Product Information

Full details

This 70-meter Fibre Optic Hybrid Micro-HDMI 18G Cable is designed for professionals requiring long-distance, high-resolution video transmission. It offers a flexible solution for extending Micro-HDMI, HDMI, and DVI signals without additional adapters, supporting up to 4K@60Hz with HDR. A key caveat is the need for careful handling due to the delicate fibre optic core, and the detachable connectors require secure attachment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate this cable supports?

This cable supports resolutions up to 4K (4096 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate, with an 18Gbps data transfer rate, in compliance with the HDMI 2.0 specification.

Can I use this cable to connect a DVI device to an HDMI device?

Yes, the cable comes with detachable HDMI and DVI connectors. You can connect the Micro-HDMI end to your source and use the detachable DVI connector on the other end to connect to a DVI display. Note that DVI does not carry audio, so a separate audio connection may be needed.

Is the fibre optic cable fragile?

While fibre optic cable offers superior signal transmission, it requires careful handling. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive force, especially near the connectors, to prevent damage to the internal fibre core.

What is the advantage of a hybrid fibre optic cable?

A hybrid fibre optic cable combines the benefits of fibre optics (long distance, high bandwidth, EMI/RFI resistance) with copper wiring (flexibility, ease of connection). This makes it ideal for professional installations requiring robust and extended signal transmission.

Does this cable support HDR content?

Yes, this cable supports HDR Premium, which allows for a wider color gamut, greater contrast, and enhanced brightness for more vibrant and realistic images.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently clean the gold-plated connectors. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the contacts.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This product comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure devices are powered on and the correct input source is selected. Confirm that the detachable connector is firmly attached. Test with a shorter, known-good cable to rule out device issues.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering

Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the cable. Ensure connectors are clean and properly seated. If using detachable connectors, re-attach them firmly. Verify the signal source and display support the cable's bandwidth (18Gbps for 4K@60Hz).

Reduced resolution or refresh rate

Confirm that both the source device and the display support higher resolutions (e.g., 4K) and refresh rates (e.g., 60Hz). Check the HDMI version support on all connected devices. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are secure.

Audio issues (no sound or distorted sound)

Ensure the audio is being transmitted over HDMI. If using a DVI connector, audio will not be transmitted, and a separate audio cable will be required. Check audio settings on the source device and confirm multi-channel audio support on the display.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source and display devices are powered off before connecting the cable.
  2. Connect the Micro-HDMI end of the cable to the Micro-HDMI port on your source device.
  3. Attach the appropriate detachable connector (HDMI or DVI) to the other end of the cable, ensuring a firm click.
  4. Connect the attached connector to the input port on your display device.
  5. Power on your devices and select the correct input source.

Compatibility:

  • Supports HDMI 2.0 and earlier versions. Ensure your source and display devices also support HDMI 2.0 for full 4K@60Hz and HDR functionality.

  • Supports resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60Hz.
  • Backward compatible with lower resolutions and refresh rates.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to protect the fibre optic core.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use, within the specified operating temperature range.
  • Ensure detachable connectors are securely fastened to prevent intermittent signal issues.
