Fiber Optic to make HDMI cable

[Johndrew]

I have about 500 feet of 2 fiber (GCC 2 FSM UNFS DWD) which was used by CenturyTel. It has two(2) fibers one is orange and the other is blue.

Can I use that to make a HDMI cable, if so how?

Thanks for your usual support.

Pretty sure this can not be done.

Sell it and use the proceeds to buy an HDMI cable.

Wrong material and wrong number of pairs.

hdmi cables can be had for cheap, no real point in making your own. If you want inexpensive and quality cables, check out monoprice.com firefold.com and bluejeanscables.com

It is not a do-it-yourself project
I believe there is a cable vendor, may be advertising here at AH that has fiber cable for this purpose for long to very long runs. It is not cheap. You need a box at both ends to convert the electrical signal to light signals in a fiber and back at the other end. Similar in principal to the fiber digital audio.

Why do I get the thanks?

Because I like to disagree with people.

If you are using computer grade fiber optical cable then you have a number of solutions available for you to send HDMI over a long distance if you use HDMI to fiber adapters.

That first one will give you 1,000 feet of extension which should cover most people.

Extron has some DVI to fiber converters/extenders but I don't think they are HDCP compliant so you would need to find a product which removes HDCP encryption for HDMI/DVI.
