Active Cables and Passive cables, Picture, Related Products, Performance

Active Cables and Passive cables. Active cables are copper cables for data transmission. They use silicon (semiconductor) to boost the performance of the cable. On the contrary, a cable without a chip is considered as a ‘passive cable’.
