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
The armoured cables consist of stainless steel armour under the TPE jacket with an overall layer of Kevlar armour and the 4 fibre cores wrapped in Kevlar armour for further protection.
