Vaddio Legrand 440-1007-008 Active Optical Cable

Product Description

The VADDIO LEGRAND 440-1007-008 is an active optical cable designed for professional AV and video integration applications. Active optical cables use fiber optic technology with integrated transceivers at each end, converting electrical signals to light for transmission and back again, enabling long-distance signal runs without the signal degradation common to copper alternatives. This cable is sold as a single unit and is typically specified and installed by AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and broadcast or conferencing system technicians.

Active optical cables in this category are used in commercial and institutional AV installations where extended cable runs are required between cameras, displays, switchers, or other AV endpoints. They are commonly deployed in conference rooms, lecture halls, houses of worship, and command centers where maintaining signal integrity over distance is critical. Consult the system documentation for maximum supported run lengths and compatible endpoints.

Key Features

• Active optical construction supports longer runs than passive copper cables
• Integrated transceivers at each end handle signal conversion internally
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and inventory management
• Designed for professional AV and video integration environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style active optical patch cable for use with compatible VADDIO LEGRAND AV systems and endpoints. Verify connector type and supported protocol against your specific system requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or AV integrator familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Power down connected equipment before making or breaking cable connections to protect transceiver components. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing. Follow all applicable low-voltage wiring codes for the installation jurisdiction.
