Features

HDMI Cable Helps Your Gaming, Home Theater or Digital Signage Setup Get 8K-Ready
This HDMI cable (M/M) securely connects laptops, tablets, PCs, Blu-ray players, game consoles or satellite/cable TV boxes to HDTVs, HD monitors, projectors or home theater receivers. Because the cable uses optical fiber, it can transmit HDMI signals longer distances with no latency or loss.

Enjoy the Clarity of 8K Video with 7.1-Channel Surround Sound and 4:4:4 Color
The P568FMM-20M-8K6 supports UHD 8K video resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color, Dolby 7.1-channel surround sound and bandwidth up to 48 Gbps. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), providing a wide range of vibrant colors with richer contrast, brighter whites and deeper blacks that pop on your 4K display. HDCP 2.2 encryption allows you to stream 4K content with no complications. This cable also supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your HDTV as a PC monitor.

Take Advantage of the Most Advanced HDMI Features for Premier Picture Quality
This 8K-ready cable allows your compatible hardware to deliver up-to-date HDMI features, such as eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), which passes full-resolution surround sound signals to your speakers without compressing them. QMS (Quick Media Switching) switches from one frame rate to another without the delay of a blank screen between them. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) reduce latency, refresh rate and lag for a more vivid gaming experience.

Advanced Fiber Cable Is Easier to Install than Copper
Because the fiber cable is slimmer and more flexible than standard copper HDMI cables, the P568FMM-20M-8K6 is easier to install around corners and in hard-to-reach spaces behind equipment. Detachable HDMI (Type A) to Micro-HDMI (Type D) adapters on each end help you pull the cable through one-inch conduit (drill smaller holes if routing cable through walls or surfaces). Note: The cable must be installed in the correct direction to function properly, so please check the Source and Display labels on the connectors before installation.

Invest in Quality Construction for Reliable Performance
You’re expecting this 8K cable to last a long time, which is why it has been constructed with high-quality materials. Contacts are gold-plated to resist corrosion. Double shielding reduces line noise (EMI/RFI) that can interfere with your audio/video signal and disrupt the performance of your connected equipment. The cable draws power from the connected device, so no external power supply is needed to transmit the HDMI signal across the longer distances unique to fiber optic cabling.

System Requirements

  • Both source and display devices must be compatible with HDMI 2.1 standards to access HDMI 2.1 features
  • Both source and display devices must be compatible with 8K standards to watch 8K video
