<p>An Active Optical Cable (AOC) for HDMI is a hybrid cable that combines fiber optics for data transmission and copper for power supply. Unlike traditional HDMI cables, AOC HDMI can transmit 4K UHD at 60Hz over long distances (up to 100 meters) without signal loss or the need for an external power source on both sides. </p>
<p>Standard copper HDMI cables suffer from signal degradation beyond 5 meters, whereas AOC HDMI cables can maintain full HDMI 2.0 performance (18 Gbps, 4K UHD at 60Hz) up to 100 meters due to their fiber optic core. Additionally, they offer better EMI shielding and ruggedized connectors. </p>
<p>The AOC HDMI FTV is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed by Amphenol SOCAPEX embedded in the 38999-shell type size 17. It’s a solution plug & play making installation easy and efficient. </p>
<p>No, the AOC HDMI FTV does not require an external power supply. It uses power from the source device, simplifying installation and ensuring a clean, efficient setup. </p>
<p>The AOC HDMI FTV features a polyurethane cable material for durability, flexibility and deployment on the field. The shell is available in several materials and platings, including aluminum with nickel, black zinc nickel, olive drab cadmium, tin-zinc, stainless steel and marine bronze, ensuring the highest standards of quality and durability. </p>
<p>Traditional copper HDMI cables degrade over distances greater than 5 meters, limiting their use in long-distance setups. The AOC HDMI FTV solves this by using fiber optics, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted signal transmission with zero latency or loss, even over 100 meters. It’s the ideal solution for high-performance HDMI extension in both industrial and military applications.</p>
<p>The key benefits for customers using the AOC HDMI FTV are</p>
<ul>
<li>Cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive repeaters or multiple HDMI devices.</li>
<li>Simplified installation: One HDMI optical cable can cover up to 100 meters, reducing complexity and cost.</li>
<li>Sustainable: The AOC HDMI cable reduces the use of raw materials and electronic components, making it an eco-friendly choice. </li>
</ul>
<p>Yes, the AOC HDMI FTV was awarded in 2024 the EURONAVAL Special ICT Innovation Prize in recognition of its groundbreaking technology and role in improving battlefield communication systems and armored vehicle HDMI transmission. </p>
<ul>
<li>Plug with cordset (Shell Type 6)</li>
<li>Square flange receptacle (Shell Type 2)</li>
<li>Jam nut receptacle (Shell Type 7)</li>
</ul>
<p>Each option comes with different plating materials and protective caps for customization based on environmental needs.</p>
<p>We have flexibility of configuration. If you require a reinforced connector on both sides, it’s possible but please <a href="https://support.amphenol-socapex.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new" target="_blank">consult us</a>. </p>
<p>The cable's hybrid fiber-copper design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), while the MIL-DTL-38999 connectors with EMI shielding provide additional protection against external electromagnetic fields, making it ideal for secure data transmission in mission-critical operations. <br> </p>
