Vanco UHDFBR200C Active Optical Hdmi Fiber Cable

Product Description

The VANCO UHDFBR200C is an active optical HDMI fiber cable designed to transmit high-definition audio and video signals over extended distances with minimal signal loss. Unlike passive copper HDMI cables, active optical cables use fiber optic technology combined with integrated signal conversion circuitry to maintain signal integrity across long runs. This cable is suited for professional AV installations, commercial display systems, and residential home theater setups where standard copper cables fall short. Licensed AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and installation contractors are the primary users for this type of product.

The UHDFBR200C is used in applications where a reliable, long-distance HDMI connection is required between a source device and a display. Typical install scenarios include boardroom AV systems, digital signage, auditoriums, and home theater rooms where the source and display are separated by a distance that exceeds the practical limits of passive HDMI cables. The fiber construction also provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it well suited for installations near high-voltage conduit or industrial equipment.

Key Features

• Active optical construction maintains HDMI signal integrity over long cable runs
• Fiber optic core provides immunity to electromagnetic interference
• Integrated active circuitry handles signal conversion at each end
• Designed for professional low-voltage AV installations
• Slim, flexible jacket supports routing through conduit and tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style active optical HDMI cable for use with standard HDMI-equipped source devices and displays in residential and commercial AV systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV integrator in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down all connected source and display equipment before making or breaking HDMI connections. Active optical cables have a defined directionality — verify the source and display ends are connected correctly per any labeling on the connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the fiber cable during routing, as fiber cores are sensitive to bend radius violations.
