UNITEK 10M-100M Active Fiber Optic HDMI Cable | 8K@60Hz Active Optical Cable (AOC)
UNITEK C11085GY01-10M: The Ultimate 10m 8K HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable
For installers and AV enthusiasts in Pakistan, the distance between your 8K TV or projector and your source device (like a gaming PC or media player) can be a major obstacle. The UNITEK C11085GY01-10M is the premium solution, a 10-meter Active Optical Cable that bridges this gap without any compromise on quality.
Breakthrough Active Optical Technology
Active Optical Cable technology is a significant advancement over passive copper cabling. It uses optical fiber for the high-speed data lanes, which are immune to electrical interference and suffer virtually no signal loss over distance. The result? True, uncompressed 8K@60Hz video signals over a 10-meter run, something no standard passive cable can achieve. This active technology is the reason you can confidently install this cable in-wall or across a room and trust it will perform flawlessly.
True 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Performance
To enjoy the full potential of modern 8K and high-refresh-rate 4K gaming, a cable must have the bandwidth. The UNITEK C11085GY01-10M provides a staggering 48Gbps of bandwidth, fully compliant with the HDMI 2.1 standard. This raw speed unlocks essential features:

-
4:4:4 Chroma Subsampling: Enjoy the purest color detail for text and graphics from a connected PC or console.
Premium Build for Professional Installations
The physical construction of this cable is as impressive as its technical specifications. It has a slim and flexible design, with an outer diameter of just 4.6mm and a tight 10mm bend radius, making it easy to route through cable trays, conduit, and around corners without kinking or damaging the internal fibers. The robust connectors feature 24K gold-plated plugs housed in a durable alloy housing that provides superior protection and heat dissipation. To provide peace of mind for you and your customers, this cable is covered by a 2-year warranty.
Important Note for Installers: The UNITEK C11085GY01-10M is a directional Active Optical Cable. It has a clearly marked "Source" end that must be connected to your HDMI source (e.g., a game console or PC) and a "Display" end that connects to your TV or projector. Installing the cable backwards will result in no picture, so pay close attention to the labels on the connectors before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: A customer in Pakistan is setting up a home theater with a projector 10 meters from the AV receiver. Will this 10-meter cable provide 8K picture quality at that distance? +
Yes, absolutely. This cable is specifically designed for this use case. Unlike standard passive copper HDMI cables, which begin to degrade at 3-5 meters, this Active Optical Cable (AOC) uses fiber optics to transmit the 8K@60Hz signal over its entire length without any loss in quality. It will be indistinguishable from a 1-meter connection.
Q2: What is the difference between this fiber optic cable and a standard, cheaper "High-Speed" HDMI cable? +
There are a few critical differences. First, a standard cable is "passive" and its signal quality degrades over distance, making it unreliable for an 8K signal at 10 meters. Second, this UNITEK cable is "active," meaning it uses a chipset to convert the electrical signal to light, allowing it to travel the full 10 meters without loss or interference from other electronics, which is a common issue with long copper runs. The fiber optic design itself is lightweight and much more flexible, making it easier to install.
Q3: Does the UNITEK 10m fiber optic HDMI cable work with Pakistan's 220V power? +
Yes. The cable draws a very small amount of power from the HDMI ports of the devices it connects, which run on the standard 3.3V or 5V DC from the source. The cable itself has no direct connection to your building's electrical mains, so the 220V supply is not relevant to its operation. It will work perfectly with any compliant HDMI source.
Q4: Is the UNITEK C11085GY01-10M cable bidirectional? How does it affect installation? +
This is a very important question. The UNITEK C11085GY01-10M is directional. One end is clearly labeled "Source" (for your gaming console, PC, or Blu-ray player) and the other is labeled "Display" (for your TV, monitor, or projector). If the cable is plugged in backward, no signal will pass. It's a good practice to clearly label which end is which before pulling the cable through walls or conduits to ensure the labeling remains visible after installation.
