Core Technical Details

Uninterrupted Data Flow Over Distance

Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology is a significant advancement. It replaces traditional copper cores with fibre optics for data transmission. This design ensures that signals remain strong and consistent, even across a 10-meter length. You can rely on stable connections for your critical peripherals and devices.

Enhanced Signal Integrity

The fibre optical cores within this cable offer a key advantage: immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Unlike standard copper cables, AOC technology prevents interference from nearby power cables or lighting. This results in a cleaner signal path and more reliable operation for sensitive equipment.

Streamlined Setup and Portability

By using fibre optics, the cable itself is notably thinner and lighter than conventional long-reach solutions. This makes installation much simpler, especially in complex environments. It also means less bulk to manage, improving overall system aesthetics and portability.

High-Speed Performance

This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1, delivering a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s. This speed is crucial for applications requiring rapid data exchange, such as transferring large files or connecting high-bandwidth peripherals. We ensure your devices communicate effectively and efficiently.

Before You Order

• Confirm your host device has a USB-A port.
• Check your target device requires a USB-C connection.
• Verify your setup benefits from a 10-meter cable length.
