Benefits of Active Optical Cables Flawless Extension of Ultra-High-Bandwidth Video Active Optical Cables utilise fibre-optic technology that supports expansive bandwidth and can easily handle the highest video resolutions available today. Fibre technology is built into the AOC connectors, converting the electrical signal from the source into optical for transmission over fibre, and then back to electrical for display on a monitor. Whether transmitting the ultra-high-definition 4K60 resolutions of today, the 8K60 resolutions of tomorrow or even higher resolutions in the future, AOCs can...

Positioning of Active Optical Cables (AOC) in AV Extensions Standard copper video cables are the typical choice for transmitting AV signals short distances. However, as resolutions reach 4K60, copper cabling starts getting bulkier, and achieving a standard distance of 5 metres becomes increasingly difficult. This problem will only get worse as 8K solutions become more common, and as video resolutions continue to expand, copper cables will either have to get shorter or become so big, inflexible and pricey that they will no longer be an attractive solution.

AV extenders that combine extension with splitting and/or switching are even more complex and expensive, requiring numerous devices to accomplish the desired result. A copper or fibre AV extender solution with a splitter and/or switch built into the transmitter unit would be required, along with multiple receiver units to connect to all of the monitors. If that kind of solution is not available, one would have to combine a standard splitter or switch with multiple extender kits to get the same result but with a much higher risk of incompatibility problems.

Active Optical Cable (AOC) in AV Applications Digital Signage The most discrete solution to connect media players or any other AV source to 4K or 8K displays. AOCs have no need for power supplies or bulky extender units that won’t fit behind today’s ultra-thin screens. Medical Imagery Deliver MRI or X-ray images to doctors’ meeting rooms or the OR with precise, lossless image reproduction. Due to their high EMI/RFI immunity and absence of external power supplies, AOCs are superior to alternative solutions, such as AV extenders, in these applications. Video Walls Connect remote UHD sources...
