Extron HD Pro P/50 (part number 26-726-50) — 50 ft of hybrid fiber-and-copper HDMI cable, plenum rated and powered entirely by the source device.

At 50 ft (15.2 m) a passive HDMI run is already fighting attenuation at 4K. This cable sidesteps the problem by putting the video on multimode fiber and leaving only the slow control traffic on 28 AWG tinned copper, so the far end still receives an 18 Gbps signal with 4:4:4 chroma. No power supply, injector or extender pair is involved — the connected source drives the electronics inside the plug, which keeps the bill of materials and the failure points down.

Key Capabilities

• Full 4K/60 4:4:4 and HDR delivery over a 50 ft distance
• Data rate ceiling of 18.0 Gbps across the three color channels
• Passes EDID reads, HDCP 2.3 authentication and CEC commands transparently
• Handles PCM 8-channel, Dolby Digital True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio
• NEC CMP plenum jacket, listed CE, UL-CMP, RoHS and WEEE
• Gold-plated HDMI type A contacts on both ends for a low-resistance mate

Where It Is Used

Fifty feet is the workhorse length for boardrooms with a ceiling projector, courtroom evidence displays, house-of-worship platforms and hospital operating rooms where the video source cabinet sits down the corridor. It also suits a control room console feeding a wall-mounted monitor bank several bays away.
