Real4K™ 18Gbps Optical Adapter Benefits
Real4K™ Optical Adapters are simple "plug and play" dongles that convert electrical HDMI signals to optical signals and back again allowing for a full 18 Gbps HDMI over distances up to 1000 meters (typical). Optical cabling provides the extra bandwidth to enable video content that isn't compressed or color reduced in order to get the signal from the source to the display. In addition, Real4K™ adapters can be upgraded in the field to Real8K™ optical adapters when available.
