How To Select (AOC) HDMI Active Optical Cable

there are four aspects that need attention:

AOC product generation background

AOC module design

AOC cable process requirements

AOC finished product quality control

AOC is the acronym for “Active Optical Cable”. With this design, the idea is to convert the high-speed digital signal, such as HDMI/DP/USB, into optical signal, as traditional copper cable has limitations on transmission distance due to its natural physical properties. HDMI/DP/USB AOC all take fiber as special medium, in theory, the bandwidth can be increased without limitation and there is no signal attenuation over longer distances. The market always shows great potential need for long distance transmission applications. It creates greater possibilities of applications for HDMI/DP/USB etc.

Nowadays, the application of high-definition video is becoming more and more popular, from personal mobile phones to commercial Screens, industrial and medical, etc. More and more scenarios are provided by AOC application requirements and AOC will offer even more applications with the arrival of 5G.

The module is mainly composed of the main chip + laser. Some modules are composed of main chip + laser + DDC buffer chip. At present, the most common in the market is the German brand chip (Silicon line) + Phillips matrix laser (VCSEL), and some modules have also added Texas Instruments (TI) DDC Buffer Chip which is used for making longer cable assemblies. mslforce us the Silicon Line chip and Philips Laser high performance module.
