NEW: CHIRON-GLASS1
The Chiron-Glass1 optical cable for AES/EBU or S/PDIF signals
The Chiron-Glass1 optical cable we built to offer a high end alternative to ordinary electrical balanced or unbalanced digital audio interconnects. The glass fiber technology must not be confused with the plastic fiber based Toslink interconnects. Glass fiber diameters are in the 100 micrometer range while plastice fibers are in the millimeters. Signal fidelity for glass fibers is extremely high. The Chiron-Glass1 potentially can transmit signals in the 100MHz frequency range over distances of 2 kilometers and more.
The Chiron–Glass1 consists of the following components:

• A receiver circuitry for AES/EBU or S/PDIF signals connected via XLR, RCA or BNC connectors with an associated driver to drive the optical transmitter.
• The optical cable in 62.5 / 125 mm technology with ST type connectors.
• An optical receiver ciruitry with an associated driver circuit to drive AES/EBU or S/PDIF signals on XLR, RCA or BNC connectors.
• Two high efficiency power supplies to power the transmitter and receiver modules separately.

The electrical connectors can be specified for receiver / transmitter independently. Available are XLR, RCA or BNC connectors.

The advantages of an optical over an electrical connection are:

• Isolation between the two connected units. I.e. no ground loops introduced.
• Absolutely immune to electrical interference.
• No emission of electrical interferences.
• High signal fidelity due to active transmitter and receiver electronics.
• Very low jitter figures.
• Capable of crossing long distances with minimal loss.

The Chiron-Glass1 is the ultimate solution for digital audio interconnects. Optical cables are available in standard lengths of 1, 3, 5 or 10 meters. Other lengths on request.
Note: the bending radius for glass fiber cables must not be made smaller than about 50mm.
