Was sind AOC Kabel?
Und wofür können sie genutzt werden?
Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a cabling technology that accepts the same electrical inputs and outputs as a conventional copper cable, but uses optical fibres ‘between the connectors’.
The cables can consist entirely of optical fibres, but there are also hybrid cables in which only part of the cores are optical. AOC utilises the conversion of electrical to optical signals at the cable ends to improve the speed and distance performance of the cable without compromising compatibility with standard electrical interfaces.
Nowadays, copper cables are increasingly reaching their capacity limits due to ever-increasing demands on data transmission rates and bandwidth, especially when cable sections have to be bridged and connected over longer distances. In the field of fibre optic cables, the limits are often many times greater, so that connections with AOC can now be used in both the network and AV/multimedia sectors.

For example, AOC makes it possible to transmit crystal-clear 4K resolutions in 120 Hertz over 30 metres and beyond without loss.
AOC Hybrid Cable
AOC hybrid cables (Active Optical Cable) are special cables that use a combination of optical and electrical technologies to transmit data. These cables offer several advantages over traditional copper cables:
Data transmission:
AOC hybrid cables can transmit high data rates over longer distances without compromising signal quality. They are particularly useful for applications that require large amounts of data, such as 4K/8K video or high-resolution audio transmissions.
Lightweight:
Due to the use of fibre optic technology, AOC hybrid cables are lighter and more flexible than conventional copper cables, which facilitates installation and simplifies handling.
Resistance to interference:
Because they use optical signals, they are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, which improves signal quality and stability.
Energy efficiency:
AOC cables generally require less energy than copper cables, especially for longer transmission distances.These cables are often used in data centres, for the transmission of high-resolution media and in other applications where high bandwidths and long distances are required.
