What it does well.
Key features
Verified at a glance
48Gbps class bandwidth. Rated cable capacity, not internet speed or a guarantee that every connected port exposes every mode.
Up to 8K at 60Hz. Requires a compatible source, display, content path, firmware and selected signal format.
Up to 4K at 120Hz. The exact fibre model is listed for up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. It is directional and must be installed with Source and Display ends correctly placed.
15m active optical run. Fibre transmission is suited to a long point-to-point route and helps resist electromagnetic interference.
HDR and audio carriage. Carries Dynamic HDR, HDR10, Dolby Vision, eARC on compatible systems.
Video performance and bandwidth
Resolution without guesswork
Model 80407 is rated up to 48Gbps and up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz. Those labels describe the cable’s supported ceiling under compatible conditions; they do not force a source to output that mode.
A television or monitor may reserve its highest-bandwidth mode for selected HDMI ports or require an “Enhanced”, “Input Signal Plus”, “Deep Colour”, “8K”, “4K high frame rate” or similarly named input option. Consult the display manual because menu names vary.
- Any AV receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate, adapter, dock or capture device in the path must also support the selected mode.
Gaming and refresh-rate guidance
Smooth modes need a complete compatible chain
The exact listing identifies gaming-related signalling such as VRR. Each function must also exist on the console or GPU, game, display, firmware and selected HDMI port.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X commonly target supported modes up to 4K at 120Hz. Even when this cable is rated for 4K at 120Hz, it cannot make a console or game output a refresh rate the console does not provide.
- Select the correct HDMI input and enable the display’s enhanced/high-frame-rate input mode.
HDR and eARC audio
The cable carries formats; it does not create them
Verified picture/audio features for this exact listing include Dynamic HDR, HDR10, Dolby Vision, eARC. The source, content, application, display and any AV equipment must support the chosen format.
Dynamic HDR or Dolby Vision requires compatible encoded content and an enabled display. An HDMI cable does not convert SDR to HDR and cannot add brightness, contrast or colour capability that the screen does not have.
- ARC fallback operates within the older ARC format limits when eARC is not available throughout the connection.
Directional fibre construction
Long-run active optical architecture
Directional active optical HDMI cable (AOC) using fibre transmission for the 15m run, with active electronics in the connector assemblies.
No official cable-certification claim is made. The exact product is identified by SKU, 15m length and directional Source/Display connector labels.
- Outer construction: Flexible black TPE-coated long-run cable.
Use scenarios
Practical connection planning
Projector across a room. Route from an HDMI source or AV receiver to a ceiling or rear-of-room projector, observing the Source and Display labels.
Long home-cinema link. Connect equipment racks to a television or projector where a 15m passive copper run would be less practical.
Conference display. Carry a point-to-point HDMI signal from the presentation source side to a room display, after testing the full route.
Compatible devices and systems
Full-size HDMI Type-A fit
Sources. Consoles, GPUs, HDMI laptops, media players and AV receivers with full-size HDMI output.
Displays. TVs, monitors and projectors with full-size HDMI input at a mutually supported mode.
Audio equipment. Compatible receivers and soundbars; use labelled eARC/ARC ports for audio return.
Both ends are full-size HDMI Type-A male; this cable does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini/Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.
Setup and usability guidance
Connect, configure, verify
- Before routing, identify the connector marked Source and connect it to the HDMI output of the console, PC, media player or AV receiver.
- Connect the plug marked Display to the HDMI input of the television, monitor or projector. The cable will not operate when reversed.
- Test the cable in the intended direction on the floor before placing it in a conduit, ceiling route or fixed installation.
- Select the correct display input and enable the enhanced/high-bandwidth input mode required for 8K60 or 4K120.
Check before buying
Important limitations
Confirm every point that affects your intended mode:
- The required route is suitable for 15m and the connector orientation can be preserved end to end.
- The source HDMI output and display HDMI input both support the intended mode, up to this model’s verified ceiling of 8K60 or 4K120.
- Any receiver, switch, splitter, capture device, dock, adapter, wall plate or extension between the endpoints supports the same bandwidth, HDR, HDCP and audio features.
- The source content, game, GPU/console firmware and display input settings support the requested resolution and refresh rate.
What this product does
Scope and boundaries
- Carries compatible digital HDMI video and audio between two full-size HDMI ports.
- Provides a cable path rated up to 48Gbps and up to 8K60 or 4K120 for compatible systems.
- Passes supported features from this exact listing, including Dynamic HDR, HDR10, Dolby Vision, VRR, eARC, low-power active optical transmission, no separate power adapter.
- It does not add 8K, a higher refresh rate, HDR, VRR, eARC or an audio codec to equipment that lacks that capability.
- It does not upscale content, decode surround sound, generate extra frames or make an older HDMI port operate as a newer one.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA to full-size HDMI.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Hold the connector housing when inserting or removing the plug; align it carefully with the HDMI port.
- Test direction and the target video/audio mode before concealing the cable.
- Update source and display firmware, use the correct high-bandwidth ports and verify the selected input mode.
- Do not pull by the cable body, force a misaligned connector or leave the plug under lateral tension.
- Do not sharply bend, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or route beside heat or moisture.
- Do not advertise or select a mode beyond this exact model’s verified 4K120/8K60 ceiling.
Warnings and limitations
Read before installation
Maximums are negotiated. 48Gbps, 8K60 and 4K120 are ceiling capabilities. The lowest-capability source, port, intermediate device, display, format or setting controls the result.
Direction is mandatory. Source must face the sending device and Display must face the receiving screen. Reverse installation produces no signal.
Feature support is end to end. HDR, VRR, ALLM, eARC, HDCP and audio formats operate only when supported and enabled across every relevant device.
Adapters can lower the ceiling. USB-C docks, DisplayPort adapters, AV receivers, splitters, switches and wall plates may cap bandwidth or omit features even if this cable is capable.

Questions buyers ask.
Is SKU 80407 a copper HDMI cable?
No. It is a 15m active optical HDMI cable that uses fibre transmission and active electronics in the connector assemblies.
Is the cable directional?
Yes. Connect Source to the sending device and Display to the television, monitor or projector.
Does it need a separate power adapter?
No separate adapter is specified. The active cable draws operating power through compatible HDMI ports.
Does it support 8K at 60Hz?
It is listed for up to 8K60 when the source, display, ports, firmware, content path and settings all support that mode.
Can it carry 4K at 120Hz?
Yes, up to 4K120 on a fully compatible system. This exact SKU is not being advertised for 4K240.
Can I use it for PS5 or Xbox Series X?
Yes, with compatible full-size HDMI ports.
How should I orient it for eARC?
Keep the television at the Display end and the soundbar or AV receiver at the Source end, using the labelled eARC ports and enabling eARC/CEC as required.
Can I run it through a wall or conduit?
Only after checking the cable’s actual installation marking and local requirements. No in-wall or fire rating is claimed here.
How tightly can I bend the fibre cable?
Use broad, gentle curves and avoid kinks, crushing or sharp folds. No exact bend-radius figure is published here, so do not invent one.
Will it work with older HDMI devices?
It can operate with compatible earlier HDMI equipment, but only at the highest mode supported by every device and port.
