Monoprice 8K Ultra High Speed Fiber Optic Certified HDMI Cable, Active Optical Cable (AOC), 32 ft, Black
A fiber HDMI that actually carries the Ultra High Speed certification label, at a price close to a good copper cable. This is the run from the rack to a projector or a TV across the room.
- Certified Ultra High Speed (48 Gbps)
- 32 ft active optical (fiber)
- 8K60, 4K120, HDR, VRR, eARC
- Directional: source to display
Fiber is the only reliable way to carry 48 Gbps past about 25 ft, and this Monoprice cable is one of the few active optical cables that actually carries the Ultra High Speed label. It is the run from the rack to a ceiling-mounted projector.
Watch out: It is directional and the fiber ends are fragile, so never pull it through conduit by the plug.
Pros
- Certified at 32 ft
- No external power needed
- Thin and easy to route
Cons
- Directional, source end must go to the source
- Fragile connectors
- Amazon lists it in an odd category
