Special featuresThis active optical cable (AOC) is the perfect solution for transferring large amounts of high-quality data over long distances with virtually no loss.Thanks to its full metal housing, the cable is very resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).Together with its CPR certification, this is the ideal cable for use in buildings and offices as a fixed installation between source and display.Because the plugs convert the electrical signals into optical signals (light), the signal can be transmitted over longer lengths than with ordinary copper cables. Furthermore, the cable is very thin and flexible.It is also not necessary to add an external power supply, which is common when using copper cables over long lengths.
