C2G 75ft High Speed HDMI Active Optical Cable 4K 60Hz

Overview

The C2G C2G41485 is a 75-foot active optical HDMI cable designed to deliver 4K video at 60Hz with an 18 Gbps bandwidth, ensuring high-quality signal transmission over long distances without the signal loss common in traditional copper cables. Its fiber optic core effectively resists electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, making it ideal for installations in classrooms, conference rooms, and commercial venues where reliable video performance is critical.

This cable features a plenum-rated outer jacket suitable for routing through plenum spaces, dropped ceilings, or conduit, meeting safety standards for in-wall and in-ceiling use. Reinforced internally with Kevlar, it withstands the stresses of installation and daily use, providing durability for both permanent setups and rental stages. Setup is user-friendly with clearly labeled source and display ends, and it draws power directly from the HDMI source, with an optional USB-C pigtail for additional power when needed.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports HDMI 2.0 signals with an 18 Gbps bandwidth, making it compatible with a wide range of 4K devices such as projectors, monitors, digital signage, and AV receivers. The directional design requires correct orientation, with clearly labeled source and display ends to ensure proper connection. Its fiber optic construction allows it to maintain signal quality over long distances where traditional copper cables would fail.

Because it draws power from the HDMI source and includes an optional USB-C power lead, it can adapt to different power requirements without needing external extenders or power blocks, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable is well suited for professional AV installations in classrooms, conference rooms, lecture halls, and commercial venues where long cable runs are necessary. Its plenum-rated jacket and durable construction make it a strong choice for permanent in-wall or ceiling installations, as well as rental setups that require frequent handling. It works effectively for connecting projectors, large displays, and digital signage that are located far from the source equipment, delivering crisp and lag-free 4K video.
