STRAIGHTWIRE TOS-LINK

STRAIGHTWIRE TOS-LINK, Optical-Digital Cable.

[Available in long lengths]


Digital cables have many of the same design requirements as high quality video cables such as accurate impedance with little variation over the relevant frequency range and great shielding to prevent unwanted interference. Issues of minimizing reflections and phase angle are also important for high quality digital cables. The use of premium insulation for high velocity of propagation and minimal absorbtion is mandatory for consistent good performance. Terminations (both the connectors and methods of attachment to various cables) are critical to obtaining favorable results.
 
LEGEND:
BNC = Named for it's inventor, "Bayonet Neil Concelman" the BNC connectors is used extensively with coaxial cables
 XLR = The US-standard connector for balanced line signal cables. 



TOS-Link: Optical transmission offers lower noise but typically, less bandwidth than digital cables. Straight Wire's TOSLINK is a higher quality version of the standard optical connection used for many DVD, Laser Disc and other componentswith optical capability.
