QED Performance Optical Cable 3M

The Signal Travels as Light. Physics Still Comes Along for the Ride. One of the advantages of an optical connection is that it transfers information as pulses of light rather than electrical signals. It doesn't mean the cable suddenly becomes irrelevant. Less Signal Loss. More Signal. Performance Optical uses a low-loss PMMA optical fibre designed to support the bandwidth required by today's digital audio formats. Get as much of the original signal from one component to the next as accurately as possible. Precision Where You Can't See It Inside the cable, the optical fibre uses a stepped refractive index design that helps minimise signal dispersion as light travels through the cable. What matters is that it helps keep the signal organised on its journey from source to destination, reducing the opportunity for timing errors that can affect digital performance. Small Details. Big Difference. The fibre ends are carefully polished before being terminated in precision-engineered Toslink connectors. Built for Real Homes That's why Performance Optical uses a flexible TPE outer jacket that helps protect the fibre while making installation refreshingly straightforward.
