What is AOC? AOC is short for Active Optical Cable which is the latest in cabling technology. AOC removes the copper conductors and replaces them with fibre optical 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 optical 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
