Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable 10 m
Fibre-optic HDMI 2.1 that keeps full 48 Gbps bandwidth over 10 m — for 4K high-refresh and 8K sources far from the screen.
HDMI 2.1 · 48 GbpsUp to 8K (7680 x 4320)10 m · 5.2 mm AOC
The Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK is a 10 m HDMI 2.1 active optical cable (AOC) that carries HDMI signals over optical fibre, for connecting consoles, gaming PCs, 4K/8K media players and AV receivers to TVs and projectors where a passive copper cable would lose bandwidth.
Part number CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK is rated for 48 Gbps and resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 and 5120 x 2880, with HDR, Audio Return Channel and HDMI Ethernet Channel support.
Its thin 5.2 mm, flexible cable is easy to route through trunking and conduits, making it a practical choice for home cinema projectors and meeting-room displays.
Compatibility Note: Active optical cables are unidirectional: connect the end marked Source to the player/PC and the end marked Display to the TV or projector. The cable is powered from the HDMI port, so no external power is needed.
Key Features
Full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth over 10 m
Optical fibre carries the 48 Gbps signal without the loss that limits passive HDMI 2.1 cables to about 5 m.
Thin and flexible
The 5.2 mm cable is much slimmer than a 10 m copper cable, so it fits through wall ducts, trunking and ceiling routes more easily.
HDR and audio return
Supports HDR, ARC and HDMI Ethernet Channel, so soundbars and AV receivers work as they would with a short cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK and a copper HDMI 2.1 cable?
Copper HDMI 2.1 cables keep full 48 Gbps only up to about 5 m. This optical cable carries the same bandwidth over 10 m and is thinner, but it is directional and costs more than a short copper cable.
Is the Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK suitable for a 4K projector in a home cinema?
Yes. The 10 m length covers typical ceiling-projector runs, and the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth handles 4K HDR sources with plenty of headroom. Route the cable before fixing the projector and connect the Display end at the projector.
Does the Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0100-BK come in other lengths?
Yes. The CA-HDMI-30FB-0200-BK is the 20 m version of the same HDMI 2.1 optical design, for larger rooms and halls.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose this AOC when you need HDMI 2.1-class bandwidth beyond the 5 m limit of passive cables — for example a console or gaming PC feeding a projector across the room. If your source is only 1080p, a passive 10 m High Speed cable is cheaper and bidirectional.
✓ Buy it if you need 4K HDR or high-refresh HDMI 2.1 over 10 m with a thin, easy-to-route cable.
✕ Skip it if you need a reversible cable or your signal is only 1080p.
→ Also consider Lanberg CA-HDMI-30FB-0200-BK (20 m) for longer runs, or Club 3D CAC-1375 (5 m passive HDMI 2.1) for shorter ones.
