Black Box Active Optical Cables Debut
Black Box Corporation today introduced its Active Optical Cable product range, which enables transmission of 4K video and audio with resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4 and DisplayPort signals with resolutions up to 8K @ 60 Hz 4:4:4 for more than 200 meters (7680×4320 at 60 Hz or 32.4 Gbps).
In addition, supporting the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 specifications, the cables provide audio, including PCM eight-channel, DTS-HD and Dolby Digital True HD surround sound.
