Key Digital Releases Plenum Rated HDMI Cables
Plenum rated active optical HDMI fiber cables enable long-distance HDMI signal extension with no power device required Mount Vernon, NY – December 4, 2019 – Key Digital,
the leaders in digital video and control systems, presents their new line of
plenum active optical HDMI fiber cables available in lengths from 10 m / 33ft
to 100 m / 328 ft. “We are extremely excited to unveil our first ever
plenum-rated HDMI cables,” said Jonathon Ferry, National Training Manager for
Key Digital. “This release is representative of Key Digital’s growth in
commercial new-construction audio visual projects. The flame retardant and low
smoke characteristic cables are UL approved for installation in plenum spaces.
These features and certifications go hand-in-hand with the plenum AOCH cable
series, which allow AV integrators to extend HDMI 4K/18G signals at an
unprecedented length up to 328 feet or 100 meters.” This active optical copper hybrid cable series offers the
latest in 4K resolutions with Ultra HD/4K support up to 4096x2160 or 3840x2160
50/60Hz at 4:4:4 with 18 Gbps bandwidth high speed performance for the latest
HDMI video specifications. Key Digital Plenum Active Optical HDMI Fiber cables
are directional with each head containing specific handling for optimal performance. The Key Digital Plenum Active Optical HDMI Fiber cables
include KD-AOCH33P, KD-AOCH49P, KD-AOCH66P, KD-AOCH98P, KD-AOCH131P, KD-AOCH164P, and KD-AOCH328P Unlike traditional copper HDMI cabling, the Key Digital
active optical copper hybrid cables deliver full 4K/18Gbps signals at greater
distances. The signal of the video and audio layer is not subjected to
typical signal degradation due to sending the TMDS channel, the heaviest
portion of HDMI signals, over optics. A minimal amount of copper wiring is
included inside the cables to carry power and essential EDID handshaking
information, HDCP authentication, and more. With 28 AWG measurement, Key Digital Plenum Active Optical
HDMI Fiber cables are thin, flexible, and support a tighter bend radius than
traditional HDMI. Key Digital’s Plenum Active Optical HDMI Fiber cables are
HDCP 2.2 compliant and backward compatible with previous HDCP versions. These cables have been designed using Open Eye Technology
and each is tested for noise-free performance. Key Digital Plenum Active
Optical HDMI Fiber cable series has deep color support up to 4K 24/25/30Hz
4:4:4/12 bits or 50/60Hz 4:2:0/12 bit as well as HDR10 (High Dynamic Range)
delivering life-like images through the use of a greater range of luminance
levels.
Key Digital Plenum Active Optical HDMI Fiber cables
supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), allowing audio to be returned from the
display back to the HDMI source for amplification and display. Support for
digital audio formats includes Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
Atmos and DTS-HD Master Audio. The Ethernet channel on the cables supports up
to 100 Mb/s of Ethernet speeds between two HDMI connected devices.
