GIVEAWAY TIME: Win a FIBBR Ultra 8K II AOC Ultra High-Speed Fiber Optic HDMI Cable, MSRP: $1,799!

full?d=1683293773.png

(May 5, 2023) To kick off our new review series, HDMI TEST BENCH, the kind folks at FIBBR Tech have given us a new – unopened – 10M (33FT) Ultra 8K II AOC Ultra High-Speed Fiber Optic HDMI Cable to giveaway! This is an extremely high value item, with a current retail price of $1,799.

FIBBR's Ultra 8K Ⅱ Certified 8K HDMI fiber optic cable is designed to support Ultra High Speed demands with bandwidth capabilities up to 56Gbps. That, says FIBBR, is nearly 17% higher than the 8K HDMI protocol standard specification. It offers 14Gbps per channel for an overwhelming amount of future-proofing!

AV NIRVANA has a separate review sample that will be the first cable to land on the HDMI TEST BENCH, next week. If you missed our first TEST BENCH review featuring an 8K Wireless HDMI Kit, you can watch it by clicking here.

When you're testing this cable, can you measure the actual power draw?
Hmm… good question. The 2.1a spec allows for up to 300mA.

Any particular reason you’re asking?

The mere existence of those HDMI <>USB power injector plugs should be reason enough to measure the actual power draw.

On top of that, I have replaced an older fiber optic HDMI cable because it appeared to be incompatible with my new AVP, possibly due to its power draw, but I haven't measured that.

Ah, so you're wondering how much of the 5A circuit is used when this cable is plugged in?

The equipment that I have on hand doesn't measure that... but I might be able to rig something with a multimeter to measure that. Let me think about it...

Of the 300mA circuit, yes.

I suspect that inserting a multimeter into the power supply line of something like this power injector below might be the easiest way.
Even more so if you have a USB power meter.

From everything I read fiber optic HDMI is the way to go for longer runs.

This cable is handmade, is rated to 56 Gbps, and has FIBBR's proprietary top-shelf chip onboard. I'm far from an expert on cable manufacturing, but a friend of mine that's in the industry has told me the price point isn't outrageous. I agree that the dollar value is shocking –

Oh, ok, they make (or at least design) their own chips. That could explain it. I'm not familiar with HDMI over optical, so I can't tell whether this is a unique product or not. I wrongly assumed it was an existing standard and the transmitters/receivers were already in the sending and receiving hardware. They are in this cable.
