AOC is short for Active Optical Cable which is the latest in cabling technology. AOC removes the copper conductors and replaces them with fibre optic cores and a small transmitter and receiver in the connectors. Copper cores still remain to carry power along the cable. Why Professionals Are Choosing AOC? The use of fibre optic cores allows the cable to be thinner and lighter The barriers of cable length is no longer a problem By using fibre optical cores EMC interference from power cables and lighting is no longer an issue. The cables also produce much less EMC themselves No signal loss over long distances No extenders boosters or runs of CAT5e needed. These simply connect to your host and device like a standard cable Our AOC comes in frustration free packaging Specification Fibre Optic DisplayPort Cable Length 20m Supports up to 8k@60Hz resolution DisplayPort 1.4 HBR 3 Metal Connectors 4 Fibre cores  / 8 Copper cores Cable Outer Diameter 4.8mm CPR rated Frustration free packaging This cable must be connected with the Source connector & Display connector connected the correct way round
