Optical audio cables

Optical cables

Optical cable has advantages over standard copper coaxial cables because it can carry larger data packets with significantly lower losses, transmission distances are incomparably longer, has a low risk of corrosion, and is actually free of external embarrassment. Optical cables find their application in Internet communications, where the distance between the two connection points is huge, as well as in audio-visual systems for signal transmission without interference.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The quality of signal transmission is one of the highest we know.
• No external interference.
• Almost complete loss of information, which allows large lengths.
• The price per meter of this type of cable is high.
• Need for more expensive laser transmitters and receivers.
• Difficult to connect the 2 ends as a microscope is required.
• Limited bending.
• They cannot carry electricity.
