FAQs
What is the difference between an active optical cable (AOC) and a standard copper DisplayPort cable?
Active optical cables use fibre optic technology instead of copper wiring. This enables longer cable runs (30m+) without signal loss, reduces electromagnetic interference, and provides a more flexible, slimmer profile. Standard copper cables suffer signal degradation beyond 10-15 metres and are more rigid.
Will this cable work with my existing DisplayPort 1.3 or 1.2 monitor?
Yes. The Astrotek AT-DPAOC-MM-30 is fully backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.2. It will work with any standard DisplayPort input, though you'll only benefit from the features supported by your monitor or display.
Can this cable support 8K resolution on all monitors?
The cable supports 8K@60Hz signalling as per DisplayPort 1.4 specification. However, your monitor must also support 8K@60Hz. Always check your display's specifications before purchasing. The cable is also compatible with 4K@120Hz and other lower resolutions.
Is this cable suitable for gaming displays?
Yes. The cable supports high refresh rates (165Hz at 4K, 144Hz at 2K) and has low latency performance, making it well-suited for gaming monitors and high-performance workstations. The 30-metre length also provides flexibility for desk setups or AV installations.
What does 'active' mean in an active optical cable?
An 'active' optical cable contains built-in electronics and signal converters at each end to convert electrical DisplayPort signals to optical signals and back. This allows the cable to maintain signal integrity over much longer distances than passive copper cables.
What is DSC 1.2a support and why does it matter?
DSC (Display Stream Compression) is a visually lossless compression standard that allows higher resolutions and refresh rates over DisplayPort. DSC 1.2a support enables compatibility with next-generation displays and ensures future-proofing for professional and gaming applications.
Is this cable compatible with USB-C DisplayPort or Thunderbolt?
No. This cable has standard DisplayPort male connectors. It is not compatible with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports. Use an appropriate adapter only if your source device supports standard DisplayPort output via an adapter.
What is the warranty coverage?
The cable is backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Hyetech Australia for warranty claims and support.
