Datavideo CB-60 HDMI Active Optical Cable 30 meter

Datavideo CB-60 HDMI Active Optical Cable 30 meter – Transmit 4K@60Hz over long runs without external power

The Datavideo CB-60 is an HDMI Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for filmmakers and AV professionals who need reliable, long-distance HDMI transmission. This 30 meter cable uses optical fiber instead of traditional copper conductors to deliver high performance video while keeping power consumption low. It supports 4K@60Hz UltraHD signals and does not require an external power supply.

Why choose an active optical HDMI cable?

• Optical fiber enables longer cable runs, allowing transmission of 4K@60Hz UltraHD images up to 100 meters when using similar AOC technology.
• The CB-60 offers a slimmer profile compared with many copper HDMI cables, making routing and cable management easier.
• Optical construction improves signal quality and helps the cable comply with EMI/EMC requirements, reducing interference in sensitive AV environments.
• Low power consumption keeps the system simple; the cable operates without an external power supply.
• Designed as a cost-conscious option that still provides the advantages of active optical transmission.

Typical use cases

Use the CB-60 wherever you need a high-quality HDMI link over longer distances without bulky copper cabling or repeaters. It suits live production, studio setups, conference rooms, and workshop environments where interference immunity and a compact cable diameter are important.

FAQ

Question: Can this cable carry 4K at 60Hz over long distances?
Answer: Yes. The CB-60 supports 4K@60Hz UltraHD transmission and, as an active optical cable, optical fiber technology allows similar AOC setups to reach up to 100 meters for long-distance links.

Question: Do I need an external power supply for the CB-60?
Answer: No. The cable does not require an external power supply and uses low power during operation, with a listed power consumption of 250mW.

Question: How does this cable compare to traditional copper HDMI cables?
Answer: Compared with traditional copper cables, the CB-60 is longer and slimmer, offers improved signal quality, and meets EMI/EMC compliance standards thanks to its optical construction.

Question: Is the cable flexible enough for tight routing and installation?
Answer: The CB-60 has a relatively small diameter (3.0 x 5.0mm) and a bend radius of 20mm, making it suitable for installations that require tighter routing than many bulkier copper cables.
