The conductor of the Exzellenz optical cable consists of a special polymer fiber (PMMA) and is fitted with high-quality, solid TOSLINK connectors. An elaborate assembly process reduces light refractions in the fiber and also any jitter effects to a minimum. This brings a natural, dynamic and homogeneous sound even with high-resolution audio formats.
The Premium optical cable is characterized by its high-quality nylon fiber and precisely-fitting TOSLINK connector. It is used to connect digital audio sources such as CD, DVD, Blu-ray players and games consoles to AV receivers and similar devices. Signal transmission is of exceptional quality, with the Premium optical cable transmitting digital audio signals with high clarity and precision. This ensures excellent audio quality, plus minimal signal loss and interference. The virtually interference-free transmission brings tremendous advantages. Optical cables are resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) because they use light instead of electrical current. This enables reliable and virtually interference-free signal transmission, even in environments containing many electronic devices.
The optical digital cable with standardized TOSLINK connectors for connecting up digital audio sources such as CD, DVD, Blu-ray players or games consoles to AV receivers etc. An outstanding advantage is the virtually interference-free transmission. Optical cables are resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) because they use light instead of electrical current. This enables reliable and virtually interference-free signal transmission, even in environments containing many electronic devices. Application: TOSLINK is used in a variety of devices, including home theater systems, televisions, DVD players, game consoles and audio devices. It is a widely used standard for digital audio transmission.
High-quality optical cable (fiber optic cable) with precisely fitting and standardized TOSLINK and miniplug connectors for the secure and interference-free connection of digital audio sources such as CD, DVD, Blu-ray players or games consoles to the AV receiver. Typical application examples are Apple TV, Apple MAC Pro and Apple Airport Express, as well as other devices with combined 3.5 mm audio output (stereo headphones + optical digital in one socket). The virtually interference-free transmission brings tremendous advantages. Optical cables are resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) because they use light instead of electrical current. This enables reliable and virtually interference-free signal transmission, even in environments containing many electronic devices.
High-quality digital cables for lossless audio transmission
Digital cables are an important link in the chain of any modern hi-fi system. They reliably transmit digital audio signals between CD players, streamers, Blu-ray players, DACs, AV receivers, and amplifiers with the highest precision. At in-akustik, you will find digital cables that impress with perfectly matched impedances, high-quality shielding, and innovative designs. They guarantee low-jitter, lossless transmission of even high-resolution audio formats.
Why the quality of digital cables is crucial
A high-quality digital cable minimizes physically induced losses and transmits the music signal as unchanged as possible. The characteristic impedance—precisely tuned to 75 ohms for coaxial or 110 ohms for AES/EBU connections—prevents reflections and enables fast, error-free data transmission. Multi-layer shielding made of tightly braided copper protects sensitive signals from electromagnetic interference from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile communications.
From Star to Reference: Digital cables for every requirement
Our digital cable series includes various quality levels, from high-quality premium digital cables to audiophile the Reference series. The Excellence series already offers the highest sound fidelity with foamed polyethylene dielectric, silver-plated OFC conductors, and gold-plated full metal plugs. Absolute perfection is ensured by the Reference digital cables with unique AIR Helix technology, in which the signal conductors are held in the air in a helical shape by special clips. This ensures almost perfect air insulation and measurably better sound reproduction.
Coaxial digital cables and optical connections
In addition to coaxial digital cables with RCA plugs or AES/EBU connections with XLR plugs, we also offer high-quality optical cables (Toslink) for interference-free fiber optic transmission. These are particularly resistant to electromagnetic interference and ideal for environments with many electronic devices. Symmetrical AES/EBU digital cables with 110-ohm impedance are available for professional use.
Pure Silver – the pinnacle of digital cable technology
We present pure silver versions as the top of our high-end digital cable range. With 61.35 S/m, silver has approximately six percent better conductivity than copper and comes closest to superconducting properties under realistic conditions. In combination with AIR technology, this results in digital cables that set new standards in terms of transparency and detail resolution.
Made in Germany: Quality from the cable manufacturer
in-akustik digital cables in the Excellence and Reference quality grades are manufactured in our factory and individually tested. Gold-plated contacts permanently reduce contact resistance and protect against corrosion. All this guarantees reliable performance for many years to come. Whether for your home theater system or audiophile stereo system, we offer digital cables that will take your music playback to a whole new level.
