The verdict
Aimed at long runs to a projector or distant TV where a copper cable struggles. It is cheap for an optical cable, but it is uncertified and must be installed the right way round, so test it before running it through a wall. A CL2-rated and a certified version are sold separately by RUIPRO.
RUIPRO's 8K fiber cable is an active optical HDMI cable that the maker rates at up to 48 Gbps, with 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz. It uses a hybrid fiber design that needs no external power, and it is directional: one end is marked SOURCE and the other DISPLAY. Lengths run from 1 m to 100 m. RUIPRO's own spec table lists UHS Certified as No and CL2 rated as No for this standard version.
Strengths
- Optical design reaches lengths up to 100 m, far beyond what copper HDMI 2.1 cables manage.
- Needs no external power according to the maker.
- Lists 48 Gbps, 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz and eARC support.
- Slim, light hybrid cable with a stated lifetime warranty.
Weak spots
- Directional: the SOURCE end must go to the player and the DISPLAY end to the TV.
- The maker lists this version as not UHS certified and not CL2 rated.
- Hybrid fiber cables have a limited bending radius and need careful handling.
- Prices are only from RUIPRO's own store; we could not check independent testing.
Great for
- Long runs to a projector or distant TV
- Installers who want an optical cable and can test it before closing walls
Skip if
- In-wall runs that need a CL2 or CL3 fire rating, unless you buy the CL2 version
- Short runs, where a cheaper copper cable will do

Questions
Is the RUIPRO 8K fiber cable directional?
Yes. The maker's installation notes say the SOURCE end connects to the player or console and the DISPLAY end to the TV, projector or monitor.
Is it officially certified Ultra High Speed?
No. RUIPRO's specification table for this standard version lists UHS Certified as No. The company sells a separate certified version.
