Description
The CLS-AOCH/UF-33 is an ultra high-speed hybrid HDMI cable designed to transport high-bandwidth video and audio over long distances using a combination of OM3 fiber and copper conductors – it supports up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz formats. The cable delivers transparent EDID and HDCP support to preserve source and display communication. Its thin 4.5mm LSHF jacket reduces weight and routing complexity in AV installations.
Key features include a maximum 48Gbps data rate, support for HDMI 2.1 features such as HDR, DSC, eARC and HDCP 2.2, and embedded multi-channel audio formats – all conveyed with minimal signal attenuation. The cable uses a 4-channel 850 nm VCSEL O/E converter to enable optical transmission for high-speed lanes while retaining copper conductors for power and control lines. Connectors are 24K gold-plated Type A K-Lock HDMI for reliable mating and corrosion resistance.
Performance specifications include certified Ultra High-Speed HDMI compliance for lengths up to 20m and optical extension up to 100m for longer runs – the 33ft version balances reach and manageability. The cable supports color spaces including RGB, YCbCr and BT.2020 and handles dynamic HDR metadata. It also reduces EMI and RFI susceptibility compared with pure copper cables, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Connectivity is provided by male HDMI Type A connectors at both ends with K-Lock retention and gold plating for consistent contact. The hybrid design integrates OM3 multimode fiber and bare copper conductors while requiring no external power for the cable itself. It supports CEC and Ethernet over HDMI where implemented and preserves audio formats including Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Typical use cases include broadcast contribution links, digital signage runs, control room displays, and professional AV installs where long-distance 8K or high-frame-rate 4K signals are required – the thin jacket and small bend radius simplify routing through conduits and raceways. The cable is LSHF rated for low smoke and halogen free environments, making it suitable for many commercial installations. It is available in a range of lengths from 10m to 100m to match site requirements.
Installation is straightforward due to the flexible 4.5mm construction and K-Lock connectors – no external power or inline electronics are needed for standard operation. The cable tolerates a 45mm bending radius and operates across a wide storage temperature range. Compliance with REACH and RoHS plus CE and FCC safety markings supports regulatory acceptance in professional projects.
In summary the CLS-AOCH/UF-33 provides a compact LSHF hybrid HDMI solution for high-bandwidth AV distribution – combining fiber reach, copper control, and HDMI 2.1 feature support in a thin, low-profile cable. It is engineered to preserve signal fidelity while minimizing interference and installation impact. For AV systems that require long runs of 8K or high-frame-rate 4K, this cable delivers the needed bandwidth and compatibility.
