Infobit AOC-HDMI-F20 HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable 20m

AOC-HDMI-F20 Active Optical Cable

The Infobit AOC-HDMI-F20 carries HDMI 2.0 video and audio over a 20 metre hybrid optical link. Fixed HDMI Type A connectors on both ends plug directly into source and display equipment without field termination. The active optical design converts electrical TMDS signals to light inside the connector housings, then back to HDMI at the far end.

Procurement teams specify this 20m run when copper HDMI leads exceed reliable length limits. Standard passive HDMI copper struggles beyond roughly 5 metres at 4K data rates. The F20 model targets boardrooms, lecture halls, digital signage backbones, and control rooms that need a single cable from rack to display.

HDMI 2.0 on this cable supports up to 18 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. That covers 4K Ultra HD at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma in the HDMI 2.0 class. HDR10 and HDR10+ metadata pass when the source and sink both negotiate compatible modes. IT installers validate EDID handshakes on site because active cables present as a standard HDMI device to both ends.

The hybrid construction routes high-speed lanes over optical fibre while copper conductors carry power and control channels to the active electronics. That layout reduces electromagnetic pickup on long cable paths through ceilings, conduit, and cable trays. Bend radius and jacket diameter stay manageable compared with heavy-gauge copper alternatives at the same span.

Directional labelling on the source and display shells is mandatory during commissioning. Reversing the ends breaks the optical-to-electrical conversion chain and produces no picture. Rack installers typically dress the source end toward the matrix switcher or media player and the display end toward the panel or projector input.

Key Features

• 20 Metre Fixed Run
  Delivers a pre-terminated 20 m (65 ft) span with no splice points or pull boxes in the signal path.

• HDMI 2.0 Signal Class
  Supports HDMI 2.0 timing up to 4K60 for professional AV and signage workloads.

• Active Optical Hybrid Design

  • Optical fibres carry high-speed TMDS lanes for lower EMI pickup on long paths
  • Copper conductors supply power and side-band channels to the active electronics

• Fixed Type A to Type A
  Standard full-size HDMI plugs on source and display ends simplify rack-to-panel routing.

• Directional Active Electronics
  Source and display labels on the housings must match the signal flow during installation.

• Reduced Cable Bulk
  Optical cores keep the jacket slimmer than heavy-gauge copper alternatives at the same length.

Specifications

What’s in the Box

• HDMI 2.0 active optical cable assembly, 20 m length

• Source and display end labels on connector shells

Why Choose AOC-HDMI-F20

• Twenty-metre reach avoids HDMI repeaters or fibre converters in many room designs.

• Optical signal path maintains 4K60-class timing where passive copper would attenuate.

• Fixed Type A plugs remove crimp tools and field polish steps on site.

• Part code F20 identifies the 20 m length variant separately from the shorter F10 SKU.

• Hybrid construction balances bend radius with long-haul signal integrity in ceiling trays.
