One Cable Solution: Definition and function

One Cable Solution

The One Cable Solution is a system in which a single cable performs multiple functions such as power supply, data and video transmission. This technology makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of cables required to connect multiple devices, resulting in a tidier working and living space. The One Cable Solution aims to put an end to the annoying and unsightly cable clutter in conference room technology and at home once and for all.

 

Development of the One Cable Solution

Whether for aesthetic reasons or to enable the quick assembly and disassembly of devices, there is a need for a One Cable Solution. The One Cable Solution (OCS) focuses on the transmission of audio data as well as video, data and power signals üvia a single cable and is often used in consumer electronics, in presentation technology or in conference room technology.

The aim of the One Cable Solution is to simplify the connection between different devices such as televisions, computers and displays and reduce cable clutter. To enable efficient transmission over a single cable, the One Cable Solution uses advanced transmission technologies, such as:

  • HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface),
  • USB-C (Universal Serial Bus Type-C),
  • Thunderbolt.

    Advantages of the One Cable Solution

    The One Cable Solution revolutionizes everyday office life, especially in modern office concepts that focus on flexibility and mobility and abandon fixed workplaces in favour of shared desk models and flexible working environments. In such dynamic office environments, the One Cable Solution enables employees to set up their workstation quickly and easily.

    With just one cable, you can connect your laptops or mobile devices to docking stations, for example, which not only provide the monitor, but also the keyboard, mouse, internet connection and even the power supply. This not only reduces cable clutter and improves the aesthetics of the workplace, but also promotes an agile way of working, where employees can freely choose their workplace depending on the task, team composition or personal preference.

     

    Input cable system and One Connect Box

    In contrast to OCS, Single Cable Distribution (or „One Cable System“) refers specifically to a technique in satellite television technology. This solution enables the distribution of signals from multiple satellite television channels via a single cable to multiple receivers.

    The One Connect Box from Samsung, on the other hand, is an innovative solution that aims to simplify the cabling and connectivity of Smart TVs. Their aim is also to avoid an unnecessary amount of cables. To make this possible, the One Connect Box has several different connections so that it provides an interface for all cable connections.
