WHAT IS ACTIVE OPTICAL?

A growing demand for high-speed connections is apparent across a variety of markets and devices because of the recent growth in high-definition graphics and high-speed communications. Electrical copper harnesses, on the other hand, have limitations in transmission speed and distribution distance, and optical harnesses require a clean operation and precision mating in order to function properly.

Consequently, a new solution must be developed that provides easy handling and can also deliver high-speed and long-distance transmission. Active Optical Cables (AOC) are a cabling technology that accepts the same electrical inputs as a conventional copper cable, but provides optical fiber connections between the two. As a result of this process, a unique, custom-tailored product is created, one that is able to handle high-quality video transmission over a greater distance and is also perfect for environments with excessive electromagnetic and RF interference.
