C2G AOC
Hold when you need fiber/EMI immunity or plenum CMP for a long sanctuary HDMI run; default copper is Active HDMI 50ft.
Why this is here: second cables SKU after Active HDMI. It is not a camera. It is the fiber AOC hold when a Move SE on HCM-1 to an ATEM Mini run needs EMI immunity or plenum CMP.
A C2G Performance Series High Speed HDMI Active Optical Cable. Hero MFR is C2G41484. Fifty feet, plenum CMP, 18Gbps High Speed (4K at 60Hz). Fiber for EMI. Directional: SOURCE at the camera, DISPLAY at the switcher. Optional USB-C power pigtail on the display end. This cable does not replace Active HDMI, Move SE, an ATEM Mini, or HCM-1.
Who it is for
Start with fiber and code. Whether copper already holds Sunday, or the path needs fiber, EMI immunity, or plenum CMP, is the real question.
| Need / room | What you actually get | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Back-wall PTZ to ATEM Mini, copper already holds 1080p | 50ft active braided CL3 HDMI, about $100 street | Recommend Active HDMI. Default buy. |
| EMI is real, copper flakes, or the run is long fiber | 50ft C2G Performance Series AOC, plenum CMP, about $327 street | Hold C2G AOC. This page. |
| Need cheaper church fiber, not plenum | BlueRigger 50ft 8K CL3 AOC, about $70 street | Hold BlueRigger CL3 as adjacent alt, not the hero. |
| Building code wants CMP, budget plenum is enough | CableLeader 50ft HDMI 2.0 plenum AOC, about $59 street | Hold CableLeader plenum as budget CMP. |
| Want 48Gbps Ultra High Speed plenum | StarTech 50ft HDMI 2.1 hybrid AOC CMP, about $167 street | Hold StarTech hybrid AOC. 1080p Move SE does not need 48Gbps. |
| Already have a working HDMI run that holds 1080p Sunday | A cable you do not need | Skip. |
If you only buy one HDMI run for a small church with a Move SE on the back wall and an ATEM Mini, buy Active HDMI (PID 13760). Buy C2G AOC only when fiber, EMI, or CMP is the real reason.
Volunteer skill
- One person. The AOC is directional: SOURCE at the camera, DISPLAY at the switcher. Swap the ends and the picture dies.
- Optional USB-C power pigtail on the display end if the source cannot power the optics. Keep a USB-C to USB-A jumper in the booth bag.
- CMP if the run goes in a plenum (dropped ceiling return air). CL3 copper or cheaper CL3 fiber is enough for many in-wall church paths that are not plenum.
- Do not force the bend radius at the PTZ HDMI port. Fiber is less forgiving than copper at a kink.
- Measure the path with slack. Do not stretch a 50ft to a 51ft corner.
Standout details
Facts from the Legrand AV C2G41484 page, the iPC Store cart, and live retailer listings (fetched 2026-09-16). Prefer C2G / Legrand AV for spec. Prefer iPC Store live cart for the hero street price.
- 18Gbps High Speed HDMI. 4K at 60Hz. HDMI 2.0 class. HDMI 2.1 grade parts, still an 18Gbps AOC, not 48Gbps Ultra High Speed.
- Fiber strand construction for EMI/RFI immunity. Lighter than a 50ft copper run. Good when copper flakes or the path is electrically noisy.
- Plenum CMP jacket. Commercial Performance Series. Hero MFR C2G41484. 50ft (15.2m). ASIN B0BT7WRRXZ.
- Directional (SOURCE to DISPLAY). Source end has a tag. Optional USB-C power pigtail on the display end.
- 1080p Move SE does not need 48Gbps Ultra High Speed. 18Gbps AOC is enough for this job.
- Default small-church run is still Active HDMI (Monoprice PID 13760), about $100 street. Most rooms do not need $327 plenum fiber.
- Adjacent BlueRigger 50ft 8K fiber CL3 AOC: Amazon B0CY497X1M about $69.99 this fetch. Cheaper church fiber. CL3, not plenum CMP. Hold as alt, not the hero. This page closes the C2G AOC pointer from the Active HDMI listing.
- Adjacent StarTech 50ft HDMI 2.1 hybrid AOC CMP: Amazon B0CVS3KJYY about $166.53 this fetch. Plenum and 48Gbps. Hold unless you actually need Ultra High Speed.
- Adjacent CableLeader 50ft HDMI 2.0 plenum AOC: about $58.98 this fetch. Budget CMP. Hold as the cheap plenum alt.
- Short-room Premium HDMI: 25ft passive Certified Premium, about $31 street. Recommend when the measured path is about 25ft or less. It does not replace Active HDMI on a long copper run.

Honest verdict
Hold this 50ft C2G Performance Series AOC. It is the fiber step-up, not the default sanctuary HDMI buy.
Default copper is still Active HDMI (about $100). Churches often do not need $327 plenum. Buy C2G AOC when copper flakes, EMI is real, the run is long fiber, or building code wants CMP.
Hold cheaper BlueRigger CL3 (about $70) when you want church fiber and you do not need plenum. Hold StarTech hybrid AOC (about $167) when you want 48Gbps CMP. Hold CableLeader plenum (about $59) as budget CMP. A short room uses Premium HDMI (about $31). A long copper run stays Active HDMI.
Skip if you already have a working run. This is a cable, not a camera, switcher, or mount.
Honest limits: the cable is directional, many churches do not need CMP, 1080p Move SE does not need 48Gbps, and a $327 commercial AOC is the wrong buy when $100 copper already holds Sunday.
