8K DisplayPort 2.0 Active Optical Cable — 30
KanexPro CBL-AOCDP8K-30M — DP 2.0 UHBR10 active optical cable, 40Gbps, 8K@60Hz, 30 meters (98 ft.). Plug-and-play, no external power, 3-year warranty.
KanexPro Active Optical DisplayPort 2.0 Cables deliver full, uncompressed 40Gbps UHBR10 signal across runs of 30, 60, or 90 meters — far beyond copper cable limits. Built on a hybrid 4× optical fiber + 8× copper construction, these plug-and-play cables carry 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz, and HDR with zero signal loss, drawing power directly from the DisplayPort source — no wall adapters or repeaters required. Supporting MST daisy-chaining, AMD FreeSync® 2.0, Dolby Vision, HDCP 1.4/2.2, and full EDID management, the CBL-AOCDP8K series is engineered for professional AV environments where EMI immunity and signal integrity are non-negotiable. Backed by KanexPro's 3-year warranty.

Questions
- What bandwidth and resolution does the cable carry?
- DisplayPort 2.0 UHBR10, 10Gbps per lane and 40Gbps total, up to 8K@60Hz (7680x4320) and 4K@144Hz at 48-bit colour.
- How is an optical cable of this length driven?
- Four 850nm multi-mode VCSEL transmitters and four GaAs PIN receivers, over a hybrid of four optical fibres and eight copper conductors, 4.8mm outside diameter.
- Is it HDCP compliant?
- Yes, HDCP 1.4 and 2.2.
- What pixel clock does it support?
- 810 MHz.
- Does the cable need a power supply?
- No. It is bus-powered from the DisplayPort source at 3.3V, using under 0.5W per end.
- How tightly can it be bent, and how hard can it be pulled?
- Minimum bend radius is 48mm and maximum tensile load is 300N. The run is 30 metres (98 ft.).
- The display stays black after the cable is fitted.
- The cable is directional. The end marked for the source must go to the source and the other to the display; reversed, it will not link.
- It works at 4K but not at 8K.
- 8K@60Hz needs the full UHBR10 link. Confirm both the source and the display are DisplayPort 2.0 UHBR10 devices.
- Can it be pulled through conduit?
- Yes, within a 48mm bend radius and 300N tensile load. It is rated 0 to 50 degrees C operating.
- What connectors are on the ends?
- 20-pin DisplayPort male at both ends, directional.
