The industry has been waiting for a long-distance USB4 solution that is actually ready for the market. The wait is over. Mattzon introduces the new standard for stability and speed.

The demand for higher bandwidth and stronger stability is growing every day, especially in professional applications like medical imaging, remote storage systems, and high-end workstations.

We are proud to introduce Mattzon’s Hybrid Type-C USB4 Full-Featured AOC (Active Optical Cable). This is not just a cable; it is a market-leading solution that combines the speed of fiber optics with the versatility of USB4, delivering faster, cleaner, and more reliable connectivity over distances that copper simply cannot reach.

What Is a Hybrid USB4 Type-C AOC?

To understand the solution, we must understand the architecture. A "Hybrid" Active Optical Cable combines the best of two worlds: Fiber Optics for data and Copper for power.

  • Optical Fiber: Converts electrical data signals into light, allowing them to travel at 40Gbps over long distances with zero resistance or signal loss.

  • Copper Wire: Runs alongside the fiber to conduct electricity, ensuring the cable still supports Power Delivery (PD) to charge your devices.

This hybrid structure allows the cable to maintain the "one cable for everything" convenience of USB-C while breaking the length limitations of traditional copper wires.

A Milestone: The First USB4 AOC Ready for Mass Production

Many optical solutions in the market are still in the prototype or small-batch phase due to complex manufacturing processes. Mattzon has solved this.

Our Hybrid Type-C USB4 Full-Featured AOC is one of the market's first solutions capable of large-scale mass production. For our B2B partners and distributors, this commercial readiness is a game-changer. It means you can adopt optical USB4 technology with confidence, supported by a stable supply chain and consistent quality control for long-term projects.

Why Hybrid AOC Outperforms Traditional Copper

1. Longer Distance Without Signal Loss Physics is the enemy of copper. At 40Gbps, standard copper cables begin to lose signal integrity after just 0.8 meters. Mattzon’s AOC overcomes this. Because light transmits data without resistance, our cable maintains stable 40Gbps performance even in extended applications,perfect for conference rooms, control centers, and industrial setups where the PC is far from the display.

2. Immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) In complex environments like hospitals or factories, electrical noise can disrupt data. Since fiber optics transmit light, not electricity, the data channels in our Hybrid AOC are naturally immune to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). This ensures:

  • Clear, artifact-free video output.

  • Stable data transfer without retries.

  • No screen flickering or signal drops.

3. True Bi-Directional Transmission Designed for the modern era, this USB4 cable supports true bi-directional data flow. High-speed communication occurs in both directions simultaneously, which is essential for real-time data synchronization and high-speed external storage operations.

Full Feature Support: One Cable to Rule Them All

We designed Mattzon’s Hybrid USB4 AOC to be a "Full-Featured" replacement for your existing setup. It is not just a video cable; it is a complete connectivity hub supporting:

  • USB4 Gen3 Speed: Transfer rates up to 40Gbps.

  • Video Protocols: Native support for DP1.4 and DP1.2 standards.

  • Power Delivery: Hybrid copper lines allow for device charging.

  • All-in-One: Audio, Video, Data, and Power in a single connector.

This makes it the ideal upgrade for users looking to replace multiple messy cables with a single, long-range professional solution.

Certified for Global Markets

Compliance is critical for international sales. We understand that our partners operate in regulated markets. Mattzon’s Hybrid AOC solution is rigorously tested and available with:

  • RoHS Compliance

  • REACH Compliance

  • UL Certification

  • Comprehensive Reliability Testing

Whether you are exporting to Europe or North America, this product meets the safety and environmental standards required for global distribution.

Application Scenarios

This Hybrid USB4 Type-C AOC unlocks new possibilities for setups that were previously impossible due to cable length restrictions:

  • Professional Workstations: Connecting a tower PC to a monitor across the room.

  • AR/VR Devices: Allowing freedom of movement without signal lag.

  • Conference Rooms: Connecting table laptops to wall-mounted displays.

  • Medical & Industrial: High-bandwidth connection in high-interference areas.

Conclusion

Traditional Type-C copper cables have reached their performance limits. As we move into an era of 8K video and massive data files, the physics of copper can no longer keep up.

Mattzon’s Hybrid USB4 AOC technology represents the next generation of connectivity—combining optical speed with USB4 compatibility. If your application demands long-distance transmission, interference resistance, and cutting-edge speed, the future is Hybrid.


FAQ

Q1: What is the main difference between this Hybrid AOC and a normal USB4 cable?

Mattzon : The core difference is the transmission medium. Normal cables use copper, which limits high-speed data to very short lengths (usually under 1 meter). Hybrid AOC uses optical fiber for data, allowing for much longer distances while maintaining full 40Gbps speed and stability.

Q2: Does this cable support charging (Power Delivery)? 

Mattzon : Yes. This is why we call it "Hybrid." While it uses fiber for data, it includes integrated copper wires specifically to handle Power Delivery, ensuring your laptop or device can still charge while transmitting data.

Q3: Is it compatible with standard DisplayPort monitors? 

Mattzon : Yes. The cable supports DP1.4 and DP1.2 protocols via the USB-C interface, making it perfect for connecting high-resolution monitors and projectors.
