UNITEK 10M-30M Fiber Optic HDMI Cable | 4K@60Hz, Active Optical, 18Gbps
UNITEK C11092ASL-10M: Long‑Distance 4K HDMI with Active Optical Technology
Installing a display far from your source – a ceiling projector, a wall‑mounted TV, or a large conference screen – demands a cable that can carry a 4K signal without degradation. The UNITEK C11092ASL-10M is a 10‑metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) that solves this challenge by using fibre optics instead of copper for the high‑speed data lanes.
True 4K@60Hz Performance
The cable supports 4K Ultra HD resolution at 60Hz with a full 18Gbps bandwidth, fully compliant with the HDMI 2.0 specification. Enjoy crisp, detailed images, vibrant HDR (High Dynamic Range) content, and smooth motion for movies, sports, and gaming. It also supports HDCP 2.2 for seamless playback of protected 4K content from streaming services and Blu‑ray players.
Zero Signal Loss Over 10 Metres
Passive copper HDMI cables suffer from attenuation over long runs, leading to sparkles, black screens, or a drop to lower resolutions. The UNITEK fibre optic cable transmits data using light, which does not degrade over distance. You get the same flawless 4K picture at 10 metres as you would with a 1‑metre cable.
Immune to Interference (EMI/RFI)
Because the high‑speed signal travels through non‑conductive optical fibre, the cable is completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio‑frequency interference (RFI). This means you can safely run it alongside power cords, electrical conduits, and other signal cables without worrying about picture noise, dropouts, or sync issues – a must for clean professional installations.
Lightweight, Slim & Easy to Install
The cable is much thinner and lighter than traditional shielded copper HDMI cables. Its low‑profile, flexible design allows easy pulling through conduits, cable trays, ceiling voids, and wall channels. It reduces strain on HDMI ports and can bend around corners without damage. The gold‑plated connectors ensure a secure, corrosion‑free connection.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use this 10‑metre HDMI cable with my 4K projector at home? +
Yes, absolutely. The UNITEK C11092ASL-10M is specifically designed for such installations. It will deliver a flawless 4K@60Hz HDR picture from your AV receiver or media player to a projector or TV up to 10 metres away, with zero signal loss.
Q2: What is the difference between this fiber optic cable and a standard copper HDMI cable of the same length? +
Standard passive copper HDMI cables begin to degrade at 5–10 metres, often failing to carry a stable 4K signal. This UNITEK cable uses active optical technology, converting the electrical signal to light, travelling the full 10 metres without loss, and converting back. It is also immune to electrical interference, whereas long copper cables act like antennas and pick up noise.
Q3: Does this cable support eARC or 8K? +
No. This is an 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 cable, supporting 4K@60Hz and standard ARC (Audio Return Channel). For eARC or 8K@60Hz, you would need a 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 active optical cable (e.g., UNITEK C11085 series). For 4K home theatre and most commercial AV, this cable is an excellent choice.
Q4: Is the cable directional? What happens if I plug it in backwards? +
Yes, it is directional. The connector marked ”Source” must go to the source device (e.g., PS5, PC). The end marked ”Display” goes to the TV or projector. If reversed, no signal will pass. Always check the labels before pulling the cable through walls.
