Know before you buy
No, this is a dedicated fiber optic cable designed specifically to work with Kramer’s detachable optical transmitters and receivers. It is not intended to plug directly into standard HDMI or DVI ports on monitors or computers.
The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating indicates that the cable jacket is fire-resistant and suitable for installation in vertical riser spaces, such as between floors in a building.
The four color-coded sub-cables are designed to carry the high-bandwidth signals required for DVI and HDMI transmission. Using four separate lines ensures the signal integrity needed for high-resolution video, such as 4K at 60Hz.
While the cable is rated for an impressive operating temperature range of -40° to 80°C, it is primarily intended for professional indoor AV installations. Ensure the cable is protected from direct moisture and physical damage if used in non-standard environments.
The cable includes protective dust caps on the LC connectors, which should remain in place until you are ready to plug them into your equipment. This prevents dust and debris from interfering with the optical signal.
