RUIPRO 8K HDMI Fiber Optic Cable CL2 Rated 50 Feet 48Gbps 8K60Hz 4K120Hz Dynamic HDR eARC HDCP2.2/2.3 for RTX4080/4090/3080/3090, Xbox S/X, PS5/4, AVR, Projector, LG/Samsung/Sony TV

I'm actually writing this review 4 years later. The cable worked well for 4 years (make sure during the initial install that the source and display ends are correctly matched otherwise it won't work), but then one day it suddenly stopped working. I sent an e-mail to customer support and shared with them my trouble-shooting steps, and 4 days later I received a new working cable replacement. Their customer support and warranty is amazing, highly recommend

Finally received the product. It has drastically increased the quality of everything we watched. I had no idea there was texture on the "Stranger Things" lettering in the opening credits! The cables are directional for video, and allow for eARC so audio will travel both directions on the cable. The wire sheathing feels sturdy and is thin which is ideal as it doesn't take up much space in my stereo cabinet. Unlike the cables I was replacing which were ultra thick with baluns, then are slim. The HDMI connectors are well made and fit snug in their porta, be it the cable box, splitter, receiver, Fire TV, or Samsung TV. On the old cables the best I'd get out of my Fire TV was "UHD" now it shows "3840x2160 4k 60p" and the quality is night and day better. The audio also sounds clearer and is louder and comes through with more encoding to my receiver, like "Atmos", never seen that before. So glad I found these from the AVSForum because I was really at a loss of what to buy. I've been burned by the monster HDMI cables of yesteryear. These really are great HDMI cables. I've since changed all of mine over to these. Totally worth the cost. Original review: So far, Ive only opened the Amazon delivery boxes and one of the packages was clearly a return, no plastic shrink wrap. Inside the box was a motherboard anti-static bag, a cable tie and some foam straps. No HDMI cable. So while the description states it comes with an HDMI cable, be warned they may not. For this price point, I expected better. I'll update my review if things change.

I bought this RuiPro 8K fiber HDMI cable expecting a reliable long-run solution for my home theater. Instead, it failed after barely two months of use. I installed it carefully between my AV processor and 4K projector, and it immediately caused random audio and video dropouts. The signal would disappear, the processor would lose its surround-sound lock, and the entire HDMI handshake would collapse several times during a movie. I spent hours troubleshooting and verified the issue wasn’t the projector, the receiver, or the source devices. Replacing this cable with an older (2009) 25ft copper HDMI cable completely fixed the problem, which confirmed the RuiPro cable was the weak link. For something at this price point, it shouldn’t fail this quickly or behave this inconsistently. If you’re running a projector or any long HDMI connection, look elsewhere. This cable was a disappointment and absolutely not worth the headache.

I was experiencing some signal lock and delay issues with the first cable 33 feet Ruipro I bought here through Amazon. I tried three different media players, same thing. I don’t have the same issue with my other regular, non-fiber optic, certified HDMI 2.1 cable. I was going to return it to Amazon but decided to reach out to Ruipro’s customer first. I reached out to them by email explaining my issue in detail. Ruipro rushed a new replacement cable with expedited delivery. What a service!! I am happy to report that I have no issues with the new cable. Passed the Dolby Vision test from my receiver and Apple TV 4K. I noticed more color fidelity/pop with this new fiber cable vs the old copper cable, particularly noticeable in HDR and DV material giving it a three-dimensional feel, buy YMMV based on your source and display quality. I use this with a JVC projector in a dedicated bat cave theater. So far so good but I will keep testing for a few days more before running the cable through the attic.

Purchase the CL2 (in wall rated) 65ft version in September 2021 for AV install in our home where we have AV closet about 55ft from TV. Distance is longer than recommended for traditional HDMI, so this seemed to fit the bill for our needs. Worked great for several years after install (using Yamaha receiver and Samsung 4k TV). Used CL2 as the HDMI goes in wall from AV closet to crawl space and then in wall to rear of TV. About three months ago we began to experience HDMI not connecting to TV from receiver (TV did nto detect source) when components were turned on. Would need to hard power cycle receiver to regain connection. This began happening more frequently the past two weeks, until we no longer could establish a connection between receiver and TV. Tested TV and receiver by pulling receiver from closet and moving to TV and used a standard 25ft HDMI and the connection was fine. So, the issue is this cable. Just contacted the manufacturer for warranty replacement as they calim 5 year and still in that window. I intentionally routed the cable via conduit in the walls of AV closet and TV as I was worried about longevity. So although they claim CL2 rating, I'd advise having a plan/design to replace these cables when they die and for future upgradability. knocked three starts b/c of short lifespan. We'll see if they are good on warranty. Maybe pure fiber MPO with HDMI extenders is the way to go for near permanent, long term solution. Update 2/11/25 After multiple emails to Ruipro (both sales and support adresses) with Amazon sale invoice, they have failed to fulfill and honor 5 year warranty. They do not have a voice number so only option is email. The first I did receive a cryptic reply a week after sending about customer emails going to spam. Then no responses with three additional email follow up about claim status. Suffice to say I cannot wait anylonger to replace the cable and went HDbaseT route and will never purchase another wire from this company again. Revised to 1 star only for fact that cable did work for three years, but zero warranty support or customer service. Update 2/17/25 Ruipro reached out to my original email a day or so after my 2/11 update and indicated they had not received any of my follow up emails. Assume the reply was in response to my 2/11 update. Used my alternate email to provide shipping and they did respond and sent a replacement cable (rec 2/17). So they did honor warranty claim and adjusting review.

Solved the issue I was having with a similar length copper HDMI cable that had solid specs but would have handshake issues. This cable did start to have its own handshake/flickering issues after 13 months working perfectly, but I was able to resolve the issue within DAYS when I contacted Ruipro support.

I have high end PC with RTX4090 and got LG Oled TV (B4 4k), my old HDMi had no enough bandwight to give 4k 120hz signal, so i had 1-2second black screens. so i needed the high bandwight HDMI cable, with little daley, and it should have been 7meters of lenght to connect PC to TV. So o got this 25ft C-8K Fiber Gen3/C CL2 Rated, and it works perfectly, no delay, no signal loss. it is as good as advertised. getting 10bpc full rgb color signal - 120hz 4k without any problem or stutter. highly recommend this cable.

Great cable but seems poorly built. I installed it and it worked fine for a month. I moved the cable to the other side of the room routed behind some furniture and never worked again. Inspected the whole cable and can't seem to find any obvious damage. For the price it seems it should be more durable.

Awesome product just the right one for my Hisense C2 Projector. It works perfectly well with the soundbar and makes a whole lot of difference. It’s worth it.!!

This fiber optic hdmi cable is great. No lag, no issue. Works perfectly. I had purchased 2 cables (50ft and 25ft), and one started to cut audio and video intermittently for a few seconds about 4 months after purchase. So I contacted ruipro customer service and explained the defect, and they sent a replacement to my house within 2 days. This is great customer service, and the product works flawlessly. Would purchase again

I have a gaming PC with a 4070ti in it. One display port cable runs to an OLED desk top screen and this cable to an LG OLED 4K tv. I bought the 20 foot variant just for some extra wiggle room with my stand up desk. The cable despite its length still delivers 4K at 120 hz with HDR in 10 bit color. I even saw an option for 12 bit but haven't tested since I let Windows set the color depth. One of the first cables i have seen at this length to do that. I guess single directional fiber is the way to go. I rarely do reviews but this is something I struggled to find at longer lengths and would like others to not have to do as much experimenting as I had to to settle on Ruipro.

The CL2 black cable is flame retardant and may be required by law for various in-wall installations. However, if you're not doing an in-wall installation, don't get the CL2 cable. It is made of PVC to meet the CL2 specification, but what they don't tell you is that this cable offgasses a strong vinyl chloride odor, which is a carcinogen. The odor also gets all over your hands when you handle it. I couldn't get rid of this odor even after washing the cable and leaving it exposed to sunlight for the day. The green version of this cable, which isn't CL2 rated, doesn't have this issue. So for the sake of your health, get the green cable and not the CL2 cable.

I did have some problems with HDCP black screen flashing when connecting to things like netflix from my PC. Now this may be a problem with my TV or video card so I can't say for sure if it's the cable, but I can say that they sent me a new cable for free. Aside from that, the performance of the cable is great. I run at at 120/4k from across the room and never any signs of artifacts of signal dropping.
