Pure Fi introduced an HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable (AOC) for A/V professionals.
The modular design features detachable Tx and Rx modules, making it possible to fish the pure optical fiber cable through conduit and other narrow openings with ease before terminating at the desired endpoints.
Key features of the new Pure Fi Pro HDMI 2.1 AOC include:
- CL3 Rated: Tested and certified to meet certain fire safety standards for safe in-wall installation, including the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for flame propagation and smoke generation.
- Long-Distance, High-Bandwidth Connectivity Without Interference: Throughput up to 48 Gbps, supporting 8K content at 60 Hz or 4K content at 120 Hz over distances of up to 1,000 feet with near-zero EMI.
- Lightweight, Flexible & Modular: Detachable Tx and Rx modules mean installers only need to fish cable that is less than .2 inch thin for easy in-wall and ceiling installation - no bulky HDMI connectors to get in the way. Once the cable is installed, future maintenance and upgrades are as simple as swapping out the head units without having to replace existing in-wall cabling.
“We set out to design an optical connectivity solution that offers the same blazing-fast performance our customers have come to expect from Pure Fi, but with a number of benefits sure to be appreciated by professionals in the A/V space,” said Bill Huang, CEO of Pure Fi. “Our new Pro HDMI AOC features a modular design that serves the dual purpose of streamlining in-wall installation, while future-proofing the AV investment, all thanks to detachable connectors that can be replaced and upgraded in the future without abandoning existing in-wall cabling.”
