Appsys ADS-8 ADAT Splitter

The Appsys ADS-8 ADAT 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 - 10 m to 10 - 20 m, 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
