In the 8K perspective, 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cable and 8K HDMI copper cable have been widely used in home audio and commercial fields, and the biggest difference between the two products is the transmission medium. AOC, also known as Active Optical Cable, is a new type of high-speed transmission cable that utilizes photoelectric conversion technology, suitable for high bandwidth and high-speed data transmission applications. Copper cables, on the other hand, use electricity as a medium to transmit signals and are traditional transmission cables. Hangalaxy will share with you the relevant knowledge of the performance, cost, and application environment of the two material products, 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cable and 8K HDMI copper cable.
1、 The difference between 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cable and 8K HDMI copper cable is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:
1. Transmission distance
7680x4320@60Hz The transmission distance of 8K HDMI signal is influenced by many factors, such as wire quality, signal interference, environmental conditions, etc. Under normal circumstances, 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cables can transmit longer video and audio signals, such as the HDMI2.1 hybrid fiber optic cable S series products of the Huaguang Yuneng Hangalaxy brand, with a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters, and the HDMI2.1 pure optical series with a transmission distance of over 100 meters, with zero delay and zero frame loss.
And the signal loss of 8K HDMI copper wire will be very obvious after transmitting for about ten meters.
2. Transmission speed
Under normal circumstances, 8K HDMI AOC has a faster transmission speed and less signal loss than copper wire 8K HDMI. However, the transmission speed of 8K HDMI AOC fiber lines is mainly affected by laser, photoelectric converter, chip scheme, and fiber components. So when purchasing 8K HDMI fiber optic cables, it is important to consider factors such as signal transmission distance, transmission rate, process, and material. It is recommended to choose reliable optical communication brand products if possible. Although the price is slightly higher, the consistency, compatibility, and stability of the products are relatively more guaranteed.
3. Immunity
8K HDMI AOC has better anti-interference performance than copper wire 8K HDMI, mainly because optical signal transmission is not affected by electromagnetic interference and can transmit signals more stably.
4. Energy consumption situation
8K HDMI AOC is more environmentally friendly and low-power than copper wire 8K HDMI, which can reduce energy waste. In contrast, copper wire generates relatively high levels of noise and heat.
5. Cost
8K HDMI AOC has a higher cost compared to copper wire 8K HDMI, mainly due to the higher cost of optical fiber materials and the relatively lower cost of copper wire materials.
2、 The usage environment of 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cable and 8K HDMI copper cable
There is not much difference between 8K HDMI AOC fiber optic cable and 8K HDMI copper cable in terms of application scenarios, mainly depending on the actual needs and usage environment of the user.
Here are some scenarios where two types of wires are suitable:
8K HDMI copper cable applicable scenarios:
-Short distance connections, such as between devices such as televisions, computers, and gaming consoles
