AudioQuest 16.4 Feet Cherry Cola HDMI Hybrid Active Optical Cable - CHERRYCOLA5M
Cherry Cola Hybrid Active Optical Cable (HAOC) uses a newly developed, highly advanced electro-optical conversion module and four glass-fiber optical conductors to reliably carry 18Gbps data packages, including 4K Ultra HD and HDR, for distances up to 100ft/30.5m. AudioQuest's sophisticated Noise-Dissipation System combines RF noise-absorbing carbon and directionality-controlled silver-plated conductors to minimize the distortion caused by RF interference, ensuring a fully immersive entertainment experience. Further, for applications that require low-smoke, low-flame characteristics, Cherry Cola uses a plenum-rated jacket.
Features
- 4K/8K
AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video up to 8K/30 (8-bit, 4:2:0), which is 7680 x 4320 resolution (over 33 million pixels) at up to 30 frames-per-second (fps). 24 and 30 fps are the frame rates for almost all movies and many TV shows - 18G
All AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables are guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 8K/30 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery, and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) - eARC
HDMI hardware’s previous ARC capabilities max out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound. Not only do all generations of AudioQuest HDMI cables “with Ethernet” support ARC, but in order to ensure superior audio performance, the ARC-channel conductor-pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the 4 pairs that carry information to the TV. Upcoming HDMI 2.1 hardware supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X. All AudioQuest HDMI cables “with Ethernet” have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced sonic capabilities - HDR
AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables support High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights as well as greater color saturation and brightness. Dynamic HDR (HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision for example) enables frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program - Newly Developed Electro-Optical Conversion Module
The new-generation active circuitry is significantly more reliable than that of earlier Active Optical Cable (AOC) modules, ensuring outstanding performance for applications up to 100ft/30.5m

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cable supports video resolutions up to 8K at 30 frames per second (8-bit, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling), including 4K Ultra HD content. It is capable of handling 24 and 30 fps, which are standard frame rates for most movies and TV shows, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-definition content.
-
It features a sophisticated Noise-Dissipation System that combines RF noise-absorbing carbon materials with directionally controlled silver-plated drain conductors. This design helps minimize distortion caused by radio frequency interference, resulting in a cleaner signal and an immersive audio-visual experience.
-
Yes, the cable supports eARC, which allows for uncompressed, lossless high-resolution multi-channel audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. The internal conductor pairs are designed to ensure superior audio performance by managing signal directionality effectively.
-
Thanks to the advanced electro-optical conversion module and glass-fiber optical conductors, the cable can reliably carry signals up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) without degradation, making it ideal for long-distance HDMI connections that require high bandwidth and quality.
-
Yes, it has a plenum-rated jacket, which means it meets fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces such as HVAC ducts and plenums. This makes it suitable for commercial or residential installations where fire safety regulations are a consideration.
