OptoHD/OptoDP/OptoUSB Assemblies

Molex's OptoUSB, OptoDP, and OptoHD AOC assemblies offer plug-and-play implementation, helping to meet increased data demands. The use of AOC assemblies in the consumer market has been hindered due to the complicated termination process. These assemblies eliminate the need for termination. High-interference environments such as industrial automation’s manufacturing facilities and surgical theaters face signal integrity challenges due to EMI/RFI. The fiber strand construction in AOC assemblies reduces the risk of EMI/RFI.

As videos proliferate in the medical and industrial automation markets, signal connections are pressed to keep up with increasing data needs. Upgrading HDBaseT cables and connectors every couple of years to keep up with demands can add significantly to infrastructure costs and decrease profit margins. OptoUSB, OptoDP, and OptoHD AOC assemblies can transmit ultra HD (4K and 8K) video, which will meet today’s data demands as well as tomorrow’s.

When consumer displays are more than 3 m from their source, copper cables often need multiple connections to cover the distance. That, in turn, creates potential connectivity failures at multiple points. OptoUSB, OptoDP, and OptoHD AOC assemblies’ lengths are up to 100 m, eliminating the need for multiple connection points, thereby reducing the possibility of connectivity failure.
