Optical audio connections
 

Hi,

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? 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? And are there dongles available to interface between these
fibre connectors and SC/PC or LC connectors?
Are there advantages to be gained in using optical vice coax?
Is Cat5 or Cat6 used in audio? I will be installing structured cabling
for computing - is it worth installing extra runs for audio etc?

Cat 5 is indeed used for audio, it's also used for analogue video (balanced
110 ohm) and works very well. Personally I wouldn't bother with optical, I'd
just use Cat 5 cable, it'll handle everything you need.

** You mean digital data - not audio.

** ******.

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.

Again our Aussie friend displays his ignorance. Cat 5 works extremely well
for audio.

** Massive BLATANT LIE !!

The lack of shielding is a disaster for hi-fi audio.

And digital audio IS a data signal.

Ever heard of balanced audio?, no I guess not

Of course.

** Of course - pro audio is my field.

It always uses shielded, twisted pair cable.

Unshielded, cat 5 is garbage.

Why let the facts get in the way of a good rant? ;-)

No, I meant audio, to enable, eventually, my speakers to output sound

I'm sure you are. I don't expect your social skills are up to
attracting members of the opposite sex

Mmm, definitely fixated on masturbation - I don't imagine your
favourite videos need audio, do they?

Now I would suggest that on those rare occasions when you do venture
out that you enrol in remedial reading classes, don't forget to put
fresh underwear on though.

Thank you, the one part of your reply that may be considered helpful,
although from what I know of you already, probably incorrect

Pal - is that a term of endearment that you use to try and makes
friends? I guess you've already found out that it doesne't work, hence
the reason you hear the term "Billy no mates" ring in your ears so
often

Well Phil, I can tell you what I have figured out, something many
others already knew, that you are an arsewipe and an oxygen thief.

I suggest you crawl back into your dingo infested **** pit and do the
rest of the world a favour.

The return email address is a spam trap - you may wish to address your
replies to it.
