Gepco Debuts 96kHz Extended Distance Digital Audio Multi-Pair Cables
 January 18, 2001The 5596GFC series debuts as Gepco International’s next generation of 110-ohm AES/EBU digital audio multi-pair cable. Designed for both superior electrical and mechanical performance, the 5596GFC multi-pair series is the most accurate cable available for transmission of all formats of AES3 digital audio, including 24-bit/96kHz.
The 5596GFC series features an extended 12.3 MHz bandwidth, ultra-low attenuation and jitter, mechanical stability, and a precision 110 ohm impedance. Optimized for 96 kHz bandwidth requirements, 5596GFC is also ideal for extended distance runs of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz formats. The ultra-low attenuation and precision impedance enable longer runs (up to 60 percent) compared to other types of twisted pair.
The 5596GFC multi-pair series is available in four-pair, eight-pair, and twelve-pair configurations. All have stranded 24 gauge oxygen-free conductors insulated with Gepco’s new T165 dielectric compound. The impedance of 5596GFC remains consistent across the entire operating bandwidth (100 kHz to 12.3 MHz), while attenuation at 12 MHz is only 2.1 dB (per 100’).
Like all Gepco multi-pair cable, the 5596GFC series is extemely flexible, easy to terminate and durable. Each pair features color coded and alpha-numerically printed pair jackets for quick identification, an easy-to-strip bonded foil shield, and Gepco’s extra-flexible "Gep-Flex" outer jacket. The 5596GFC multi-pair series is UL listed type CM.
"The 5596 series sets a new standard for digital audio multi-pair cable," said Scott Fehl, Product Manager, Gepco International. "It is the ideal choice for all formats of AES3 digital audio, especially extended distance runs. The multi-pair cables are just the latest addition to the extremely successful series of 5596 cable products." For more information, visit their web site at www.gepco.com. |
