Description:

The HDMI 2.0 Active Optical Cable (AOC) Extender is a long-distance, rugged HDMI solution designed for military, industrial, and field-deployed applications requiring high-bandwidth video transmission and mechanical reliability. Supporting HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 18 Gbit/s, the extender enables 4K UHD (3840×2160) video at 60 Hz over distances up to 100 meters—far exceeding the limitations of standard copper HDMI cables. By combining fiber-optic transmission with integrated active electronics in a hybrid copper/fiber AOC architecture, this HDMI extender eliminates the need for repeaters or powered extenders. The solution operates with no external power supply and requires no configuration, ensuring true plug-and-play functionality. For mechanical and environmental robustness, the cable assembly incorporates a Shell Size 17 MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Type Tri-Start threaded coupling mechanism with an anti-decoupling device to prevent unintentional disconnection under shock and vibration. When mated, the connector interface provides IP68 environmental protection, including resistance to dust ingress and temporary immersion, ensuring reliable performance in wet, dirty, and outdoor operating conditions. Supplied as a fully terminated cable, it requires no cabling operations in the field and no tools, enabling rapid, reliable deployment in harsh and mission-critical environments.
