Bulgin AO Series Active Optical HDMI Connectors
Bulgin AO Series Active Optical HDMI Connectors are HDMI 2.1 cable assemblies designed to support long-distance, high-bandwidth video transmission. The series combines OM3 optical fiber and copper conductors in a hybrid cable architecture, enabling 48Gbps data transfer and supporting resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz. Available configurations include HDMI Type A-to-Type A, Type A-to-Type D, and Type D-to-Type D. The detachable connector variants expose HDMI Type D (Micro HDMI) interfaces for installations where a smaller connector size is beneficial. These versions include a connector removal tool, an auxiliary USB power cable, and a protective case for the Type D connector. The AO Series is offered with either standard PVC-jacketed cables or armored TPU-jacketed cables for added mechanical protection.
The AO Series is offered with either standard PVC-jacketed cables or armored TPU-jacketed cables for added mechanical protection. Armored versions provide crush resistance of up to 200kg for less than 30 seconds and 100kg for less than 48 hours while maintaining support for HDMI 2.1 operation. Bulgin AO Series Active Optical HDMI Connectors are available in cable lengths from 5m to 30m, making them suitable for high-resolution display connectivity across extended installation distances.
