The usb type c connector is smaller than conventional consumer electronics interfaces.
Active optical cable usb.
It is conveniently port powered and does not utilize any repeater hubs making it easier to install through conduits.
Passive cables are liable to degrade the data they carry due to channel impairments including attenuation crosstalk and group velocity distortion.
Usb 3 1 technology allows for high data rates but it is quite limited in its effective cable length.
With a cable diameter in the range of 3mm it is thinner and lighter than copper cable easing installation and handling.
After much research and failed efforts using active usb cables to attempt the run i found this product.
The cable is rated superspeed and carries up to 5gbps.
Intercon s new hybrid active optical hao assembly breaks through the cable length barrier and provides a rugged high flex solution for those applications where a high flex long distance solution is needed.
Active optical cable aoc for av applications take ultra high bandwidth audio video the distance professional a v applications require solutions that can support the ever increasing ultra high bandwidth video of today at the distances they need to reach and at a price that won t break the bank.
In active cables a circuit using one or several.
The usb 3 0 active optical cable aoc is designed to be compliant with superspeed usb electrical specifications offering seamless interoperability between existing usb 3 0 hosts hubs and devices ensuring a trouble free plug and play experience.
Active optical cable aoc is a cabling technology that accepts same electrical inputs as a traditional copper cable but uses optical fiber between the connectors.
Active cables are copper cables for data transmission that use an electronic circuit to boost the performance of the cable.
The optical to electrical conversion engine ensures transmission of high bandwidth at low power consumption.
This shielded active optical fiber cable supports the full bandwidth of usb 3 0 and can be used to extend all usb 3 0 products.
Aoc uses electrical to optical conversion on the cable ends to improve speed and distance performance of the cable without sacrificing compatibility with standard electrical.
I expected an optical cable solution to be more expensive than the active cable solutions but to my surprise this cable was half as much as some of those cables at this length.
This cable works flawlessly.
In addition the connector is advantageous in that it can be plugged in a reversible manner and substitutes as various existing interfaces.
