The ADS-8 ADAT/Toslink Splitter allows you to connect any signal source to two sinks. The active design overcomes the limitations of traditional passive splitters: They essentially half the amount of light on each output, causing problems because the attenuated signal is too weak for proper transmission of high-speed data. In contrast, the ADS-8 receives the optical signal, converts it to an electrical signal which can be split without loss to the out put transmitters which operate on each port with full power. As a side effect, it acts as signal repeater which doubles the reach of each connection. Features Reliable, lossless, true bit-transparent splitting of any signal Doubles maximum transmission distance of an optical connection from normally 5-10m to 10-20m, depending on the equipment used Near-zero latency (< 1µs) All channels present on the input are available on both outputs Compatible with all audio formats which can be sent over TOSLINK Quality product "Made in Switzerland" Includes Splitter (1 input -> 2 outputs) AC adapter in "green" switching technology Printed manual
