HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60.

The product line includes 4K and 8K HDMI AOCs, with the 8K version supporting lengths up to 150 meters. ChibiZhilixing also manufactures USB-C to HDMI active optical cables, which can reach lengths of up to 50 meters. In addition to these specialized long-reach solutions, the company produces standard-length USB AOC cables and various adapters, such as USB-C to HDMI converters, which also utilize optical fiber technology.
To ensure signal integrity and robustness, the cables incorporate shielding designed to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The internal design features what is described as “air-made fiber” for this purpose. The company validates its products by testing them with a wide array of televisions from different manufacturers, including Samsung as well as other Chinese and Japanese brands, to ensure broad compatibility.
Based in a facility near Wuhan, China, the factory employs approximately 200 people and spans 3000 square meters. For business inquiries, the minimum order quantity (MOQ) is set at 10 pieces. As a reference for pricing, a 10-meter cable is approximately $10, while a 30-meter version is around $50. This video was filmed at the Hong Kong Fairs April 2026 event.
