Description

StarTech 8K-A-100F-HDMI-CABLE 100ft HDMI 2.1 Hybrid Active Optical Cable

Overview

The StarTech 8K-A-100F-HDMI-CABLE is a 100-foot (30.4M) hybrid active optical cable (AOC) designed for long-distance transmission of high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 signals. This cable is essential for installations requiring pristine video and audio quality over extended runs, such as connecting AV sources to displays in large conference rooms, digital signage networks, or professional video production environments. Its plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with building codes for in-wall and ceiling installations.

Compatibility

This cable supports the full HDMI 2.1 specification, delivering up to 48Gbps bandwidth. It is compatible with any device featuring an HDMI 2.1 port, including:

  • 8K displays and projectors running at 60Hz
  • 4K displays and projectors running at 120Hz
  • Gaming consoles (e.g., PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X)
  • High-end AV receivers and soundbars
  • Professional video matrix switchers and distribution amplifiers
  • Workstations and servers with HDMI 2.1 output
Note: For full 8K 60Hz or 4K 120Hz performance, both the source device and the display must support HDMI 2.1 features.

Installation Notes

The cable features a hybrid design combining fiber optic and copper conductors. The optical components require careful handling to avoid damage; do not bend the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius of 0.2 inches (4.6 mm). The connectors are plated with gold for optimal signal integrity. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), and it is rated for plenum spaces, suitable for commercial building installations.
