Introduction

Thank you for choosing the active HDMI 2.0b fiber optic AOC Extender cable. With this cable, you can transmit HDMI signals up to 100m without external Power Delivery. The cable is a hybrid cable containing both optical fibers and copper conductors.

Our HDMI Active Hybrid Cable is the most competitive HDMI connection solution on the market. It supports a maximum data rate of 6 Gbit/s per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 45 mm.

With the embedded advanced optical engine, the HDMI hybrid cable offers full HDMI signal integrity.

Operation and Connection Diagram

Note: The FX-I350 series is designed for use with a +5V passive Power Delivery supplied via pin 18 on the HDMI connection from the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the power supply of the integrated fiber optic module, is transmitted to the Receiver via a pure standard copper connection. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.

This cable can only be used in one direction. The connectors are marked “SOURCE” and “DISPLAY.” Each plug must be inserted into the correct device to avoid signal loss.

Before using this cable, ensure that all devices connected to the AOC-HDMI cable are switched off and not powered.

Connect the “SOURCE” side of the HDMI plug to the Transmitter and the “DISPLAY” side of the other HDMI plug to the Receiver/display. This works without additional power supply.

Note: We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as this may degrade signal transmission performance.

Turn on the HDMI source device and the display. If the system does not operate properly, please refer to the FAQ – Troubleshooting chapter in the next section.

FAQ - Troubleshooting

• The display shows:
• A black screen
• A distorted image
• Interference noise

1. Check that the connectors are plugged into the correct sockets of the source and Receiver devices; check the markings on the plugs.
2. Ensure that the HDMI plugs are firmly inserted into the HDMI source and the HDMI display.
3. Verify that the HDMI source and HDMI display are powered on and properly started.
4. Reset the system by unplugging and re-plugging the “Source” and “Display” connectors.
5. Restart the system with the HDMI cable connected.
