Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an Active Optical Cable (AOC) over a standard copper Type-C cable?
While copper cables are limited to short distances (usually under 3 meters for 10Gbps), AOC cables use optical fibers, allowing them to span up to 100 meters at full 10Gbps speed while remaining highly immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Does this Type-C AOC cable support both data and power delivery?
Yes, our hybrid cable design features optical fibers for high-speed data and integrated copper wires to support Power Delivery (PD), ensuring connected devices remain powered.
Can we request custom lengths, jacket materials, and logo printing for OEM orders?
Absolutely. As a direct manufacturer, we provide full OEM/ODM services. You can customize cable lengths, choose specific jacket materials (like LSZH or TPU), and request laser-engraved logos on the connector shells.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom engineering projects?
We offer flexible MOQs to support both initial prototype evaluation and large-scale volume production for our B2B partners. Contact our engineering team for a precise quote.
Overview and Application Notes
Product Overview: Industrial USB 3.1 Type C to C Active Optical Cable
Engineered for high-bandwidth data transfer across extended distances, our USB 3.1 Type C to C Active Optical Cable (AOC) bridges the gap between traditional copper limitations and modern high-speed industrial requirements. By integrating advanced optoelectronic conversion chips directly into the Type-C connectors, this cable transmits data via light over optical fibers, ensuring absolute zero signal degradation up to 100 meters.
As a trusted direct-to-factory manufacturer, EDOM Electronics provides reliable, high-performance connection solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of North American and European distributors, OEM integrators, and equipment manufacturers.
Core Technical Advantages
-
10 Gbps SuperSpeed Data: Leverages the USB 3.1 Gen 2 protocol to deliver lightning-fast data transfer rates, perfectly suited for massive data syncing and high-resolution video streams.
-
Long-Distance & Zero Latency: Overcomes the standard 3-meter copper length barrier. Our AOC solution transmits pristine signals over long distances without the need for daisy-chained repeaters.
-
EMI/RFI Immunity: Optical fiber transmission completely isolates the data signal from electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for electrically noisy factory floors, medical facilities, or broadcasting studios.
-
Complete OEM Customization: We offer tailored B2B solutions including custom cable lengths, specialized outer jackets (such as LSZH for plenum spaces), and private-label laser engraving for your brand.
