The WyreStorm HAOC is a next generation HDMI cable designed for the next generation of 4K and 5K HDR content. It offers a unique feature set in both delivering uncompressed HDMI content at up to 24Gbps and compatibility with emerging HDMI technologies such as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) & VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) using the latest in optical transmission technology. Now established as the most powerful form of HDMI extension, WyreStorm active optical cables offer the best of both worlds: pixel-perfect long distance transmission of content and native HDMI communication, thanks to their ability to be a passive communication technology compared to normal HDBaseT extenders that often terminate the HDMI signal prior to transmission.
