The Datavideo CB-62 is an HDMI Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed to carry high-resolution video over long distances. It uses optical fiber instead of traditional copper conductors to extend HDMI signal reach while keeping power needs low and costs reasonable.
By replacing copper with optical fiber, the CB-62 enables HDMI signal transmission of 4K@60Hz UltraHD up to 100 meters. As a result, you can place source equipment and displays farther apart without intermediate extenders. The cable uses active components but does not require an external power supply, which simplifies installation. Its internal power consumption is 250mW.
Compared with traditional copper HDMI cables, the CB-62 delivers improved signal quality over longer runs. The optical construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, and the cable meets EMI/EMC compliance requirements. In addition, the optical design allows for a slimmer cable profile while preserving performance.

Question: Can I run 4K video over this cable for long distances?
Answer: Yes. The CB-62 uses optical fiber to transmit 4K@60Hz UltraHD signals up to 100 meters without intermediate extenders.
Question: Do I need an external power supply to use the CB-62?
Answer: No. The cable does not require an external power supply and operates with an internal power consumption of 250 mW.
Question: How does this cable compare to traditional copper HDMI cables?
Answer: The CB-62 is longer and slimmer, offers better long-distance signal quality, and is EMI/EMC compliant thanks to its optical fiber design. These characteristics make it better suited for installations where interference and cable run length are concerns.
Question: What are the installation conditions I should observe?
Answer: Handle the cable within its bend radius (20 mm) and operate within the specified temperature range (0–55 °C). For storage, keep it within -20–80 °C. These measures help maintain performance and longevity.
