Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand, 15 foot:

S/PDIF Digital Audio cables are used on many devices today to send digitally-encoded audio--which may be simple stereo right/left audio content, or any of a variety of multichannel surround audio standards such as Dolby 5.1 audio--from source devices to audio receivers and amplifiers. Coaxial digital audio cable is basically standard 75 ohm video cable--the same as is used for such things as composite video or SDI--with RCA plugs on each end.

Shielding and Impedance Stability

The most important attributes of a coaxial digital audio cable are its characteristic impedance and the effectiveness of its shielding. This is a conventional 75 ohm impedance video cable, matching the impedance of all common home theater sources, DACs and receivers. It carries a combination braid and foil shield; the foil provides 100% coverage and is highly effective at higher frequencies, while the braid provides better low-frequency protection, better physical durability, and lower resistance to ground to provide an effective ground path for EMI and RFI. This cable is CL2 rated for in-wall installation.

15 foot Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand Feature

• 75 ohm characteristic impedance, coaxial cable geometry
• Compatible with all standard composite video inputs and outputs on VCRs, DVD players, etc.
• Black PVC Jacket with gold-plated connectors, CL2 rated for in-wall installation
• Also can be used as a S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Audio Cable or for analog audio
• Combination braid and foil shielding for excellent EMI/RFI rejection

Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand, 15 foot:

Composite Video is the earliest, and most basic, baseband video standard seen on television sets, VCRs, and other home theater devices. It combines color and luminance signals into one, and supports only one resolution, the original NTSC standard of 480i. While composite video has been superseded in most consumer applications by s-video, component, and HDMI, it remains a handy way to hook up legacy devices such as VHS decks, and is still supported by most displays.

Shielding and Impedance Stability

The most important attributes of a composite video cable are its characteristic impedance and the effectiveness of its shielding over a wide range of frequencies. This is a conventional 75 ohm impedance video cable, matching the impedance of all common home theater sources and displays. It carries a combination braid and foil shield; the foil provides 100% coverage and is highly effective at higher frequencies, while the braid provides better low-frequency protection, better physical durability, and lower resistance to ground to provide an effective ground path for EMI and RFI. This cable is CL2 rated for in-wall installation.

10 foot Tartan Coaxial Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand

10 foot Tartan Coaxial Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand Review

10 foot Tartan Coaxial Digital Audio Cable, Tartan Cable brand Feature

• 75 ohm characteristic impedance, coaxial cable geometry
• Compatible with all standard coaxial digital audio inputs and outputs on DVD players, DVRs, AV receivers, etc.
• Black PVC Jacket with gold-plated connectors
• CL2 rated for in-wall installation
• Combination braid and foil shielding for excellent EMI/RFI rejection

Coaxial Digital Audio cables are used to carry stereo or multichannel audio down a single digital signal path, and are also sometimes called S/PDIF cables; jacks which accept or put out coaxial digital audio signals are frequently, though not always, color-coded orange, and so these digital audio cables have orange RCA plugs to aid in matching cables to jacks. Because coaxial digital audio was designed to run on conventional analog video cable, these 75 ohm digital audio cables are equally suitable for use as composite video cables; in fact, our composite video cable, which is identical apart from having a yellow rather than an orange connector, is a bit lower-priced if you're looking for a bargain.

6 foot Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand

6 foot Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand Review

6 foot Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand Feature

• 75 ohm characteristic impedance, coaxial cable geometry
• Compatible with all standard composite video inputs and outputs on VCRs, DVD players, etc.
• Black PVC Jacket with gold-plated connectors
• Also can be used as a S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Audio Cable or for analog audio
• Combination braid and foil shielding for excellent EMI/RFI rejection

This 6-foot composite video cable is suitable for carrying standard-definition analog video from various types of sources--usually older equipment such as standard VHS decks--to receivers or displays. Composite video cable does not carry audio along with it, so accompanying audio cables will be required for most common applications. Composite video cable is the lowest-quality mode of hookup for most devices, other than modulated RF, and so should be used only if s-video, component or HDMI are not available. Our composite video cables are also usable for S/PDIF digital audio connections, and in fact, our coaxial digital audio cable and our composite video cable are actually the same product with different connector colors (orange for S/PDIF, yellow for composite video). These cables are 75 ohm characteristic impedance, RG-59 style cable, with gold-plated RCA plugs at each end.
