Frequently Asked Questions - CRS-AOCH/COLOR-164 Kramer

What is the Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR-164 cable used for?

This Kramer cable is designed for connecting audio/video sources (e.g., Blu-ray players, gaming consoles) to displays such as TVs or projectors over longer distances using active optical technology.

What does 'AOC' stand for and how does it benefit?

AOC stands for Active Optical Cable. It uses fiber optics to transmit signals, allowing longer runs (up to 100m) without signal degradation, and is immune to electromagnetic interference.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable typically supports up to 4K @ 60 Hz (3840x2160p) with 18 Gbps bandwidth, compatible with HDMI 2.0 standards.

Does this cable require external power?

Most Kramer AOC cables are passive or draw power from the HDMI source (if supported). Some longer models may include a USB power adapter. Check the product specifications.

Is this cable compatible with older HDMI devices?

Yes, it is backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 devices, but performance will be limited to the lower standard (e.g., 1080p @ 60Hz).

How should I clean the cable and connectors?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cable jacket. For connectors, you may use an alcohol wipe and let it dry completely. Avoid pulling on the cable.

Can I bend the cable sharply?

No, avoid sharp bends or kinks as they can damage the optical fiber inside. Use gentle curves with a minimum bend radius of about 20mm.

What should I do if the cable stops working?

First, check the connections and try different source/display ports. If the issue persists, the cable may be defective and should be replaced under warranty. Do not attempt repair.

Is the Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR-164 available in different lengths?

Kramer offers AOC cables in various lengths (e.g., 5m, 10m, 15m). The specific model 'COLOR-164' might indicate a particular color or length variant. Check the product page for options.

Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?

Yes, with 18 Gbps bandwidth, it supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision for enhanced color and contrast in compatible content.

CRS-AOCH/COLOR Fiber Optic High Speed Pluggable HDMI Cable

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR Plug and Play active Fiber Optic High Speed Pluggable HDMI Cable. The CRS-AOCH/COLOR provides an extremely high quality signal over a wide range of resolutions, up to 4K@30Hz. This cable is available in various lengths from 33ft (10m) up to 328ft (100m).

Features

The CRS-AOCH/COLOR:

• Supports a wide range of resolutions up to 4K@30Hz Full HD, 3D, Deep Color
• Supports Multi-channel audio, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master Audio
• Is HDMI compliant: EDID, CEC, HDCP
- Inherently provides protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI)
- Has built-in powering with low power consumption
- Has high pulling strength

Cable Dimensions

The CRS-AOCH/COLOR includes four optical fibers and six AWG 28 wires with compact size HDMI connectors. The cable has a SOURCE green colored end to which the source is connected (for example, a DVD, Blu-ray or game console box) and a DISPLAY red colored end to which the acceptor is connected (for example, a projector, an LCD display or a tablet device), see Figure 1.

CRS-AOCH/COLOR 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 devices).

Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR Fiber Optic HDMI cables are designed to take +5V DC power from the source devices to the HDMI pin #18 of the SOURCE

side connector on the cable.

Optical fiber cable is not robust physically compared to conventional copper cable materials. Even if this cable is designed to be seamlessly resistant at certain levels of artificial strengths to the cable, CRS-AOCH/COLOR can be damaged if it is excessively pinched, twisted or kinked when being installed and after being installed. Be careful not to bend or twist the cable tightly.

When CRS-AOCH/COLOR is installed into the conduit, the fiber pulling strength and the bending radius are the key conditions to safe installation of the cable:

Maximum fiber bending radius: 90mm

Maximum fiber pulling/tensile strength: 50kg (500N)

Crush Resistance: 50kg (500N)

Do not disassemble or modify the products, especially the HDMI connector head parts. Do not remove the dust plug before the cable laying process is completed. HDMI connector heads are very critical parts. Remove the head at the last moment just before the connector is plugged into the source or the display devices after the installation is complete.

To install the CRS-AOCH/COLOR:

1. Unpack the cable from the package with care and remove the cable tie. We recommend that you save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.
2. Install the cable (for example, an in-wall or conduit installation or under-floor installations).
3. Once the cable installation is complete, remove the dust cap and plug the SOURCE green connector head of the cable into the source devices.

Do not plug the SOURCE green connector to the display device.

1. Remove the dust cap and plug the DISPLAY red connector head of the cable into the display devices.

Do not plug the DISPLAY red connector to the source device.

1. Switch on the power of source and display devices.

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
