It WORKS
I'm frankly amazed that this works as well as it does. Which is PERFECTLY. I haven't had a single issue whatsoever. This is ten times longer than the recommended length for 4K60 HDR video, yet it works perfectly. I regularly use this to game on my living room TV with my PC in my office. It's long enough to run along the baseboards out my office, around the corner through the hallway, behind the couch, and from the couch to the TV stand under a rug. I've also tripped over the cable hard and stepped on the cable multiple times (before I had run the cable along the baseboards out of the way), and even though it's fiber optic, it did not seem to damage the cable in any way.I game in 4K60 HDR, which is a bandwidth of ~20Gbps and requires a "Premium" or "Ultra" rated HDMI cable. And this cable works perfectly. Highly recommended.Note: The HDMI connector on the TV side has a wire coming off the side for USB (to provide a small amount of power to step up the voltage), so it may block an adjacent HDMI port. My solution to this was to plug this cable into the last HDMI port on my TV. Some older TVs may only accept 4K from certain inputs, so it's potentially possible that you would need a short, cheap HDMI extender in order to not block an adjacent HDMI port, depending on your TV. You may potentially also need a short USB extender if an available USB port is far enough away from the HDMI inputs. You may not run into either issue, but if you do, it's an easy and cheap fix.

Works great…but READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
This is working great for me, even without the powered adapter. However, don’t make my mistake and run it through your cable way without insuring it’s installed according to the instructions!I had never heard of a directional HDMI cable, and didn’t pay attention. It failed to work, until I noticed its directionality. Had I bothered to read the sheet that came with it, I’d have known right away. So don’t make my mistake!

PAY ATTENTION!!!!
These cords are awesome for the price! They provide a great picture, the quality of the cord is solid, and with how slime the cord is they are very easy to maneuver while installing. There is only one downside to these cords and sadly I had to learn in the worst way possible, they are single direction cords! I bought 7 total and ran everyone of them through the ceilings and down walls before finding this out. Unlucky for me, 5 of the 7 were ran the wrong direction. However, I cannot fault the product for my lack of attention, these are great cords and the price is outstanding, just be mindful of your ends while installing.

Be careful when pulling it through conduit
The cable worked perfectly, until we pulled it through a conduit. We used pulling lubricant, but apparently pulled too hard because the cable didn't work after it was pulled through 1.5" conduit.

Great cable that works for long distances
I have my receiver setup across the room so I needed a long HDMI cable to run to my TV. I bought the 50' Fiber Optic one and it works great. 4K picture is clear and no distortion. ARC works well with no issues. One thing to make sure with the fiber optic cables is there is a SOURCE and a DISPLAY end, the ends are not universal. The source end is plugged into my audio receiver and the display end is plugged into my TV. I was worried that ARC wouldn't work because of the whole source/display thing but it all works as it should. I have ARC working from my TV and other sources working from my audio receiver. The cable is fairly thin but that is to be expected. It is very high quality and packaged well.Before viewing this product I didn't know there was such a thing as fiber optic HDMI cables. Once I researched further I found out that is what I needed because I needed 50' and didn't want to skimp on resolution quality. Love the chart they have on here for the cable length and quality. iBirdie were the only ones that actually showed the difference with cable length and quality/resolution. Very happy with this purchase.

Read the labels!
Each end of the cable is labeled source or destination. Must be set up in the correct direction. I learned this the hard way! Cable works just fine. Mine is the 100ft.

Works Until It Didn't
Initially this cable worked well in our home theater however after a little more than a year it stopped working. Not sure if the electronics failed or what but one day turned on the TV and nothing. Had to have two electricians spend 3 hours to remove the TV from the wall, test the old cable, snake a new cable through the walls back to the AV closet and reinstall everything. Not happy at all with this product.

Excellent, light in weight, not bulky
This is a great cable if you're looking for a long HDMI cable that is lightweight and not bulky. Note that this cable is directional (one end is for the input, the other for the output, and you can't reverse them)
