• Active Optical Cables use both copper and fiber conductors, for reliable long-distance transmission over a lighter and more flexible cable
• No external power required
• Polyethylene insulation
• Orange+Black PVC housing with gold-plated connector
• Active Optical Cables or AOC’s are directional because of the conversions that are done at the HDMI heads
• AOC’s provide much higher bandwidth capabilities than stranded copper cables and at farther distances
• AOC’s can also reduce materials needed for installation by providing an alternative to running fiber cable to individual HDMI cables over fiber baluns
• AOC”s provide much more resistance to electromagnetic interference as well as lower latency because of signals being transmitted at the speed of light.
