These Bridgee branded HDMI 2.1 cables are active cables - meaning you have to plug the specified ends into the input and outputs

They work at distances of at least 10m 4K @ 120hz - unlike 90% of HDMI 2.1 cables - certified or not

For distances over 10 feet you pretty much have to go active if you want 8K or 4K @ 120hz….

5m is $41.65 on a lightning deal, but you can also use the 20% coupon in the listing to bring it down to less than $33 which is a bargain for such a long length HDMI 2.1 cable that actually works

7.5m is $42 but thats standard pricing (after 20% coupon). No lightning deal on that one.

The 10m was also on sale @ $35 but sold out super fast.

    Good to hear. I tried 20+ 5m cables of other brands before getting the Bridgee. NONE of the others worked 4K@120hz over 5m - they were all passive.

    That includes Ozbargain fanboi favourites like Monoprice

  Im been looking for a Fiber HDMI for the past few days. Loads of options but not too many with decent reviews and high sales.

  This one has a bunch of negative reviews regarding the cable not being 2.1 and not sending a 120hz 4k signal. Also only 133 sold..

  Its Amazon though so you could always send it back if it doesnt work..

    I own these and use them 4k@120hz

    They work and plenty of other "certified" cables don't…

    These are also some of the cheapest active cables you can buy. Some are 5x more expensive.

  These are fiber cables, not active cables. Active cables are copper with Eletronic chips that boost the signal. Fiber cables use optic fiber which doesn't degrade the signal as quickly over long distances.

  No argument that these are one of the cheapest on amazon, if not the cheapest. Others I was looking at were $20 or so more expensive, but with sales in the thousands, and with better average reviews. So there are defiantly other options out there.

  Yours maybe fine but I've had multiple cases where one users purchase hasn't been the same as another's. Especially when there are multiple options (cable length in this case).

  As i said, amazons return policy is great so if these don't work for any reason there's no issues with returning them.

  I'm just always wary about low sale items that have negative reviews. I might grab one and give it a go.

    If these aren't active, why would they put a source and output label on each end?

      "Fibre HDMI cables have a converter in each termination of the cable, this also lends to the one directional nature of the fibre optic cable, one end is designated for the source with the other end designated for the input device or display."

        This is precisely why it's an Active cable.

        Active means there's chip(s) in the cable - it doesn't just pass the signal through dumb wire.

    These are fiber cables, not active cables.

    Fiber HDMI cables are all active cables - they need to have an active chip at each end to encode and decode the electrical signal to/from light.

    Active cables are copper with Eletronic chips that boost the signal.

    Fiber cables also need electronic chips.

    It's an Active cable.

  Thanks for the clarification Nom, makes perfect sense now.
