What Is an HDMI Active Optical Cable?
An HDMI active optical cable is designed to transmit HDMI signals through optical fibers.
These cables surpass traditional copper wire cables by enabling longer-distance transmissions while ensuring superior video and audio quality. They work by converting electrical signals into optical signals for transmission, then reverting them to electrical signals at the destination.
Widely applied in digital signage, conference rooms, concert halls, and medical facilities, HDMI active optical cables consist of optical fibers, light sources, light detectors, connectors, and electronic circuits. Key advantages include extended transmission range, enhanced video and audio quality, noise immunity, flexibility, and safety.
