Kramer CRS-PlugNView-H Active Optical Armored 4K HDMI Cable

The CRS-PlugNView-H is the cable you buy after a normal HDMI run has been crushed under a road case. Inside a TPU jacket sits a corrugated stainless steel tube with Kevlar reinforcement wrapped around 50/125u OM3 fiber, giving 2000N (450lbs) of short-term crush resistance and 800N (180lbs) of short-term tensile strength. Connector covers are waterproof and impact resistant, and the whole thing ships on a solid mobile plastic spool.

Electrically it is an active optical cable: 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 at up to 18Gbps over runs to 100m with no external power supply and no separate extender, drawing 0.25W (50mA at 5V) from the source's HDMI connector. HDCP 2.2, HDR-10, HLG, Dolby Vision, deep color, CEC and EDID all pass, and audio covers Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The jacket is LSHF for venues that require it.
