RUIPRO 8K HDMI 2.1 Fibre Optic Cable, 48Gbps, 8K60, 4K120, HDR, eARC, 5 m

​If you’ve tried running a standard copper HDMI cable over 5 metres for a PS5, Xbox Series X, or an RTX 40-series PC, you know the nightmare: signal dropouts, "sparkles" on the screen, or the dreaded "No Signal" message. After wasting money on "Premium" copper cables that couldn't handle the 48Gbps bandwidth, I bit the bullet on this RUIPRO Fiber Optic 15m version. It is worth every penny. ​Performance: The 48Gbps Acid Test ​I ran this from a PC in my office through the ceiling to an LG OLED in the lounge. ​The Results: It handles 4K@120Hz with HDR10+ and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) perfectly. I’ve had zero flickering or black screens, which is common with cheaper cables at this length. ​eARC Support: Plugged into my Sonos ARC, it passes Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) without any sync issues or lag. ​Latency: Since it uses light (Fiber) rather than electricity (Copper) for the data, there is effectively zero lag. For competitive gaming, it feels identical to a 1m cable. ​Build & Installation (Crucial Note!) ​The cable is surprisingly thin and flexible—much easier to snake through conduit than the thick, stiff "braided" copper cables. ​⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a directional cable. One end is marked "Source" (goes into your PC/Console) and the other is marked "Display" (goes into your TV/Projector). If you pull 15 metres of cable through a wall backwards, it will not work. Check the labels twice! ​Why Fiber? ​At 15 metres, copper cables suffer from massive signal degradation. Fiber optic converts the electrical signal to light, meaning you get the exact same bit-perfect quality at 15m as you would at 1m. It’s also immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), so you can run it near power cables without getting screen noise. ​Final Verdict ​Pros: Guaranteed 48Gbps at long lengths; incredibly thin and easy to hide; full support for HDMI 2.1 features (VRR, ALLM, eARC). ​Cons: Expensive compared to copper; directional (don't plug it in backwards!). ​It’s an "install and forget" bit of kit. If you are setting up a high-end home theatre or a long-distance gaming rig, don't risk a cheaper cable

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this HDMI cable. After using it for over three years, I can confidently say it has outperformed every other HDMI cable I've tried in the past. First and foremost, the durability of this cable is truly impressive. While many of my previous cables started to fail after just 12 to 18 months of regular use, this one has held up remarkably well without any signs of wear or degradation. The picture and sound quality remain pristine, with no interruptions or signal loss. Additionally, the build quality is top-notch. The connectors fit snugly into both my TV and devices, ensuring a secure connection. I appreciate the attention to detail in its design, which seems to prioritize longevity and performance. Overall, if you're in the market for a reliable HDMI cable that stands the test of time, I wholeheartedly recommend this one. It has exceeded my expectations and has become my go-to choice for all my HDMI needs!

I purchased this cable having considered cables costing a lot more money, I wanted to offer the best picture quality from my Oppo UDP-205 Blu ray player connected to my new LG C3 series OLED, I already had the player connected with a 1 MTR Wireworld Sphere cable to my Sennheiser Ambio sound bar then with a 2mtr Wireworld sphere cable to the OLED, as the Oppo supports 2 HDMI outputs, one fir just Audio and the other being the main for Audio and Video I wanted to separate the signals to eliminate any possibility of crosstalk, connecting the Oppo with the Wireworld cable on the Audio out to the Soundbar and using the Ruipro cable directly to the OLED. I first used the Wireworld cable directly to the OLED to evaluate the picture quality direct, then changed out to the Ruipro cable, I could immediately notice more / better contrast being able to see further into darker scenes, and with brighter scenes looking less blown out thereby rendering more detail, the colours also looked richer and more saturated without affecting skin tones, I couldn’t notice any difference in sharpness but the Wireworld cable was not lacking in the sharpness department. To sum up this cable was a gamble as I would normally spend a lot of money on cables, I was considering the Chord company fiber HDMI cable costing £250 but though this was worth the gamble, from the videos I have watched recommending this cable which cost just £53 in a 2mtr length that I needed, it is actually half the price of the Wireworld copper cable that I currently have and at half the price it has comfortably outperformed the Wireworld cable, to be clear the Wireworld cable is also an HDMI 2.1 specification cable so we are comparing Apples for Apples, the gamble certainly paid off, I have seen videos where people believe it is expensive but for the performance on offer I think this is the best value performance HDMI cable on the market today, amazing cable that I would have no problem recommending to anyone wanting to extract the best from high end equipment.

This cable does something strange, in a good way. I don't know how or why, but this cable helped my VRR flicker a lot. Without getting too technical, my S95D TV is very, very prone to VRR flicker with my PC (RTX 5090/9800x3D). Now, some TVs are worse than others, and there are things you can do to lessen how much it happens, but not on this TV. It did not matter how locked my FPS was/frametime; you could just look at a dark floor, and it would still flicker around 20 times per minute. I tried all the normal things to help, and I tried a whole list of cables. Cheap to very expensive, copper and fibre, but nothing changed. Then I remembered about someone saying this cable helped with VRR flicker.....and I thought "Nope, what a load of....." Months later, I got one and tried it, and I was a bit shocked to find it reduced flicker by 50-80% at times. I still get VRR flicker when the fps fluctuates, and in menus, but now if a game can stay locked at 140fps (my cap with a 5090 4k), it hardly flickers at all, whereas in the past, locked or not, it flickered. As I said, it's not a miracle cure, it's an OLED issue that is ok to bad depending on the TV, but as long as I cap keep the locked fps, it's fixed my issue. I have no idea why this cable has done what it's done. There should be no real reason vs the others I have tried as to why it makes such a difference on my TV, but it does. For S95D owners, as a heads-up, there is a new update due later this year that supposedly helps with VRR flicker.

Does not work at all

Don't bother with copper HDMI cables over distances of more than a few metres, go straight for fibre-optic if you want to avoid sadness and wasting money. This 15m cable gives me flawless, crystal-clear 4K60 video, sound and fast data from PC to TV (which is how my system is set up). Nice, high-quality production, conveniently labelled so you don't connect it up the wrong way around, and comes in a very nice hard card box with quality packaging.

Pro's: it does the job. Colour pop's. Wide compatibility. Signal is good. Speed is on par with most 48GB hdmi cables. Durability seems good so far. Cons: the source hdmi connector end is a bit too long as it does not fully go in the hdmi port. To clarify yes it plugs in and works but not flush with the port. The cable is very flexable but maybe a bit too much. Verdict: better than over priced Monster hdmi cables but could still be cheaper for the 3M length for example £28. You will notice a bit better picture but audio is in my opinion where this cable shines.

After doing a lot of research, I've decided to buy this cable to connect my laptop to the TV for gaming. My laptop is a Zephyrus G14 2023 with an RTX 4090, while my TV is a Philips OLED 910 65''. I was worried that the connection might not be stable over 3 meters, at 144Hz refresh rate + HDR + 4K, so I went for a fiber optic cable. I've been using the cable for 3 months and so far everything has been working well. I never had any issue with frame rate or HDR or audio. Everything works as expected. The cable is connected directly from the laptop to the TV without any additional adapters, then I use a wireless controller to game. I had tried to use a Cable Matters angled HDMI adapted on the TV side to see if it was easier to connect the cable, but I wasn't getting the expected frame rate on the TV, as the HDMI had started operating at a lower bandwidth. In the end, I didn't need the adapter and I was able to connect the RUIPRO cable directly to the TV without issues. This Philips TV has a tight space on the back for the HDMI cables, but this RUIPRO isn't as stiff and thick as other non-fiber HDMI cables, so I could connect it directly without adapters.

Es muy bueno se ve muy claro lo tengo conectado a mi Sony ubp x700 ambos pura calidad 🧐👌

Super HDMI-Kabel, jetzt funktioniert der Ton bei meiner Soundbar wieder richtig klasse, alle Daumen hoch 👍🏼👍🏼

Ottimo prodotto da solo ti da dai 20 ai 30 fps in più

When I started using Ruipro, they were new to me and so I wanted to give it some time to try them out before writing a review, plus I didn't have time until now. it has been more then a year now I think since I started using Ruipro but it feels more like 2 years but my cables are still working beautifully. Now Ruipro is all I use for my HDMI cables. normally by now I would have had to replace the cable at least twice if it was a regular copper cable because one of the ends would start falling apart. Ruipro uses metal casings for the ends and strain reliefs to prevent this. I've even started using Ruipro in my office now and as soon as I can afford another cable I'm going to upgrade my main display HDMI cable to Ruipro as well. Ty for being such an awesome seller with awesome great quality products that last Ruipro. They may be really expensive but they're worth it especially if you have to replace a regular copper cable at least twice a year when you spend $40-50 on just a regular copper cable-- it just made sense to me to buy Ruipro and avoid that unnecessary expense so now all my cables at home are Ruipro and when I have to replace a copper cable I replace that with Ruipro too. Their warranty is also phenomenal as I thought one of my cables went bad so I messaged Ruipro whom deemed it a possible defective cable and had a new cable in my hands the next day after proof without even making me pay for shipping which surprised and impressed me. I'm not easily impressed. I have been doing business with Ruipro ever since. Ruipro asked me to write this review some time ago but I got really busy and only now have the time to write such a review. anyway, if you're looking for a phenomenal HDMI cable with a seller that stands behind their product with a fantastic warranty, this is for you.

Great cable and works flawlessly with Nvidia rtx3080 and LG CX. 4K 120Hz with VRR. It didn't worked stable however with Denon X2700H but it's more likely due to some incompatible HDMI2.1 issues with Denon/Marantz receivers. Expensive cable but the results are great. A no-brainer for me, buy it.
