Full details
This Kenable Active Optical HDMI cable is designed for users needing to transmit high-resolution video and audio over exceptionally long distances, up to 100 meters, without signal degradation or the need for external power. Its ultra-slim, flexible fiber optic design makes it ideal for installations where space is limited or cables need to be routed through walls. While it supports the latest HDMI 2.0 standards for 4K 60Hz HDR content, it's crucial to ensure your source and display devices are also compatible with these advanced features.

FAQs
Does this cable require external power?
No, the Kenable Active Optical HDMI cable has integrated power and does not require any external power adapters.
What is the maximum length this cable supports?
This specific model supports lengths up to 100 meters.
Is this cable suitable for 4K 120Hz content?
This cable is designed for HDMI 2.0, supporting up to 4K at 60Hz. For 4K 120Hz, you would need an HDMI 2.1 rated cable.
Can I use this cable with older HDMI devices (e.g., 1080p)?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions. However, it will only operate at the maximum capabilities supported by the oldest device in the chain.
How do I know which end is 'Source' and which is 'Display'?
The connectors are typically labeled. The 'Source' end connects to your media device (e.g., Blu-ray player, computer), and the 'Display' end connects to your TV or projector.
Is this cable directional?
Yes, Active Optical Cables are directional. Ensure you connect the 'Source' end to the source device and the 'Display' end to the display device as indicated on the cable or connectors.
Will this cable work through walls?
Yes, the ultra-slim and flexible design makes it suitable for routing through walls or conduits. Ensure compliance with local building codes for cable installation.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal
Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the correct source and display devices. Ensure the display is set to the correct input. Check that both the source and display devices support the resolution and features being used (e.g., 4K HDR).
Intermittent signal loss or flickering
Check for any sharp bends or physical damage to the cable. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Try connecting the cable directly without any adapters or splitters.
Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)
Confirm that your source device and display both support the desired resolution (4K at 60Hz) and HDR. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the HDMI ports. Check device settings for resolution output.
Audio issues (e.g., no audio, distorted audio)
Ensure ARC is enabled on both the source device and the display if you are using that feature. Verify audio settings on your source device and check if the display is set to pass through audio correctly. Test with a different HDMI cable if possible to isolate the issue.
