Understanding HDMI AOCH Cables (Active Optical Cables Hybrid)

In the market, you’ll find various types of HDMI AOC cables, such as HDMI 1.4 AOC, HDMI 2.0 AOC, and HDMI 2.1 AOC. However, nobody seems to provide information about how HDMI AOC cables are made. Today, we will provide a brief overview of HDMI AOC.

Firstly, let’s understand what HDMI AOC stands for. HDMI AOC is short for HDMI Active Optical Cable. As the name suggests, it’s an active cable, which means it contains a built-in chipset:

1. Examine the internal structure of the HDMI connector, where you will find an integrated chipset. The AOC chipset in HDMI is distinct from regular Active Copper HDMI cables. This chip performs the task of converting electrical signals into optical signals that are transmitted through optical fibers. Therefore, this module includes components such as an electro-optical converting chip, VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), a lens, a jumper, and other related elements.

2. Another important aspect to understand is that all active optical cables are unidirectional. This is because HDMI signals are transmitted using optical fibers. In other words, there are distinct roles for the Source (the device sending the signal) and the Display (the device receiving the signal), so it’s crucial to determine the cable’s direction before installing it.

3. Lastly, let’s discuss the cable’s construction, which is a hybrid design. Typically, these cables consist of 4 optical fibers and 7 copper wires. The optical fibers are employed for high-speed signal transmission, while the copper wires are used for controlling signal communication, including functions like HPD (Hot Plug Detection), DDC channel (Display Data Channel), power transmission, and so on.
