QED Performance active optical HDMI 40m

QED has long been the benchmark for high-performance HDMI cables. But standing still inevitably means falling behind, so QED’s engineers have applied their unwavering excellence to developing an HDMI cable that exceeds today’s requirements and is ready to handle every HDMI standard to come. A cable that works flawlessly, even over improbable lengths. A cable that can be installed and concealed with absolute confidence in its longevity and continued performance.

The result of this application of engineering prowess is the revolutionary, incredibly high-performing Active Optical HDMI cable. As the name suggests, it’s a hybrid arrangement that combines a copper core and optical fiber to create a cable that resists data degradation even over extremely long lengths - and doesn’t require external power to do so. It’s a cable capable of handling all current and future HDMI standards, including 48Gbps 8K at 60Hz, Dolby Atmos object-based audio, HDR, and next-gen gaming console technologies. It’s a cable that can be safely installed and concealed knowing that its durability and compliance with stringent UK and EU fire reaction regulations mean it will perform flawlessly for years to come.

QED’s five decades of technological expertise, its deep understanding of consumer and installer requirements and expectations, and its total commitment to developing the most future-proof HDMI cable possible, combine to deliver an Active Optical HDMI cable. Able to cope with the extraordinarily complex demands of HDMI cabling today, and with more than enough headroom to handle those changing standards into the future, the Active Optical HDMI cable showcases QED’s brilliantly innovative engineering and its uncompromising elaboration in the details - plus, of course, it completely redefines what the consumer and installer can demand from their audio/video connectivity.

Focused thinking and painstaking development, leading to unrivaled signal integrity, leading to unmatched performance and longevity. This has been QED’s modus operandi throughout its existence - and the Active Optical HDMI cable is the latest demonstration of its unparalleled mastery of design and manufacture.
