Comparison Between DAC and AOC Cables
There are some differences between AOC active optical
cables and DAC high-speed cables:
a. Power consumption: the power consumption of AOC is
higher than that of DAC;
b. Transmission distance: The farthest transmission
distance of AOC is 300M and DAC is 7M;
c. Transmission media: the material of AOC is optical fiber
but DAC is copper cable;
d. Transmission signals: AOC transmits optical signals
while DAC transmits electrical signals;
e. Price: The price of AOC is much higher than that of DAC
because of the optical fibers and lasers;
