4320 / 10240x4320@60Hz
Enjoy incredibly detailed, sharp content at higher refresh rates for optimal viewing of movies, graphics and high-resolution imagery.
Advanced HDR Support
This HDMI fibre optic hybrid cable supports:
- Static HDR
- Dynamic HDR formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+
Dynamic HDR enables scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame optimisation, delivering:
- Wider colour gamut based on the BT.2020 colour space
- Higher peak brightness and deeper blacks for superior contrast
- Greater colour depth
This is essential for high-quality transmission of VOD services, TV shows, movies, VR content and video games, making the cable ideal for eSports, retail displays and premium home cinema installations.
Immersive Audio with eARC
HDMI eARC support simplifies connectivity to compatible sound systems, AV receivers and soundbars by passing lossless audio from source to display over a single cable. eARC supports:
- High bitrate audio with sample rates up to 192kHz
- Up to 32 audio channels
- Object-based formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
This enables truly immersive, multi-dimensional audio for residential setups, cinema installations and inspiring event or venue distribution.
Please Note: eARC/ARC and CEC functions are not supported for lengths over 20m.
Gaming & Real-Time Content Features
Designed to enhance modern gaming and fast-action content, these AOC HDMI cables support key HDMI 2.1 gaming features:
- VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Reduces and eliminates lag, judder and frame tearing for smoother gameplay and fast-moving video.
- ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): Automatically enables the ideal low-latency setting for responsive transitions between different types of content.
- QFT (Quick Frame Transport): Transports frames at a higher rate to minimise latency, which is particularly beneficial for real-time VR experiences.
These features also benefit fast-paced applications such as sports bar distribution, medical facilities, experiential displays and news broadcasting.
