15M USB-C to HDMI active optical cable

This 15-metre active optical cable carries a USB-C video source to an HDMI display. It is built for users who need a long run without signal loss, such as conference-room installs or stage-backdrop screens. The optical construction keeps the cable thin and light for routing through trunking or conduit. It suits installers who want a single-cable link rather than extenders or converters.

Installation notes for the 15M active optical link

The cable is directional: the USB-C plug connects to the source and the HDMI plug to the display, so check orientation before pulling. Because the fibres are fragile, avoid sharp bends, kinks or heavy compression during the pull. No external power adapter is required, but the host USB-C port must supply enough current for the embedded transceiver. Verify port compatibility before routing the cable through walls.

4K 60Hz capacity and headroom limits

The link supports 4K resolution at 60Hz across the full 15-metre length. Bandwidth is fixed by the optical engine, so higher refresh rates or deeper colour formats at 4K are not available. The 15-metre reach is the maximum specified distance; longer runs would need a repeater or a different fibre solution. For 1080p or lower resolutions the same distance limit applies.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 4K at 60Hz after connecting it?

Open the display settings on your source device and confirm the output shows 2160p at 60Hz, then check the monitor's on-screen information to verify it is receiving that signal.

What is included in the box and do I need any extra adapters?

The package contains the 15m USB-C to HDMI active optical cable; no separate power adapter or converter is required because the cable draws power from the USB-C port.

Which version of this cable should I choose for a 15-metre run?

The 146B-USBC-HDMI4K-AOC model is the 15-metre version designed for 4K 60Hz signals over that distance.
