DisplayPort 1.4 Active Optical Cable

AOC, short for Active Optical Cable, is the latest in cabling technology, replacing traditional copper conductors with fibre optical cores alongside a small transmitter and receiver built into the connectors, while copper remains to carry power. The use of fibre allows the cable to be thinner and lighter, removes cable length limitations, eliminates EMC interference from power cables and lighting, and greatly reduces the EMC the cable itself produces. AOC delivers no signal loss over long distances and requires no extenders, boosters, or CAT5e runs, connecting directly between host and device like a standard cable, and is supplied in frustration-free packaging.
