I'm assuming you are comparing this to HDMI 2.1 compatible (or standard) cables.in which case the answer is, because this is now obsolete. It achieves HDMI 2.0 standards (18gbps) in One direction (no arc) normal HDMI cables will do two directions (yay arc!) but are limited by lengh unless they are amplified. By converting the signal to fiber optics and then back you get extra distance but only in one direction.
2.1 fiber cables at 100ft even from questionable merchants tend to be $50+ but note they are also almost universally unidirectional.


For those who truly only need HDMI 2.0 and need massive length this is a steal.

how is the 150ft cheaper than the 30ft and all shorter sizes

no signal degradation over 150ft?

This Amazon Basics 18 Gbps HDMI fiber optic cable is based on HDMI 2.0–era technology: it reliably supports long runs (150 ft) of 4K at 60 Hz with HDR, but it is limited to an 18 Gbps bandwidth ceiling, so it cannot handle newer HDMI 2.1 features like 4K 120 Hz, 8K video, or full next-gen gaming capabilities; it's not obsolete for fixed 4K@60 installations (TVs, projectors, signage), but it isn't future-proof for modern consoles, GPUs, or high-refresh displays.

You are spot on. This is really a niche cable but if you need it, this is an amazing price.

Supporting 4k 60 is optimistic, let alone reliably or with 10 bit hdr. If you do get it at that resolution I'd expect it to be finicky and hard capped at 4:2:0 8bit. You might get lucky but these cheap cables tend to be pain at a third that length. Also it's surprisingly easy to break an optical HDMI if you make sharp bends or move it around too much. Like most of these cables it does support ark, probably through a dedicated metal side line, not that there'd be much point.

The length is arguably excessive, but for most any user seeking an 18Gbps (4k@60Hz) option for any length above 25 feet this is probably your best option before investing in an alternate platform (such as HDbaseT) and you simply accept the excess length. The MSRP noted is a joke. Though the cable has been as high as $100, over the past year the price has fluctuated between $25 and $65.

Good luck!

All well and good, but doesn't your hdmi source signal have to be an optical as well ? I'm confused how and where the electrical signal from the hdmi source is converted to optical.

I have a 30 foot and 50 foot fiber optic HDMI 2.1 cable and PS5 hates them both and refuses to do 120hz over them.

I believe the conversion is done within the cable.

From that blog post:
"Fiber optic cables are far less susceptible to signal interference, noise, and crosstalk, due to using light rather than electricity to transmit the data. It has a converter at each end to allow the source to transmit the data and the display to translate it."

Yes, the conversion circuitry would be housed within the mold from the HDMI connector to the cable.

Wow. Serious question: what kind of setup has the source 150' from the output? I could see that for like... A gym/sports facility, but couldn't imagine needing this in a home.

It would also be fun to do a "wrong answers only" version of this 😅
