HDTV Supplys WolfPack 4K 66 Foot WolfPack Active Optical Cable is a high performance, low power consumption and low cost HDMI cable. The WolfPack Active Optical Cable uses optical fiber to replace some of the copper wire as a high-speed signal transmission medium. This WolfPack Active Optical Cable can perfectly transmit a 4k@60HZ UHD image up to 20-meters or 66-feet. Compared with the traditional HDMI copper wire cables, these WolfPack Active Optical Cables go further, are smaller, have a better signal quality together with flawless perfect EMI/EMC immunity. Compared with other HDMI optical fiber transmission solutions our WolfPack Active Optical Cable is easy to use, has perfect HDCP 2.2 compatibility and doesn′t need an external power supply.

This 66-foot WolfPack Active Optical Cable is a little different with most other fiber optic cables. First, it′s slightly bigger than the optic cable. Second, the bend radius is 20mm. Third, the permissible tensile force is 100N for long-term and 200N for short-term. The WolfPack 66-Foot Active Optical Cable is manufactured with both copper and fiber optic in the wire, so some call it hybrid fiber copper cable. We do this to keep the cost down and increase its performance. The Active Optical HDMI Cable draws a small amount of power from the HDMI source device so no external power source is required.

WolfPack 4K 66-Foot WolfPack Active Optical Cable Features:

  • Fiber transmission for high speed clock and data channel which makes the received signal 100% the same as the transmitter even after a long distance.
  • The copper wire transmission for for the DDC signal and other side-band signals which can achieves perfect compatibility with all HDMI devices.
  • Video Resolution: 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 UHD, 4K @30Hz 4:4:4 8Bit, full HD and 3D Deep Color across all lengths.
  • High Data Transfer Rates: Up to 14Gbps.
  • Embedded Audio: PCM 8−channel, Dolby Digital True HD, DTS−HD Master Audio.
  • HDCP Support: HDCP2.2 with CEC and EDID pass-through.
  • No External Power Needed: HDMI +5V, consumes only 0.25W from the source and sink device.
  • Highly resistant of EMI and RFI interference
  • Dynamic synchronization of video and audio streams
  • ARC compatible

The WolfPack 4K 66-Foot Active Optical Cable can support 4K60Hz UHD with a color space of 4:2:0 and a bandwidth of 10.2GBPS. This cable is HDMI 1.4 and supports HDCP 2.2, CEC and EDID.

Note that this does require a self-powered HDMI device on both ends. Both ends contain an optical transceiver that needs power. That said, even in power saving mode HDMI devices should power the Active Optical Cable. So you shouldn′t have issues with waking peripherals from sleep or similar.

Why not buy this 4K 66-Foot WolfPack Active Optical Cable today?

This 4K 66-Foot WolfPack Active Optical Cable was invented to replace copper technology in data centers and high performance computing applications as HDMI copper passive cables are heavy and bulky and in many long cable installations don′t display the video properly.

Q: If used with our 16x16 matrix how much current will be consumed by the matrix and will it cause a problem?
A:
This type of Active Optical Cable doesn't need much external power supply as it only consumes 0.25W with a voltage of +5V from HDMI the 2-HDMI devices so the current will be only 0.05A. Theoretically, it should be better than a normal HDMI cable.

Q: This product has CEC, what is CEC?
A:
This product features CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allowing your HDTV's remote to manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers) with no special programming needed. For example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button. All devices must support CEC, though.

Most major TV manufacturers now support CEC, and an HDTV with HDMI 1.3 will likely have the technology. Manufacturers call it by different names; LG Electronics, for instance, calls its implementation SimpleLink, whereas Toshiba calls its version CE-Link. Interoperability isn't mandatory, so some manufacturers limit control to their own products; Sony, for one, allows only Sony-to-Sony communication.

What Is a WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher?

A WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher is a single-chassis device that routes any HDMI source — such as a cable box, satellite receiver, streaming player, or computer — to any TV or display in a building, simultaneously and independently. Unlike an HDMI splitter (which sends one source to many screens) or a simple HDMI switch (which selects one source for one screen), a matrix switcher lets you show a different channel on every TV at the same time. HDTV Supply has sold WolfPack fixed matrix switchers to sports bars, restaurants, hotels, churches, schools, and commercial AV integrators since 2000.

Fixed vs. Modular: Which Do You Need?

WolfPack comes in two families: Fixed and Modular. Fixed matrix switchers have a set number of inputs and outputs built into one box — for example, 4 inputs × 4 outputs (4×4) or 8 inputs × 8 outputs (8×8). They are plug-and-play, rack-mountable, and the right choice when your input/output count won't change. Modular matrix switchers use a chassis with swappable I/O cards, scaling from a few ports up to 80×80 or beyond. If you know exactly how many sources and screens you need today, a fixed unit is typically lower cost and simpler to deploy.

Available Fixed WolfPack Configurations

HDTV Supply offers WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers in the following sizes:

  • 4×2 — 4 sources to 2 displays
  • 4×4 — 4 sources to 4 displays
  • 8×8 — 8 sources to 8 displays
  • 8×9 — 8 sources to 9 displays
  • 16×16 — 16 sources to 16 displays
  • 16×32 via CAT6 — extends signal up to 450 feet over CAT6 cable

Select models include built-in video wall processing, multiview, and picture-in-picture (PIP) — allowing two or more sources to display on a single screen simultaneously.

Control Options for Fixed Matrix Switchers

Every WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher supports multiple control methods so you can integrate it into any environment:

  • Front-panel buttons — manual source switching directly on the unit
  • IR remote control — included with most models
  • RS-232 serial control — for integration with Crestron, Control4, AMX, and similar systems
  • TCP/IP (LAN) control — send hex commands over your network from any device
  • Web GUI — browser-based interface for switching without additional software
  • Free iOS and Android apps — available for select WolfPack models

For RS-232 hex command strings and TCP/IP control protocols, see our WolfPack HEX Code Reference and TCP/IP Control Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fixed HDMI matrix switcher and a modular HDMI matrix switcher?

A fixed HDMI matrix switcher has a set number of HDMI inputs and outputs built into a single unit — for example, 8 inputs and 8 outputs. A modular matrix switcher uses a chassis with interchangeable I/O cards, so you can configure it for many different port counts and expand it later. Fixed units are simpler and more affordable; modular units offer flexibility for larger or changing installations.

Can a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher show different channels on different TVs at the same time?

Yes. A matrix switcher routes any input to any output independently. In an 8×8 configuration, all 8 displays can show 8 completely different sources simultaneously, or multiple displays can share the same source — in any combination you choose.

Can I control a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher from a Crestron or Control4 system?

Yes. WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support RS-232 and TCP/IP control, which are standard integration protocols supported by Crestron, Control4, AMX, and other third-party control systems. HDTV Supply provides hex command strings and driver documentation to support custom integrations.

What resolution do WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support?

Resolution support varies by model. WolfPack fixed matrix switchers are available in 1080p (Full HD) and 4K 30Hz configurations. Select 4K models also support HDR and HDCP 2.2. Always check the individual product specification sheet for confirmed resolution, color depth, and HDCP version.

How far can I run HDMI from a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher?

Standard HDMI outputs on fixed matrix switchers support runs up to approximately 25–50 feet depending on cable quality and resolution. The WolfPack 16×32 model transmits over CAT6 cabling for distances up to 450 feet per run. For longer distances with other fixed models, HDMI extenders can be added at each display.

What is the best HDMI matrix switcher for a sports bar?

For sports bars with up to 16 TVs, a WolfPack Fixed 16×16 HDMI Matrix Switcher is a popular choice — it handles 16 independent sources (cable boxes, satellite receivers, streaming devices) and routes any of them to any TV. For larger venues with 20–80+ TVs, HDTV Supply's WolfPack Modular Matrix Switchers or AV Over IP systems are typically the better fit. Call 833-WOLFPACK (833-965-3722) for a free consultation.
