Frequently Asked Questions - CLS-AOCH/60-131 Kramer

What is the maximum supported resolution for the Kramer CLS-AOCH/60-131?

This active optical cable supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) and 8K@30Hz, depending on the source and display capabilities.

Does this cable require external power?

No external power supply is needed. The cable is USB bus-powered via a micro-USB port on one connector, drawing 5V/500mA from the source device.

Is the Kramer CLS-AOCH/60-131 compatible with HDMI 2.0?

Yes, it is fully compatible with HDMI 2.0 and supports HDCP 2.2, EDID, and CEC pass-through for seamless integration.

How long is this cable?

The model number indicates a 60-meter length (196.85 feet), ideal for long-distance AV installations.

Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?

No, this cable is rated for indoor use only. It should be kept away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

What is the difference between an active optical cable and a traditional HDMI cable?

Active optical cables use fiber optics to transmit signals over longer distances without degradation, whereas traditional copper cables are limited to shorter runs (typically < 15m for 4K).

How do I clean the cable connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the connector surfaces. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.

Is the cable directional?

Yes, this cable is directional. The connector labeled 'Source' should be connected to the transmitting device, and 'Display' to the receiving device.

Can I daisy-chain multiple CLS-AOCH cables?

Daisy-chaining is not recommended as it may cause signal loss or compatibility issues. Use a single cable of the required length.

What should I do if the cable stops working?

First, check all connections and ensure the USB power is properly connected. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty and non-repairable; contact Kramer support for a replacement.

CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX Active Optical UHD Pluggable HDMI Cable

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX Plug and Play active Fiber Optic UHD Pluggable HDMI Cable which is suited for critical and versatile installations.

The CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX provides an extremely high quality signal over a wide range of resolutions, up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4). This cable is available in different lengths from 33ft (10m) to 328ft (100m). The CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX has a slim design to let you pull the cables easily (together with the supplied pulling tool) through small-sized conduits.

Figure 1: HDMI Connector plugs (Source and Display)

The CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX is ideal for long distance transmission in professional AV systems, indoor and outdoor digital signage and kiosks, home theater systems, surgical theaters, facility automation systems and whenever high resolution video and audio are required.

Features

The CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX:

• Supports a wide range of resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (color space 4:4:4) 3D and Deep Color • Supports Multi-channel audio, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master Audio • Is HDMI compliant: EDID, CEC, HDCP (2.2), HDR (High Dynamic Range) - Reduced EMI and RFI - Includes a micro USB port to optionally connect an external 5V power supply (if required, this is typically connected on the display side) • Has high pulling strength and compression load - Has Source / Display clearly printed on the connector as well as tagged on the cable for easy identification

Cable Dimensions

The CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX includes four optical fibers and six AWG 28 wires with compact size HDMI connectors. On the source side, the micro HDMI connector enables smooth pulling of the cable. The SOURCE end connects to the source (for example, a DVD, Blu-ray or game console box) and the DISPLAY end to the acceptor (for example, a projector, an LCD display or a tablet device), see Figure 2 (note that SOURCE appears here as an example).

CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX Plug and Play Installation

Before installing the cable, make sure that you have an HDMI graphic card or devices with an HDMI port (for example, a PC, laptop, DVD/Blue-ray player or any other video/audio signal source device).

Optical fiber cable is not robust physically compared to conventional copper cable materials. Even though this cable is designed to be resistant to artificial strengths on the cable, CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX can be damaged if it is excessively pinched, twisted or kinked when being installed and after being installed. Take care not to bend or twist the cable tightly.

When CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX is installed into the conduit, the fiber pulling strength and the bending radius are the key conditions to safe installation of the cable.

Do not disassemble or modify the products, especially the HDMI connector head parts.

To install the CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX:

1. Unpack the cable from the package with care and remove the cable tie.
2. Place the micro-HDMI (Type D) connector inside the Pulling Tool and close its cover.

Note that you can pull the cable either from the display side or the source side (as shown in Figure 3), but you have to make sure that the cable polarity is correct (tagged Source if pulling the source side or Display if pulling the display side).

1. Attach the pulling cable to the Pulling Tool.

Figure 3: Attaching the Pulling Tool

1. Carefully install the cable (for example, in the wall or conduit or under the floor).
2. Connect the:
3. SOURCE HDMI adaptor to the micro-HDMI connector SOURCE end of the cable. ■ DISPLAY HDMI adaptor to the micro-HDMI connector DISPLAY end of the cable.
4. Secure the connection on each side using the supplied locking screws.
5. Plug the SOURCE connector head of the cable into the source devices. Do not plug the SOURCE connector to the display device.
6. Plug the DISPLAY connector head of the cable into the display devices. Do not plug the DISPLAY connector to the source device.
7. Switch on the power of the source and display devices.
8. If required, connect an external power source via the micro-USB connector on the DISPLAY side.

Troubleshooting

If you have encountered a problem, check that:

• The source and display devices are both switched on • Both HDMI connector heads are fully plugged into the devices • The cable or its jacket is not physically damaged • The cable is not bent or kinked

Note that it is important to connect the cable correctly as marked on the end of each connector: SOURCE to the source side and DISPLAY to the acceptor side.
