Active Cables:
Most micro B cables on online stores are not acceptable for high frame rate cameras. The main reason for this is that the cables are not "active". Extra technology has been added to the ends of our USB cables to make sure enough power and bandwidth are being sent across the cable at long distances to the camera. Cables without active technology, in most cases, will not be able to maintain power and signal to your swing camera, especially as you lengthen your cable.
Fiber Optic: AOC
Fiber optic cables (or also known as Active Optical Cables) allow for even longer distances that typical active copper cables. The cable design allows for reliable data connection over long distances without the need for extra hubs or added power, thus reducing possible failures in your connections and camera systems.
Durability:
So what sets SurfThing cables apart from other active cables on the market? SurfThing's cables are more durable for one main reason: the "active" technology is embedded into the USB cable end pieces. Most other manufacturers put the active repeater in the middle of the cable. After many years of supporting golf simulators, SurfThing recognized a pattern of cables getting destroyed because this plastic active repeater box in the middle of the cable getting stepped on and broken. After years of witnessing money being wasted on cables by our partner companies, we developed a solution to save our clients time and money, and avoid the headaches involved with re-running cables.
