Metra's Install Bay active hybrid HDMI cables are a great way to go when you have a long cable run between a 4K source and your 4K TV — even up to 260 feet! These cables support the maximum 18 Gbps bandwidth provided by the HDMI 2.0 standard, and they're rated for in-wall use. They can handle the latest advances in video technology, including 4K Ultra HD and HDR content.
Unlike conventional copper-based HDMI cables, these hybrid cables divvy up the signal-carrying duties among four fiber optic conductors and seven copper conductors. The other advantage of these cables is the "active" part — the built-in signal processing chip. It helps ensure that your signals travel from source to display with no loss or interruption. The cable is self-powered, drawing 5V via the HDMI connection to the source device, so no external power supply is needed.
These Metra cables are thin, lightweight, and flexible — their small bending radius of 45mm makes connections in tight spaces possible. The cables have labeled connector ends to reduce installation error (there's only one correct way to hook them up).
This cable works great after having first tried a much more expensive Celerity cable that did not work.

Average Customer Review(s):
Works great! Once i realized that the cable can only be connected in one direction did the panic subside I then reversed them and it works as advertised.

Cons:
This cable works as described and I can have 4K BluRays and appleTV 4K without any fuss. Very happy and would recommend this product in a heartbeat.

Pros: Installed and worked with no problem.
Cons: None
I would think twice if you need this cable for a longer run. I ordered the 50' version, and the ARC didn't work. Ordered a replacement active cable, and the ARC works great. Unfortunately this cable was installed in my wall, and it will be no small task digging it out. The only reason I gave it two stars is that the picture is fine (even 4k), it's just the ARC that doesn't work. I understand ARC is still somewhat in its infancy and that it could be a compatibility issue. That said, the new cable works just fine, and this one is supposed to according to what is advertised.
Pros: transmits 4k at 50'
Cons: ARC doesn't work at 50'
Bought this cable for a long PS4 Pro connection and couldn't be happier.
Pros: Was able to connect my PS4 Pro from across the room with no loss of quality.
Cons: Would be nice if there were a few more lengths to choose from.
Great picture running 4k
Pros:
Cons:
Running 4K HDR 10 bit 60Hz? No problem!
Pros: Very light and less bulky
Cons: None
Great! This product did the trick for my linking my 4kTV, DirecTv & Apple 4K. I HIGHLY recommend this product. Using this cable vs the older HDMI I was formally using has peaked the performance, clarity and color accuracy. It is the solution. Should you choose to buy - you'll be extremely satisfied.
Pros: Great product!!
Cons:
Easy to pull through conduit. Eliminated the snow on 4k video.

Hybrid Active HDMI/Optical Cable: This active hybrid cable contains both fiber optic and copper cores terminated by a HDMI connector on each end. It allows you to transmit HDMI signals long distances without an external power supply. With an advanced optical engine embedded, this hybrid active HDMI/Optical cable provides full HDMI signal integrity and supports a maximum data rate of 18Gbps.
HDMI 2.0b: The active hybrid HDMI/Optical cable is terminated with a gold-plated HDMI type-A connector on each end and fully complies with the HDMI 2.0b specification. The HDMI 2.0b specification means that it will support data rates up to 18Gbps, video resolutions up to Ultra HD 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) with 48-bit color depth (16-bit per channel), as well as lossless HDMI audio formats like Dolby True HD and DTS-HD. It also supports bi-directional EDID, as well as HDCP 1.4 & 2.2 communication. In addition, the cable is compatible with ARC, HEC, CEC, and Ethernet-over-HDMI.
Directional: This active hybrid cable can only be used in one direction. The HDMI type-A connectors are marked with "Source" and "Display". Each HDMI type-A connector must be plugged into the correct port to avoid signal loss. Make the appropriate connections with your Source and Display device turned off.
Note: Do not use any intermediate cables or adapters between the connections, as the signal transmission performance maybe attenuated.
Passive Power: The active hybrid HDMI/Optical cable is designed for use with the +5V passive power, supplied through pin 18 on the HDMI connection from the source device. This +5V connection, as well as powering the internal fiber optic module, is also carried through to the other sink via a full standard copper connection. Make sure that your source device is capable of delivering more than 500mA.
CL3 Rated: The active hybrid HDMI/Optical cable features a UL rated CL3 approved PVC jacket for safe in-wall use. It is intended for indoor use only; do not use it outdoors (contact with moisture must be avoided under all circumstances). The PVC jacket is also lightweight, flexible, and has a small diameter.

price and recommendation from advisor [ Shaft Nov 16, 2018 ]
I ordered another HDMI premium cable for my setup. It was about 35ft long. The connection between my PS4 Pro and AVR to the projector was about 41ft in total. The picture was black and only audio came through. After troubleshooting I figured that maybe the length was the problem with the copper based HDMI cable. Time to give fiber a shot.
