Black Box DisplayPort 1.4 Active Optical Cable 15M

Wideband UHD Transmission across Long Distances

Active Optical Cables (AOC) can provide ultra-high-bandwidth data communications over distances that copper cannot thanks to fiber-optic technology. Copper wires are only just able to transmit 4K60 over a typical 5 meters (16.4 feet), and even then only with a large, rigid design. The cable’s length, bulk, and cost become considerably worse at 8K60 video resolutions, often disqualifying it based on specifications. Copper alternatives require the use of separate transmitter/receiver extenders to achieve larger lengths, but all-in-one AOC cables can readily accommodate DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidths of 32.4 Gbps over distances of hundreds of meters.

Excellent Video Quality

High-end AV applications today need a solution that can display the finest video resolutions while also offering all of the functionality required to support their content, not simply the top video resolutions currently available. In order to provide 8K60 video resolutions and support the entire feature set of the DisplayPort 1.4 specification, Active Optical Cables are able to achieve precisely that. They enable DPCP content protection, which is required to display the most recent content, and transmit high-dynamic-range (HDR) video for a wide contrast ratio and colour fidelity. BT.2020 colorimetry, the 21:9 cinema aspect ratio, EDID, CEC, DDC, and more are all supported, making active optical a fully-featured option for expert AV installations.

Incredible Audio Quality

Moreover, Active Optical Cable offers immersive audio, which is crucial for AV applications. These cables can transmit up to 32 audio channels at a sample rate of 1536 kHz and support PCM 8-Channel, DTS-HD, and Dolby Digital True HD Surround Sound audio for theater-quality sound.

Integrated, Premium Reliability

An AOC does not require any additional hardware, software, or power sources to function. An Active Optical Cable (AOC) requires just that it be connected to a source and a display in order to be installed. No special instruction or advice is required. Installing a typical HDMI cable at home is all that is required. Comparing this straightforward, all-in-one cable solution to other options, it also offers superior reliability. You would need to use an over CAT5 or over-fibre extender kit to get the same high-bandwidth transmission over a longer distance. These kits are expensive and come with possible sources of failure in addition to the need for transmitter and receiver modules.

Thin, flexible, and light

Active Optical Cables (AOC) may easily fit behind today’s ultra-thin displays because they are far thinner than conventional copper cable. These cables also feature a superior bend radius, which makes it simple to route them through confined locations and lowers the possibility of subpar performance when routing wire around curves and corners. This is especially useful for AV applications like video walls that require a lot of sources and monitors to be connected. Many wires must be run through the same space when using video walls, which may result in clutter. AOCs maintain a more organised and clutter-free video wall arrangement since they are far smaller and more flexible than copper cables.
