What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the FSR DR-H2.1 as a premium, mission-critical solution for demanding HDMI 2.1 needs. The core theme is exceptional reliability and performance, especially for integrators needing guaranteed 48Gbps transmission over 15 meters for 8K or high frame rate 4K signals.

Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is Plenum Rated (CMP/FT6), meaning it meets the strict safety standards required for installation in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors.
Yes, it is fully HDMI 2.1 compliant and supports eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), allowing for high-quality, uncompressed audio transmission between your display and sound system.
No, the cable draws the minimal power it needs (0.25 Watts) directly from the HDMI source and display devices, so no external power adapters are required.
Yes, the cable features a slim 0.2-inch diameter profile, making it easy to pull through 1-inch conduits during professional installations.
Yes, because this is an active cable, the connectors are clearly labeled 'Source' and 'Display.' You must connect the 'Source' end to your playback device and the 'Display' end to your monitor or TV for the signal to work correctly.
While it is durable, it has a minimum bend radius of 0.5 inches. You should avoid sharp kinks or extreme bending to ensure the internal fiber optics remain intact.
