![]() The only real advantage would be space constraints and the need for better flexibility, which active hybrid fiber cables have. If 2m is your total cable length, an active hybrid fiber cable is an overkill for most people. Keep in mind that you are trying to push high resolution video at 40Gbps and greater so your cable connection needs to be as robust and clean as possible. You also want to avoid any sharp, 90º bends as that can cause continuity issues as well. Connecting to a wall plate, for example, "terminates" the connection at that juncture and produces a break in the HDMI cable continuity which may, and eventually will, cause issues. The reason is that active cables need to draw power from the sink end for proper operation. The most reliable connection for an active cable (hybrid fiber) is a single cable, source to sink, with no wall plates, adapters, extenders, etc in-between. ![]() These cables will be able to be replaced, but not the sort of thing I want to concern myself with for at least the next few years!Ī 2m ugreen 48 gbps HDMI cable is £15, so two of these would do the trick if they can indeed handle 48 gbps (or as close as is required)?
