Description
The CP-AOCU/CH active optical USB-C to HDMI cable is a plenum-rated signal link designed to carry high-bandwidth video and audio over long distances. It converts a USB-C source to an HDMI display connection while preserving digital signal integrity. The cable supports up to 30 meters (98ft) without the attenuation typical of copper alternatives.
This cable delivers 4K@60Hz at 4:4:4 color sampling and up to 18Gbps data throughput – enabling accurate color and sharp detail. It supports HDR metadata and HDCP 2.2/1.4 along with EDID transparency to maintain source-display compatibility. Embedded audio support includes PCM 8-channel and lossless codecs such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Constructed as a hybrid of polymer insulated glass fibers and tinned copper conductors, the cable measures approximately 4.7mm in diameter and has a 20mm bending radius. Connectors are 24K gold-plated to reduce corrosion and ensure low contact resistance. The plenum-rated jacket meets flammability requirements for air-handling spaces and reduces installation constraints in commercial environments.
Connectivity is straightforward with a USB-C source connector and a male HDMI Type A display connector, both gold-plated for reliable mating. The cable maintains transparent EDID and HDCP handling without signal processing or external power. Reduced susceptibility to EMI and RFI improves performance in electrically noisy installations.
This cable is suited to boardrooms, digital signage, lecture halls, and broadcast racks where long runs and signal fidelity are required. Installers will find the thin, flexible construction easier to route through conduits and tight spaces compared to bulkier copper cables. The plenum jacket and compliance certifications make it suitable for commercial building deployments.
Overall, the CP-AOCU/CH provides a long-reach, low-loss USB-C to HDMI link that preserves video and audio quality. Its active optical design avoids copper signal degradation while offering HDMI feature compatibility. The combination of HDR support, HDCP compliance, and plenum rating delivers a practical solution for professional AV installations.
