Appsys ADS-8 ADAT/Toslink Splitter and Repeater active

The Appsys ADS-8 ADAT Splitter And Repeater 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 output 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.

The main features of the Appsys ADS-8 ADAT Splitter And Repeater include:

• Splitter (1 input -> 2 outputs)
• AC adapter in "green" switching technology
• Printed manual
• 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"
