About this item Written by Crutchfield's Steve Kindig Slim cable and detachable headshell simplify new-home wiring Metra's Install Bay® active fiber HDMI cable is a top choice for builders of new smart homes. Its high-bandwidth design supports a maximum data rate of 24 Gbps — the highest rating we've seen for a long HDMI 2.0 cable. It can easily handle the latest 4K/HDR signals. The installer-friendly design features a removable headshell with a small connector cover and hook that makes pulling the cable through conduit easy. The cable's durable jacket is designed for in-wall installation, and is a smart choice for pre-wiring new homes thanks to a UL-rated jacket that won't split or break in colder temperatures. The active optical fiber technology supports high-bandwidth content, and in most cases can draw power directly through the HDMI connection at the source or display, with no external power required. Note: Make sure your source and display devices can deliver at least 500mA voltage through their HDMI ports. If not, you can use the included 38-inch microUSB-to-USB cable to get power to the Metra active cable by connecting to a USB Type A port on your source or display device.
