Black Box AOC-HL-H2-15M-R2 15m Active Optical HDMI 2.0 Cable
Overview
The Black Box AOC-HL-H2-15M-R2 is a 15-meter active optical cable designed for transmitting high-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 signals over extended distances without signal degradation. This cable is engineered to support 4K resolution at 60Hz with HDR and 18Gbps bandwidth, making it suitable for connecting video management systems (VMS), network video recorders (NVRs), or high-resolution displays in surveillance and commercial AV deployments. Its active optical nature allows for thinner, lighter cabling compared to traditional copper HDMI, simplifying installation in complex environments. The AOC-HL-H2-15M-R2 is built with a black color finish for discreet integration.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard HDMI 2.0 ports. It is suitable for use with Black Box's own range of AV extenders and matrix switchers, as well as third-party VMS platforms and NVRs that output HDMI signals, such as those from Milestone, Genetec, or ExacqVision. It supports HDCP 2.2 content protection, ensuring compatibility with protected media streams from sources like Blu-ray players or streaming devices when used in conjunction with compatible displays or distribution systems.
Installation Notes
Active optical cables require careful handling. Ensure the source and display devices are powered off before connecting or disconnecting the cable. The cable is directional; check for source and display labels on the connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks exceeding a 1-inch radius to prevent damage to the fiber optic core. The maximum pull tension should not exceed 100N. Do not use in environments with excessive electromagnetic interference or where the cable may be subjected to physical stress beyond its design limits.
