The FSR DR-PCB-H50M+SL HDMI Digital Ribbon Cable (50 Meters) utilizes proprietary technology to allow high speed, high definition HDMI signal transmission over distances of up to 165 ft. Active circuitry embedded in the connector shells provide all the active signal buffering needed and eliminate additional bulky electronics. The cable hybrid polymer/copper structure delivers a speed of 15 Gb/sec video bandwidth and can easily handle up to 4k 60Hz@4:2:2 sampling Full HD, 3D, Deep color, HDMI-CEC, HDCP, and most newer hi-res formats.

With optical-to-electronic conversion contained inside the connectors, this cable uses the same standard HDMI ports as copper cables. The cable requires no bulky external power connectors or extenders, instead of drawing power entirely from the HDMI port without exceeding HDMI maximum power output standards. The small ribbon-shaped jacket is 5mm x 2.5mm and is currently available in six lengths, ranging from 33 to 328 feet. The cable is UL listed, plenum rated and provide optical performance at the price and simplicity of copper.

Optical communications provide immunity to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference and offer high reliability in challenging environments such as outdoor displays, convention centers, stadiums, airports shopping malls, hospitals, factories, and other potentially high noise environments.

The optical component within the ribbon cable bundle is plastic fiber rather than glass and can be installed in areas that require tight cable bends that were prohibitive with a conventional fiber bundle. At the same time, they cost competitive with copper-based alternatives. All cables carry a 3-year warranty excluding damage from abusive wear and tear.
