Opticis showcased its latest range of fiber-optic extension modules and active optical cables at InfoComm 2026. The South Korean manufacturer designs and produces its own proprietary optical chipsets in-house, ensuring TAA compliance across its product lines. The core technology leverages uncompressed signal transmission over optical fibers to eliminate latency, electromagnetic interference, and radio frequency interference in high-performance AV setups.

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. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

A key highlight of the exhibit is the new diagnostic and monitoring system integrated into the company’s multi-module power supply frame. By connecting the power supply frame to a local network via an Ethernet LAN cable, technicians can use dedicated software to monitor the real-time status of each optical extender module. The monitoring application tracks parameters such as input signal status, operating temperatures, firmware versions, and overall system health. Additionally, custom labeling allows administrators to assign specific names to modules based on their deployment location—such as control rooms or specific monitor feeds—facilitating fast troubleshooting and reducing overall system downtime.
Opticis displayed high-bandwidth point-to-point extenders, including an HDMI 2.1 optical extension module that supports 8K video at 60Hz or 4K video at 144Hz. This system transmits uncompressed video and data signals up to 200 meters over a single LC multi-mode fiber. For USB-C connectivity, the company offers a full-featured active optical cable supporting USB 3.2, backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1, and up to 100W of Power Delivery over a distance of 10 meters. For applications where power transmission is not required, a pure optical USB-C extension system extends signals up to 330 meters.
The product lineup also includes specialized active optical cables (AOCs) and multi-signal extenders. The HDMI 4K AOC is a detachable, plug-and-play solution that operates without external power and supports distances up to 100 meters, optimizing flexible installation in tight conduits. For DisplayPort 8K environments, the company provides a rugged MPO-based active optical cable that reaches up to 330 meters. For complex workflows requiring consolidated cabling, a point-to-point extender transmits 4K HDMI 2.0, USB, 1Gb Ethernet, RS-232, and bi-directional audio simultaneously over two LC multi-mode fibers.
For permanent AV installations, Opticis showed multi-format wallplate converters supporting HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, DVI, and SDI interfaces. These wallplates are designed for surgical rooms and medical boom installations where clean cable management and high reliability are critical. Additionally, compact piggyback-style HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort extenders connect directly to the back of displays or graphics card outputs, transmitting signals up to 300 meters over a single LC multi-mode fiber and supporting secondary screen mirror extensions for space-constrained environments.
