6 foot Tartan Coaxial Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand
Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand, 6 foot:S/PDIF Digital Audio cables are used on many devices today to send digitally-encoded audio--which may be simple stereo right/left audio content, or any of a variety of multichannel surround audio standards such as Dolby 5.1 audio--from source devices to audio receivers and amplifiers. Coaxial digital audio cable is basically standard 75 ohm video cable--the same as is used for such things as composite video or SDI--with RCA plugs on each end.Shielding and Impedance StabilityThe most important attributes of a coaxial digital audio cable are its characteristic impedance and the effectiveness of its shielding. This is a conventional 75 ohm impedance video cable, matching the impedance of all common home theater sources, DACs and receivers. It carries a combination braid and foil shield; the foil provides 100% coverage and is highly effective at higher frequencies, while the braid provides better low-frequency protection, better physical durability, and lower resistance to ground to provide an effective ground path for EMI and RFI. This cable is CL2 rated for in-wall installation.About Tartan Cable:Tartan Cable is the economy brand of home theater cabling products from Blue Jeans Cable, a Seattle-based manufacturer and importer of broadcast-quality cabling for the home.
