Signal Conductor

Plastic fibres


Signal Conductor

PMMA fibres (polymethyl methacrylate)


Optimised light reflection


Processing

Very good processing


More light reflection than Premium optical cable


Light reflections impair detection of ones and zeroes.

Processing

Excellent processing


Optical fibres cut straight


Reduced jitter effect


The optical conductor faces are carefully smoothened:


The faces of the optical conductors must be precisely ground and polished to transmit the light with as little reflection as possible. The relatively large optical conductor diameter of one millimetre, as prescribed by the TOS Link standard, produces significant reflections and phase shifts between the individual light beams. This causes a kind of jitter, which makes it difficult for the receiver to detect ones and zeroes. The higher the quality of the optical conductor, the less light is reflected and the more precise the transmission.
