What is the PeopleLink HDMI 2.0 AOC Cable?

It is a 4K UHD Active Optical HDMI Cable that uses optical fibre between the connectors while accepting the same electrical inputs as a standard HDMI cable. It supports 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 with 18Gbps bandwidth, HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2, and HEC, CEC, EDID, HDR, ARC and 3D. It is built for Long AV Runs where a passive copper cable would lose signal.

How long can the HDMI AOC Cable run for a Large Room?

The maximum length is up to 100m, and custom lengths are available. Because the cable is Active Optical, 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 and 18Gbps bandwidth hold across the full run rather than dropping off with distance. Measure the real path through walls and ceiling voids, not the straight line across the room.

Does it need external power?

No. The cable requires no external power supply, so there is no injector or adapter to hide at either end of the run. It is Plenum and CPR certified, which matters where cable passes through air handling spaces in an office or campus building.

What length should I order for my room, and will it carry 4K to my display?

The cable runs up to 100m, with custom lengths available, and carries 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 with 18Gbps bandwidth, HDCP 1.4 and 2.2, and HEC, CEC, EDID, HDR, ARC and 3D over the full length. Measure the actual cable path through walls and ceilings rather than the straight-line distance. Share your run lengths and source and display models with a PeopleLink specialist for a cable recommendation.

Who installs and supports the cable?

Installation, service and support are delivered through PeopleLink Partners and Resellers in your region, with PeopleLink AV Specialists supporting them on sizing and integration. A partner can pull and terminate the run during the room build so the cable is in place before the display is hung.

HDMI AOC Cable for a Campus or Multi-Building Rollout: how should it be specified?

Order one custom length per run rather than joining shorter cables, since a single Active Optical run up to 100m keeps 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 intact end to end. Plenum and CPR certification lets the same part be used in air handling spaces across buildings, which keeps the specification consistent for the estates team. Send a schedule of rooms and run lengths to get a per-room cable list.

Overview

What an HDMI AOC Cable does on a Long AV Run

The PeopleLink HDMI 2.0 AOC Cable is a 4K UHD Active Optical Cable for Long AV Runs in Boardrooms, Auditoriums and Control Rooms. It carries 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 with 18Gbps bandwidth over lengths up to 100m, and custom lengths are available. HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 are supported along with HEC, CEC, EDID, HDR, ARC and 3D, and the cable is highly resistant to EMI and RFI. It needs no external power supply and is Plenum and CPR certified, so it can be pulled through ceiling voids on the way to a PeopleLink Display. Specifying the cable with the room equipment removes the guesswork about what a display will accept.

PeopleLink active optical cables use optical fiber between the connectors while accepting the same electrical inputs as a conventional HDMI extender. Electrical-to-optical conversion at the cable ends boosts speed and range without compromising compatibility with standard electrical connectors, making the cable well suited to data center and high-performance AV applications.

Where an AOC Cable Fits in Your Organisation

How organisations deploy an AOC Cable, and what changes for the teams that use it

Education

Auditorium Feed for a University

A university's auditorium keeps its AV rack in a control booth at the back of the hall, a long way from the PeopleLink display at the front. A single HDMI 2.0 AOC Cable, cut to a custom length within the 100m maximum, carries the 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4 signal over optical fibre with 18Gbps bandwidth. It needs no external power at either end, and its resistance to EMI and RFI keeps the picture stable alongside lighting and power runs. Lectures get a clean 4K feed from booth to stage.

Enterprise

Boardroom Cabling for a Bank

A bank's boardroom has a PeopleLink display on an ultra-thin wall mount and its sources in a credenza across the room. The installer routes the HDMI 2.0 AOC Cable through the ceiling void and wall, where its slim optical construction is easier to conceal than thick copper. HDCP 2.2 support means protected content from the room PC plays without handshake issues, and CEC and ARC pass through for control and audio return. Directors see a sharp 4K picture with no visible cabling.

Public Sector

Control Room Runs for a Public Utility

A public utility's control room drives several always-on PeopleLink displays from a server room on another floor. Each display gets its own HDMI 2.0 AOC Cable run, pulled through plenum spaces, delivering 4K at 60Hz with the EDID and HDR support that the monitoring software expects. Because the cable is active optical, the operators see consistent transmission on long runs where passive copper would fall short. The utility standardises on one cable type for every long display run on the site.
