Never heard of this, but it’s legit. The heads of the cable have converters built in:
“ Converters are attached to both ends of the HDMI cable. These converters convert the data from the sending device into light and back into a readable signal for the receiving device.”
I want to buy one just to cut it open, because I don’t believe any of this. I have a whole electronic device in my basement to convert fiber optic into something usable by my network.
We use 50’ versions at our office. They are directional, so make sure to use them that way. I had to write on which side was from the device and which side was used at the screen.
I have a 50’ high quality version of this to run 4k/120 HDR from a PC in the upstairs of my house to my OLED in the living room. This one is a POS DO NOT BUY. if you’re only getting 18gbps out of optical you’re wasting your money. Don’t buy optical if you aren’t getting 48gbps.
Can I get a 10’ version?
9.1503e-8 Seconds faster, no?
That makes me wonder how Ethernet and ARC work as advertised by this listing, as both require bidirectional communication.
How are you getting USB for KB/Mouse to the other room?
for controlling his remote PC, he does not need to use a USB run. He could use a wireless keyboard and mouse (2,.4GHz IGM band, about 30 feet) or if farther use VNC from a phone or netbook next to the display.
Can they handle ARC if they’re directional (where audio from another source is piped back from the TV or wherever)?
xbox controller dongle works great as does lgoitech g915 lightspeed dongle. to be clear it’s not 50’ straight line distance(probably 20), but to get to the TV it has to run across a room and down the stairs and then across the room downstairs.
my 50’ does arc fine, but again this one is crap.
