About This Item

Like the well-proven Cherry Cola 18, Root Beer 18 is an active optical cable that provides outstanding audio/video performance at distances up to 100ft (30m). Optical Fiber eliminates multiple forms of degradation over distance; powered by the HDMI port, no AC adaptor is required. Further, Optical Fibers provide total RF immunity and galvanic isolation for the audio/video signal—important advantages in the fight against radio-frequency noise. As with Toslink and other optical cables, optical fibers do not pick up or transmit induced RF-Noise.

Q: If this is a 4k-8k cable, wouldn't the rating be 48Gbps? 4k is rated at 18Gbps and 8k is 48Gbps, so I'm just confused as to why it's only rated for 4k, just curious.

Q: How thick is the cable and how flexible is it?

A: A bit thicker than the ordinary thin cables., Quite flexible.
