Product Information

Full details

This Lindy Fibre Optic Hybrid HDMI Cable is designed for users needing to extend HDMI signals over long distances without signal degradation, offering a robust solution for professional AV setups, commercial displays, and high-performance home theaters. Its key benefit is the uncompressed signal amplification over extended lengths, a feat impossible with passive cables. A potential consideration is its reliance on active fiber optic technology, which requires careful handling and specific compatibility checks with source and display devices to ensure optimal performance.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This cable supports resolutions up to 3840x2160@120Hz and 7680x4320 / 10240x4320@60Hz, thanks to its Ultra High-Speed HDMI 2.1 certification and 48Gbps bandwidth.

Can this cable be used with older HDMI devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions (like HDMI 1.4 and 2.0). However, you will only get the features supported by the older standard when connecting to older devices.

What is the benefit of the hybrid fibre optic and copper design?

The hybrid design combines the flexibility and excellent EMI/RFI resistance of fiber optics with the robustness of copper, allowing for uncompressed signal transmission over long distances without degradation, which is crucial for high-performance AV setups.

Does this cable support dynamic HDR formats like Dolby Vision?

Yes, it fully supports dynamic HDR formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+, providing enhanced contrast, brightness, and color depth on a scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame basis.

What audio features does this cable support?

It supports eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), allowing for lossless audio transmission from your TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver. It also supports high bitrate audio and up to 32 channels, enabling object-based audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

How does this cable benefit gaming?

The cable supports gaming-specific HDMI 2.1 features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) to reduce screen tearing and stuttering, ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) for optimal latency settings, and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) for smoother real-time gameplay.

What is the cable length and diameter?

This specific model is 15 meters long and has a cable diameter of 4.5 mm, making it flexible for installations in tight spaces.

What warranty is provided with this cable?

The Lindy Fibre Optic Hybrid HDMI Cable comes with a 2-Year Warranty.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the source and display devices. Verify that both devices are powered on and the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Try rebooting both devices and testing with a shorter, known-working cable to isolate the issue.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not bent too sharply or under excessive strain. Try connecting through a different HDMI port on the display or source device. Verify that the source and display devices support the resolution and refresh rate being used.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected

Confirm that both the source device's output settings and the display's input settings are configured for the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the specific HDMI 2.1 features being utilized (like 8K or 120Hz) are supported by both the source and the display.

Poor HDR performance or color issues

Make sure HDR is enabled in the settings of both the source device and the display. Confirm that the content being played supports HDR. Ensure the cable is fully seated and that the display is set to the appropriate HDR picture mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables uncompressed HDMI signal transmission over long distances.
  • Supports the latest HDMI 2.1 features including 8K resolution and dynamic HDR.
  • Hybrid design offers excellent EMI/RFI resistance.
  • Ideal for professional installations requiring high-quality, reliable video and audio.
  • Features advanced gaming-centric technologies like VRR and ALLM.

Cons

  • Active fiber optic technology may require more careful handling than passive cables.
  • Potential compatibility nuances with certain older HDMI devices or specific signal configurations.
  • Higher cost compared to standard passive HDMI cables.
  • Requires careful attention to connector orientation during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source and display devices are powered off before connecting the cable.
  2. Connect the HDMI Type A (Standard) male connector to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., computer, media player, gaming console).
  3. Connect the other HDMI Type A (Standard) male connector to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor).
  4. Power on the source device, followed by the display device.
  5. Ensure the correct HDMI input is selected on your display.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is certified for HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed, ensuring compatibility with devices supporting this standard, including 4K@120Hz, 8K@60Hz, HDR (including Dolby Vision and HDR10+), eARC, VRR, ALLM, and QFT.
  • It is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions (1.4, 2.0), though features specific to HDMI 2.1 may not be available when connected to older devices.
  • While the hybrid nature provides excellent signal integrity, it's always recommended to check device-specific compatibility notes, especially for specialized professional equipment.

Care:

  • Handle the connectors with care to avoid damage. Do not force them into ports.
  • Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable. The flexible structure allows for easier routing, but integrity should still be maintained.
  • Keep the cable away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight.
  • Clean connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
