Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a Celerity Fiber Optic HDMI cable better than a copper cable?

Fiber optics work better for sending digital signals such as HDMI which include audio, video and data information. These signals travel faster and farther without degradation over fiber optics.


Do I need any extra items to use Celerity Fiber Optic HDMI?

No.  It’s as easy as plug and play. No power adapters or extender boxes are necessary.  Celerity’s technology is embedded inside the connectors.


Are fiber optic cables subject to interference?

No. Interference from appliances, wireless devices, computers and other home and business electronics will not affect Celerity Fiber Optics. You only get the best picture quality.


Are fiber optic cables durable?

Yes. They are actually quite strong. Inside the cable jacket are a layer of strength members which are part of the fiber optic cable construction to provide durability and pulling strength. They help to protect the tiny, optical glass fibers.


Why is the Celerity Fiber Optic HDMI “detachable?”

This is so that the Celerity fiber optic cable between components can be easily installed in tight, hidden spaces and in conduit when required. The detachable HDMI connector is easily attached to the miniature fiber optic plug after pre- wiring.
