Fiber-optic technology allows Active Optical Cables (AOC) to transmit ultra-high-bandwidth data signals over distances that copper cannot. Copper cables struggle to transmit 4K60 a standard 5 meters (16.4 feet), and only then with a bulky, inflexible construction. At 8K60 video resolutions, the length, size, and expense of the cable get even worse, in some cases ruling it out based on spec along. To achieve longer distances, copper solutions need to switch to modular transmitter/receiver extenders, while all-in-one AOC cables can easily support DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidths of 32.4 Gbps over hundreds of meters.
High-end AV applications today don't just need the best video resolutions, but a solution that can display them while also providing all of the features necessary to support their content. Active Optical Cables can do just that, providing 8K60 video resolutions while also supporting the full feature set of the DisplayPort 1.4 specification. They deliver high-dynamic-range (HDR) video for expansive contrast ratio and color accuracy, while also supporting DPCP content protection which is necessary to display the latest content. Also supported are BT.2020 colorimetry and 21:9 cinema aspect ratio, as well as EDID, CEC, DDC, and more, making active optical a full-featured solution for professional AV installs.
Active Optical Cable also provides immersive audio that is essential for AV applications. These cables support PCM 8-Channel, DTS-HD, and Dolby Digital True HD Surround Sound audio for theater-quality sound, and can transmit up to 32 audio channels with 1536-kHz sampling rate.
There is no software, external power, or additional hardware needed for an AOC to work. To install an Active Optical Cable (AOC), a technician simply connects it to a source and a display - nothing more. No expert training or guidance needed. It's as easy as installing a common HDMI cable at home. This simple, all-in-one cable solution also provides premium reliability when compared with alternative solutions. To achieve the same high-bandwidth transmission and extended distance,would have to utilize an over CAT5 or over fiber extender kit. These kits are costly and require transmitter and receiver units, in addition to the potential points of failure that come with them. With AOC's,simply plug and play like an ordinary cable, leaving it to reliably transmitaudio/video signal without interruption.
