TOSLINK cables

... In article , (Colin) writes: I think, if you took a Toslink of a given length and a coax of identical length, and looked at an eye pattern of the datastream you would indeed see a difference. And, as you extend the length, these differences would become more pronounced. 900 micron plastic fiber is huge by fiber standards. Common multimode fiber is 50 or 62.5 microns, single mode 8 microns. And the light source is visible light in toslink, not the short wavlengths of glass fiber. After only a few feet, optical signals in toslink are bouncing all around. Wow ! someone who appears to know what he is talking about. It appears that you can learn something on this forum. Thanks Steve! so for all the experts on this forum that a bit is either there or not and the olde perennial argument that one a bit of copper wire is the .... has now migrated to a bit of plastic pipe is the same as another bit and it don't make no difference, DBT, ABX, tcpip et all. cat-5 makes good speaker wire ! wouldn't use it for digital :¬) so we now seen to a viable explanation for what those with EARS have been saying for a while. so where is your aural illusion now, (sorry self delusion now) ? I live in hope of understanding what I hear. Chris there are 10 types of idiot. |
