No, optical cables use light to transmit audio signals, while S/PDIF cables use electrical signals. Optical cables are most commonly used with devices like Home Theater systems, whereas S/PDIF cables are found on a variety of audio equipment like TVs and CD players.
What else can I help you with?
Is optical medium and optical density same?
No, optical medium and optical density are not the same. Optical medium refers to the material through which light propagates, such as air, water, or glass. Optical density, on the other hand, is a measure of how much a material can refract or absorb light, which affects how light passes through it.
Is optical density the same as absorbance?
Yes, optical density and absorbance are essentially the same concept, both referring to the measurement of how much light is absorbed by a substance.
In wired connections the medium that carries data in the form of light signals is?
In wired connections, the medium that carries data in the form of light signals is typically optical fiber. Optical fiber cables use glass or plastic fibers to transmit data using pulses of light, allowing for faster and more reliable data transmission compared to traditional electrical cables.
Is turbidity and optical density is same?
Turbidity measures the cloudiness of a liquid caused by suspended solids, while optical density measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample. They are related in the sense that turbidity can affect optical density measurements, but they are not the same. Turbidity is a measure of the scattering of light by particles in a sample, while optical density is a measure of the absorption of light by a sample.
How do cables use light?
Do you mean fiber cables? If so, each glass fiber carries a beam of light which is modulated by the information being carried. These days the data is usually binary encoded before being transmitted.
Is it possible to connect notebook with tv through spdif for a sound as I use vga for video with simple jack-jack cable or is it necessary to have some special spdif cable?
OK. Allready solved the problem. As spdif cable is an optical, so laser goest thru that, it's really impossible to connect it with just some jack...
Is the optical intput on a JVC 42 inch for audio only or both audio and video?
The optical input on a TV is used for transmission of digital audio, in SPDIF format between devices, only.
Where can one purchase optical digital cables?
There are many websites and companies that offer optical digital cables for sale. Some of these companies that offer the cables are Amazon, ZORO Tools and Walmart.
What is a optical?
An optical microscope is what is commonly known as compound microscope.
What are the different types of audio cables and how do they differ?
There are speaker cables, unbalanced analog cables, balanced analog cables, coaxial digital audio cables and optical audio cables.
Is spdif multichannel?
SPDIF can carry stereo (2 channels) of audio.
Depth of laying optical fiber cables?
100 cm
What is the difference in digital optical fiber cables for a home theater system?
All optical cables will sound almost exactly alike. There is no reason to spend a lot on these. Usually you get better shielding and performance by spending more, but optical signals are not interrupted by any source of outside interference. HDMI cables are similar, as it transmit a digital signal, a very inexpensice HDMI cable will yield the same results as the most expensive. Buy all cables from monoprice.com, they are the industry standard equipment supplier for people in the know.
What are the main uses for optical cables?
Optical cables are used for data transmission or as light guides in medical applications. Because of their illumination, they are used in toys, signs and artificial Christmas trees.
What sort of cables do you need to connect your soundcard to your stereo?
Cabling will vary depending on your specific stereo and soundcard -- analog RCA, digital COAX, and SPDIF are most common.
Optical signals in optical cables have short wavelength why?
Because the attenuation of the fiber is much less at those wavelengths.
What type of output does a S PDIF port provide?
An SPDIF port is digital audio port. It provides stereo or compressed surround audio by way of coaxial or optical communication.
