Nordost OPTIX - OX3 Component Video Cable

 

Optix Component video cable represents the state of the art in video cable design. This exciting high performance cable offers major advantages over conventional designs with improved color information, better edge definition and a much more three-dimensional picture. Utilizing Nordost’s proprietary Micro Monofilament technology, Optix Component cable has very low capacitance, high signal speed and a very wide bandwidth. This makes it the ideal choice for use with progressive scan DVD players and the latest HDTV Plasma screeNordost%20optix-composite%20vid%20cable.jpgns.

OPTIX Component Video consists of three Micro Monofilament dual shielded coax cables, which carry the Y, I and Q signals. Y carries the black and white signal I and Q carry two color difference signals, by adding or subtracting these signals from Y Red, Green and Blue can be derived. In order to obtain maximum performance each cable has an exact impedance of 75 ohms and is terminated with dedicated Nordost 75Ohm gold-plated phono plugs or BNC connectors. The signal loss for this cable is less than 0.9dB at 1 Megahertz and less than 1.1 dB at 5 Megahertz over 30 meters. Due to its flexible design and extremely low signal loss, it is ideal for running component signals in multi-channel applications. Designed with two layers of shielding for the ultimate in interference rejection the Optix Component, due to its low profile and flexibility, is ideal for installation in tight spaces.
