In the case of a hybrid cable, some of the data is transmitted via optical fibers (light signals) and the other part via copper wires.
The advantage of such an active optical cable is that it can achieve much longer transmission distances, because light signals are much less sensitive compared to electrical signals. In addition, hybrid cables are lighter and have a smaller diameter than pure copper cables. (for comparable lengths).
USB-C is becoming increasingly popular. In addition to tablets and smartphones, this standard is also used in workstations as a video and power cable.
USB 3.2 is limited to short distances, whereas hybrid cables can now also achieve longer distances.
With this cable, you can, for example, connect your laptop to a USB-C monitor and charge your device at the same time with up to 60 W of power, if the monitor supports this feature. Or connect your workstation to a USB 3.2 docking station and use features like an SDXC card reader, USB hub, HDMI output, RJ-45 LAN adapter, and more.
Note: Not all devices with a USB-C connector support fast charging (PowerDelivery), video signal transmission (DP-Alternate Mode), or data transfer at 5/10/20 Gbps (SuperSpeed USB). For more information, contact your device manufacturer.
