Description

StarTech 8K-AOC-30M-DP-CABLE 30M Hybrid AOC DisplayPort 1.4 Cable

Overview

This 30-meter (98.4 ft) hybrid active optical cable (AOC) extends DisplayPort 1.4 signals over a long distance without signal degradation. It's engineered for high-bandwidth applications requiring 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, making it suitable for demanding video wall deployments, digital signage, or connecting high-performance workstations in large facilities. The cable's CMP rating ensures it meets stringent safety standards for installation in plenum spaces above drop ceilings, common in commercial buildings and data centers.

Compatibility

The 8K-AOC-30M-DP-CABLE is compatible with any DisplayPort 1.4 source device and DisplayPort 1.4 or higher display or receiver. This includes modern graphics cards, professional workstations, and high-resolution monitors. It supports up to 32.4Gbps bandwidth, essential for uncompressed 8K 30Hz or compressed 8K 60Hz video streams. The cable also carries up to 32 channels of audio, supporting multi-channel surround sound formats.

Installation Notes

This active optical cable is bus-powered, drawing power from the DisplayPort source device, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, with an aluminum-polyester foil shield to minimize electromagnetic interference. The wire gauge is 28/30 AWG, and the cable has an outer diameter of 4.8mm. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
