TLD Electronic, a China manufacturer, offers Active Optical HDMI Type-A to Type-D Cable with Type-A male to Type-D male connectors, hybrid fiber + copper, 4K@60Hz, HDR and lengths up to 100m. The compact Type-D end fits narrow conduit; fiber resists EMI/RFI. HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 versions for AV and OEM orders.
The Active Optical HDMI Type-A to Type-D Cable from TLD Electronic is designed for audiovisual equipment requiring a full-size HDMI source and Micro HDMI display connection. It uses optical fiber for high-speed data and copper conductors for power and auxiliary signals. Available in HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps) and HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps) versions, it supports 4K@60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDR. Its fiber construction is immune to EMI/RFI, making it suitable for high-interference environments such as data centers, medical facilities, and broadcast studios. The Type-D connector fits through narrow conduit, wall plates, and tight spaces; some models include a detachable Type-A adapter. No external power is normally required—the cable draws power from the HDMI source's 5V output.

Key Features & Benefits
1. HDMI Type-A to Type-D Connection
Full-size HDMI Type-A male at the source end; Micro HDMI Type-D male at the display end. Connects compatible PCs, media players, cameras, set-top boxes, monitors and projectors.
2. Long-Distance 4K@60Hz Transmission
Active optical hybrid design supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 over 30m, 50m and 100m lengths. Fiber carries high-speed data; copper carries power and auxiliary signals.
3. Micro HDMI for Narrow Conduit
The Type-D connector passes through narrow cable conduits, wall plates and tight spaces. Some models include a detachable Type-A adapter at the display end.
4. EMI/RFI Resistance
Fiber transmission is not affected by electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference. Suitable near motors, wireless transmitters, medical equipment and lighting systems.
5. Thin and Flexible Hybrid Cable
Hybrid fiber + copper construction has a smaller diameter than passive copper HDMI. It bends around corners and fits through cable trays.
6. HDR, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.2/2.3
Supports HDR, Dolby Vision and HDCP 2.2/2.3 when source and display devices are compatible.
7. No External Power Required
Draws power from the HDMI source 5V output, typically under 250mW. Some long-run models include an optional USB power input.
8. Optional LSZH and Armored Jackets
LSZH jacket option for healthcare and public spaces. Armored jacket option for high-traffic or outdoor installations.
Application Scenarios
Conference Rooms & Collaboration Spaces
Wall-mounted displays often have limited clearance. The Micro HDMI connector provides a low-profile connection, while AOC carries 4K@60Hz from a source PC 30–50m away.
Digital Signage & Retail Displays
Displays are often far from media players. The compact Type-D connector fits narrow cable management channels. Fiber transmission is not affected by Wi-Fi access points, escalators or security systems. Armored jacket options are available.
Healthcare & Medical Imaging
Operating rooms and diagnostic suites use tight cable routing and sensitive equipment. The Micro HDMI connector reduces cable footprint. LSZH jacket option adds safety for healthcare environments.
Broadcast & Live Event Production
Cameras and production switchers are often far apart, with cables running through racks and ducts. The slim Type-D connector simplifies routing. Fiber transmission is not affected by lighting systems or wireless microphones.
Technical Construction & Installation Notes
Directional Cable
The source end must connect to the HDMI source device. The display end connects to the monitor or projector. Backward connection will not work.
Type-D Through-Wall Installation
The Micro HDMI connector is designed to pass through narrow conduit. Use this during rough-in installation, then attach the detachable Type-A adapter at the display end if included.
Compatibility Check
Confirm your source and display devices support HDCP 2.2/2.3 and the resolution/refresh rate you intend to use.
Power
No external power is normally required. The cable draws power from the HDMI source 5V output, typically under 250mW. Some long-run models include an optional USB power input.
