Kramer Electronics 97-0416098 Optical Hdmi Cable Plenum 98ft

Product Description

The KRAMER ELECTRONICS 97-0416098 is a plenum-rated optical HDMI cable designed for long-distance audio and video signal transmission in commercial AV installations. At 98 feet in length, this cable uses fiber-optic technology to carry HDMI signals without the signal degradation typically associated with copper cables at extended runs. The plenum rating means the cable jacket meets fire and smoke codes required for installation in air-handling spaces such as ceiling plenums and raised floors. AV integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers.

This cable is suited for commercial and institutional environments where long HDMI runs are required between source devices and displays, projectors, or video walls. Typical applications include conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and control rooms where routing cable through plenum-rated air-handling spaces is required by code. The 98-foot length accommodates installations where standard copper HDMI cables would fall short in signal integrity.

Key Features

• Optical fiber construction enables long-distance HDMI signal transmission at 98 feet without active signal boosting
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke propagation requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• Designed for commercial AV signal processing applications in fixed installations
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable for commercial HDMI signal distribution systems requiring plenum-rated optical cable at approximately 98-foot run lengths.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV systems technician familiar with NEC plenum cabling requirements. Verify that all conduit, cable trays, and air-handling spaces are properly rated before routing this cable. Avoid sharp bends at termination points, as optical fiber cables have a minimum bend radius that must be respected to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the fiber. Power down connected source and display devices before making or breaking HDMI connections.
