Default Optical audio connections


"Petert"

I'm about to move house and the new property requires a complete
rerwire, so I plan to take the opportunity to install audio and video
cabling.

My questions a

Is there any literature available on fibre for audio?


** You mean digital data - not audio.


I would like to
gain some understanding of it - light levels both xmit & rx.



** ******.

I understand that the optical connectors are known as TOS Link -
correct?


** Tosser Link - more likely.


Are there advantages to be gained in using optical vice coax?



** Huh ??

Optical via co-ax ???


Is Cat5 or Cat6 used in audio?



** No.

Only good for data signals really.


I will be installing structured cabling
for computing - is it worth installing extra runs for audio etc?



** Better go figure what "audio" is some day - pal.
