Introduction
Thank you for choosing the active DisplayPort 2.0 fiber optic AOC cable. With this cable, you can transmit DisplayPort signals up to 100m without external power supply. The cable is a hybrid cable containing both optical fibers and copper wires.
Our DisplayPort Active Hybrid Cable is the most competitive DisplayPort connection solution on the market. It supports a maximum data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel, is lightweight, flexible, and has a very small bending radius of only 48 mm.
With the embedded advanced optical engine, the DisplayPort Hybrid Cable provides full signal integrity.
Intended Use
Use is only permitted indoors, i.e., not outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g., in bathrooms or similar, must be strictly avoided.
For safety and approval reasons (CE), do not modify and/or alter the product. Using the product for purposes other than those described above may damage the product. Furthermore, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.
Please read the user manual carefully and keep it for future reference. Only pass the product on to third parties together with the user manual.
Safety Instructions
Please read the user manual carefully and pay particular attention to the safety instructions. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this user manual, we accept no liability for resulting personal or material damage. Furthermore, in such cases the warranty/guarantee will become void.
This product is not a toy. Keep it away from children and pets. Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly. It could become a dangerous toy for children. Risk of suffocation!
The maximum tensile load of the cable is 300N (30kg). Never pull the cable with a higher load. The minimum bending radius of the hybrid cable is approx. 48 mm. Bending the cable below this radius will irreversibly damage it.
Beware of trip hazards; ensure the cable is installed securely.
Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong shocks, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapors, and solvents.
Do not subject the product to mechanical stress. If safe operation is no longer possible, take the product out of service and protect it from unintended use.
Safe operation is no longer guaranteed if the product:
- shows visible damage
- no longer functions properly
- has been stored for an extended period under unfavorable environmental conditions, or
- has been subjected to significant transport stresses.
Handle the product carefully. The product may be damaged by impacts, shocks, or even falls from a low height.
Also observe the safety instructions and operating manuals of the other devices to which the product is connected.
Consult a specialist if you have any doubts regarding the operation, safety, or connection of the product.

Operation and Connection Diagram
Note: The FX-I260 series is designed to be used with a +5V passive Power Delivery provided over the DisplayPort connection by the source device. This +5V connection, as well as the power supply for the integrated optical fiber module, is transmitted over a pure standard copper connection to the Receiver. Please ensure that the source device can supply more than 500 mA.
Caution: This cable can only be used in one direction. The connectors are labeled “SOURCE” and “DISPLAY”. Each plug must be inserted into the correct device to avoid signal loss.
Note: Before using this cable, make sure that all devices connected to the AOC DisplayPort cable are switched off and not powered.
Connect the “SOURCE” side of the DisplayPort plug to the Transmitter and the “DISPLAY” side of the other DisplayPort plug to the Receiver/display. This works without additional power supply.
Note: We advise against using additional cables or adapters between the connectors, as this may weaken the signal transmission performance.
- Switch on the DisplayPort source device and the display.
- If the system does not function properly, please read the chapter FAQ – Troubleshooting in the next section.
FAQ - Troubleshooting
The display shows:
• A black screen
• A distorted image
• Interference noises
- Check that the connectors are in the correct sockets of the source and Receiver devices; check the markings on the plugs.
- Ensure that the DisplayPort plugs are firmly inserted into the DisplayPort source and the DisplayPort display.
- Verify that the DisplayPort source and the DisplayPort display are switched on and properly started.
- Reset the system by unplugging and reinserting the “Source” and “Display” connectors.
- Restart the system with the connected DisplayPort cable.
