FX-I352 – HDMI 2.0 Hybrid Active Optical Cable: High-Bandwidth 4K Signal Extension for Professional AV Installations
The FX-I352 hybrid active optical cable combines fibre optic AV transmission with copper conductors for power and data, supporting high-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 signals in demanding AV environments. Its removable HDMI-A connector design facilitates deployment in installations with restricted access, such as through conduits or within rack systems. The cable’s compact outer diameter and advanced EMI/RFI shielding ensure minimal interference, making it suitable for meeting rooms, control spaces, and digital signage where signal integrity is critical. Micro USB power injection at both source and sink sides further enhances compatibility across diverse hardware platforms.

• 4K UltraHD 60Hz Signal Support: HDMI 2.0 compliance enables uncompressed AV transmission at up to 18Gbps, supporting resolutions up to 4K UltraHD at 60Hz. This ensures compatibility with current professional displays and source equipment in high-resolution presentation or monitoring environments.

• Removable HDMI-A Connector: The detachable connector design allows the cable to be routed through narrow conduits or confined spaces before final assembly. This feature streamlines installation in podiums, wall plates, or equipment racks where access is limited.

• Gold-Plated Precision Contacts: Both ends use HDMI-A/D male connectors with gold-plated contacts, providing stable electrical performance and minimising signal degradation at connection points. This construction supports reliable long-term operation in fixed AV installations.

• Hybrid Fibre and Copper Construction: AV signals are transmitted via optical fibre to reduce electromagnetic interference, while copper conductors carry power and data. The 4.5mm diameter and EMI/RFI shielding ensure robust performance in electrically noisy environments such as control rooms or digital signage setups.

• Active Optical Cable with USB Power: Integrated AOC technology requires Micro USB power injection at both source and sink sides, ensuring sufficient power delivery for active circuitry. This approach maintains signal integrity across extended cable lengths and supports compatibility with a wide range of AV hardware.

Reliable High-Resolution HDMI Signal Extension
The FX-I352 supports reliable 4K signal extension in installations where cable routing, electromagnetic interference, and power delivery present challenges. By combining hybrid fibre/copper construction, removable connectors, and active optical technology, this unit enables stable AV transmission across complex physical environments typical of professional meeting spaces, control centres, and signage deployments.
