Description:
This 50-foot optical HDMI cable from Cratree delivers long-reach connectivity for home theaters, gaming setups, and projector installations while supporting high-bandwidth video and audio over a thin in-wall rated profile. It is built to carry up to 48 Gbps for 8K 60 Hz and 4K 120 Hz signals, helping maintain image clarity across long distances without active repeaters.
Key Points
This cable supports 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz, with compatibility down to older HDMI versions according to the manufacturer. It includes HDR10 support along with static and dynamic HDR formats, plus features such as VRR and Quick Media Switching for smoother motion and fewer screen blackouts. The connector housings use aluminum alloy and 24K gold plating to resist corrosion and improve contact reliability. Consider that optical HDMI is designed for long runs and may feel less flexible than short copper cables when routing around very tight corners.

Advantages
The fiber optical core reduces signal attenuation over long distances so you can place a source and display far apart while keeping high-resolution output. Multiple internal shielding layers and quality driver chips are claimed to minimize interference and preserve signal integrity. For gamers and media enthusiasts, faster frame transmission and reduced latency help keep action smooth and audio synchronized during fast scenes.
Usage Recommendations
Run the 50 ft cable through wall cavities or along baseboards using standard in-wall routing practices since it has CL2 fire-grade protection for such installations. Avoid tight bends that could stress the fiber core. The cable is plug and play and is downward compatible with HDMI 2.0 and earlier versions, so it can connect to a variety of HDTVs, monitors, projectors, and consoles like PS5 and Xbox systems without additional adapters.
