RUIPRO 8K Detachable Full Fiber Optic Armored HDMI 2.1 Cable, 48Gbps, 33FT | Full Fiber Optic Design Eliminates EMI vs Copper Cables; Replace the Module Without Replacing the Entire In-Wall Cable

I had never heard of RUIPRO before and came across this cable while looking for a long HDMI cable, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the 40-foot version and honestly, I’m glad I did. I’ve been using it with my TV and gaming setup, and so far it has been working great. It consistently reaches the maximum frame rate that my TV can handle without any issues. I’ve been playing Black Myth: Wukong with it, and I’ll be including pictures with the review so you can see the setup and the game running. For a 40-foot cable, I also like that it’s relatively thin and flexible, which makes it much easier to route compared with some bulky long HDMI cables. The detachable connectors are an interesting feature as well, especially for anyone planning to run the cable through a wall or conduit. I took a chance on a brand I wasn't familiar with, but so far I have no regrets about the purchase. It has been reliable in my setup and is delivering the performance I was looking for.

I was looking for a way to stream games from my PC in the office to the TV in the living room, and every source I saw left me with two conclusions: 1) Streaming games from PC to TV is impractical over Wi-Fi. 2) A long HDMI cable is your best bet, but signal loss makes connections over 30 ft unreliable (my computer is about 40 ft from my TV). I finally came across a forum post that recommended this item and, although the price is a little steep, I picked up the 65 ft size, and I don't regret the purchase! Running fiber optic cable was a little intimidating because it can be a bit fragile. You don't want to flex it too much or bend it too sharply. But, with the help of some inexpensive plastic cable conduit I had lying around, I was able to run the cable across my apartment without any trouble, making a few 90-degree bends where necessary. The signal is stable. The picture and colors are clear. There is practically no lag. Everything looks just the same as it would on my PC monitors (better, even, since I don't have high-end gaming monitors). Frankly, until the Steam Machine comes out (and the the inevitable stock-outs and scalping stop), I think this is the next best thing! One thing to note, though: The included HDMI converters at either end are NOT bi-directional. One needs to be plugged into the source, and the other into the display (and the one at the display needs to be powered via USB), otherwise it simply won't work. I read the directions and still managed to forget by the time I was done running the cable and hooking it up. I was at a loss when the picture failed to come through. But it worked great once I remembered and swapped the adapters. Happy gaming!

Great cable! I tested it before I ran it behind the wall. The picture quality was terrific. I watched snippets of Lord of The Rings and The Dark Knight in 4k. The black levels and color were exceptional. Maybe it's in my head but it did seem a bit more rich. The eARC works great as well. I have it powered at the TV so the TV remote controls the volume to my AVR. The cable was easy to run behind the wall. Overall it's really flexible and seems durable. The ends stick out a bit and I couldn't place my AV rack as far back as I would like because it sticks out. The concept of switching the heads is terrific for future proofing. If I could give it 4.5 I would. If th connectors were a tad more flexible then I would give it 5 stars.

This cable really makes the video pop from my Epson 5050UB Projector. I have been using this cable for a full year and have had no issues. I love the removeable HDMI connectors that makes snaking through walls and ceilings much easier. I highly recommend this cable to anyone who has a long run from the AVR to the projector. during the install I had a question and emailed the manufacturer directly. I received a response the next morning which really surprised me. That's great customer service! You can't go wrong with this brand, and with the lifetime warranty, you can feel great that they will take care of any issues quickly.

Este es el peor cable hdmi 2.1 que he visto y eso que es fibra óptica, pero un hdmi de cobre blindado es 1000 veces mejor. No se si es mi unidad de 2 metros que vino defectuosa o es un fallo general, pero no puede ofrecer 4K a 60 hz en formato de color RGB y 12 bits. De las 20 veces de formas diferentes que hice las pruebas, solo 2 veces logre que presentara esta resolución, y cuando ponía un juego a 120 hz se caía la imagen por 1 minuto. Las otras 18 veces el hdmi me dio señal en 8bits en YUV422. Esta es la resolución que alcanza un hdmi 2.0 con velocidad de 18 gbps. Se supone que este cable es 2.1 de 48 gbps y puede ofrecer 120 hz sin compresión. Estoy muy decepcionado. US$100 para estresarme un día entero con un cable que se ve peor que mis otros hdmi de cobre 2.1. Ni que RUIPRO me regale 5 cables se los cojo. Eso de dividir el cabesal hdmi de la fibra óptica es el motivo de su falla, porque por eso le entra interferencia.

I normally don't leave reviews but I'm so impressed with this Ruipro Pure Fiber Cable on initial usage that I wanted to get my thoughts down while still fresh. First a little about my HT equipment, my sources are Ruko 4K ultra, nVidia Shield, Mac Mini all connected to a Marantz 8805 processor which feeds a Panasonic PT-RQ13K, 3-Chip 4K DLP projector with 4K content. The Panny PT-RQ13K can also shift incoming content up to 5K (5120 x 3200) which is slightly above 5K(5120 x 2880). This is all shown on a 120" diagonal acoustic screen in a light controlled. My run is not that long at 35FT but I've always used fiber cables in my HT because I noticed a long time ago that fiber add more vibrance to colors and also brings out fine details over copper HDMI cables IMO. I'm currently running a fiber cable I previously purchased from Amazon but I wanted to give the RUIPRO cable a try because this is only fiber HDMI cable on Amazon which states upfront in the description that its a pure fiber cable with no copper. Installation of the RUIPRO cable was straight forward, I happened to have a 5.0V USB power adapter laying around the house for use with the cable since my projector doesn't have a USB port. Other than that, the instructions are clear and simple. I used "Wicked" and "The Neighborhood" as my test material as both have vivid contrasting colors. Contrast - I notice right away when switch back and forth btw the two fiber cables, the Puipro has the bright cleaner whites. Bright colors and the shiny material in Glenda good witch's dress really shined through. Brightness/Shadow Details - now this is where the Ruipro also shined in the opening scene of Wicked I noticed more punch and richness in the dark and earth tone colors of the scene. There was more 3D depth in the walls and floors and finer details where easily noticed over my other fiber cable. I was impressed and there was a smile on my face as I watched this scene. Colors - This is were I fell in love with this cable because I as I watched the opening of Wicked for the umpteenth time for testing, I really noticed allot more vibrance and depth in colors. When viewing the weaved materials in clothing I could easily see the various colors in the threading of the material. This is were you know you have a good fiber cable because all varying shades of color start to jump out at you and catch your eye. Fine Detail - This is also highlight by this cabled, I noticed right away how buildings had more fine detail depth in the building materials. I could easily see the pitting, layering, and varying shades in the stucco material on the walls. I really noticed the overall improvement of the details in all the scenes in Wicked and The Neighborhood. Improvement in detail help give the content more body and depth it's the difference of seeing eye lashes as a whole versus seeing an individual eyelash clearly if that makes sense. Conclusion - As some one who has been in the HT hobby since 1999 and started out using CRT projector, I'm always on the hunt for improvement to my picture quality and I think RUIPRO is an improvement over other fiber cable and copper even if your run is not that long. The improvements are easily visible especially in video content with multi hues of colors and materials. Darken scenes will have more visible textures and depths and test with sharper and easier to read. I purchased this cable with my own funds and this is the first product I've purchased from this RUIPRO. I cannot comment on longevity of the cable due to the short ownership period. Should it fail in a short period of time, I will update my review. Hope this review helps someone else make a decision on this cable because I think this is a sleeper and should be tried in your system. You can always send it back if it doesn't wake up the color vibrance and fine details of your particular setup but it will not turn a $400 TV/Projector into a $5000 TV/Projector Semper FI & Enjoy Andre

This is day one, and my display is snappier. The sound even works over the fiber connection. It was very easy to set up. Now I just need to run them in the wall. My PCs sit on a table behind my desk on sliding disks. This way I can spin my chair around to clean and work at will. Also, this fiber cable takes stress off the HDMI ports. So why did I give only 4 Stars??? The price. The cable cost $15, and the HDMI connectors cost $100 by themselves. If one of the HDMI connectors goes out, you must buy a whole new cable and connectors. Micro USB for something that costs so much. I hate these connectors; they always go bad on me. My basic setup: Two LG C3 55-inch sitting 14 feet away (due to Old age eye strain. Long cell phone sections are a no-no for me). One MSI 27-inch 1440P (some things you need in your face for a short while). One Daily driver PC, older AMD One High PC i9-14900K RTX 4090 Gaming / Simulator PC Lots of flight gear. P.S. Now Day three. The 10-meter (33-foot) cables are now in the wall and working very well as full HDMI cables on my smaller daily driver PC. I hook up the USB power cable to both the Display and the Source connectors. I am now not so stressed out about the ports on my RTX 3080 and OLED TV. Now I need to order 3 more. Two 45-foot for the RTX 4090 PC and one 65-foot for my media room projector and AVR. Why has my AVR doubled in price, and as we all know, the RTX 4090 is in some places 2.5 times more expensive than what I paid for it.

This cable is great. My particular use-case is that I've got a screen, a soundbar, and a Roku Ultra on one side of a very large room and a projector on the other side of the room. Since I'm renting, running a copper HDMI cable through the walls is not an option and they are almost all too thick to tuck under the baseboards or run around doorways without being an ugly eyesore. This cable is very thin and can easily tuck behind my baseboards, around door frame corners and in the gap between my carpet and my tile. As a result I'm able to almost entirely hide it. Works perfectly with eARC, HDR and no latency or lip-synch issues over the 50 foot run.

Qualité impressionnante. J’ai la version 10m connectée entre ma PS5 et ma tv oled 4k. Tout passe : VRR, ALLM, HDCP, HDR….

Raramente scrivo recensioni ma questo cavo merita. Trasmette senza nessun problema segnale 4k 120hz 10bit in HDR dalla scheda video del pc alla TV (ricordatevi di alimentare l'HDMI che si collega alla TV altrimenti il segnale arriverà in massimo 4k 60hz). Ottimo se volete farlo passare attraverso le forassiti ma assicuratevi che ci sia abbastanza spazio perchè la testa di cavo (che si collega all'HDMI) è abbastanza grossa e se ci sono altri cavi molto probabilmente non entrerà.

Bonjour à tous Après avoir essayé plusieurs câbles HDMI (dont des modèles cuivre et fibre), je peux enfin dire que ce câble RUIPRO est celui qui a réellement résolu mes problèmes sur une installation home-cinéma exigeante. Mon installation est composée d'un vidéoprojecteur Valerion Vision Master Max, d'un ampli Onkyo TX-RZ70 et d'une Nvidia Shield TV. Avec les autres câbles testés, j'avais régulièrement des micro-coupures d'image et de son, parfois toutes les 1 à 2 heures, malgré un matériel récent et de qualité. Avec ce câble RUIPRO fibre active, plus aucune micro-coupure : image 4K parfaitement stable, son impeccable et fonctionnement global irréprochable. J'ai malheureusement rencontré une défaillance de l'embout HDMI côté source après environ 48 heures d'utilisation. J'ai effectué de nombreux tests afin d'isoler précisément la panne et j'ai pu confirmer qu'il s'agissait bien de cet embout. Et c'est là que le service client RUIPRO mérite vraiment d'être salué : réponse extrêmement rapide, échanges professionnels et courtois, et envoi immédiat d'un câble complet neuf sans aucune difficulté. Grâce à cela, mon installation fonctionne désormais parfaitement. Je tiens donc à souligner non seulement la qualité technique du produit, mais également l'excellence du support après-vente, ce qui devient malheureusement rare aujourd'hui. Pour les installations longues distances, notamment avec vidéoprojecteur et ampli home-cinéma haut de gamme, je recommande vivement ce câble. ★★★★★

Cable bien hecho que supera a otros por calidad y precio, aun no ha calentado motores como para dar 5 estrellas, apenas 1 día de uso, conectado a un proyector Xgimi Titan desde una Xbox one X , el streaming se ve saturado en los colores, pero supongo que hay que regular los menú de ambas máquinas...antes tenía un óptico de 15 metros de peor calidad, o eso creía, pero la verdad que no le veo una gran diferencia Después de probarlo, manipularlo, doblarlo, pisarlo, todo los adjetivos que terminen en lo, debo decir que el cable es una gran sorpresa, los colores una vez manipulas un poco los menú, saturación y nitidez que entrega te deja al final con una grata cesación de haber hecho una buena inversión, rectifico lo dicho anteriormente, aunque al precio que lo compré yo, una ganga

This RUIPRO fiber cable works reliably at 4K@120Hz between my NVIDIA RTX graphics card and my Samsung 4K television with HDR and VRR enabled. It has done so for over a year now with no issues. I had tried HDMI 2.1-cables from reputable brands that were far more expensive than this one, that worked most of the time but frequently had handshake or dropout issues. It actually led me to assume that the Samsung TV was just finicky, but it turns out it was not. I will absolutely be using this product for any long cable runs in the future.
