Introduction

Thank you for choosing the active HDMI 2.0b fiber AOC cable with Ultra-Lock-System™. 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 connectivity 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 ensures full HDMI signal integrity.
The patented safety lock is universally compatible with any HDMI port. The 360° locking switch allows the connector to be easily switched between locked and unlocked positions.

Intended Use

Use is only permitted indoors, not outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms or similar, must be strictly avoided.

Operating and Connection Diagram

Note: The FX-I355 series is designed for use with +5V passive Power Delivery provided via pin 18 on the HDMI connection from the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the power supply of the integrated fiber module, is transmitted to the Receiver via a pure standard copper connection. Please ensure the source device can supply more than 500 mA.

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

Before using this cable, make sure that all devices connected to the AOC HDMI cable are turned 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.

Power on the HDMI source device and the display.

Note: If the system does not operate correctly, please refer to the FAQ – Troubleshooting chapter in the next section.
