Truly amazed

[Reid Malenfant]

Cheers for that post & picture Chris & Will this is precisely what i have been attempting to get accross - there is more than one type of each coloured cable

Some people just don't listen

My 'old whites', bought from the original Ebay ad that was on the OP here didn't have a construction diagram on the box (I still have those boxes), or I'd have scanned that too.

Chaps I think I've dropped a proverbial bollock!

The white single one, is a Digital Coax cable

Hence only one in the box, I was looking for analogue RCA, oh no, and I've ordered another

One assumes these are not appropriate as analogue interconnects

Can anyone please advise before I go begging to the vendor?

They'll be 100% fine for an audio interconnect

[Barry]

'Digital' cables will work perfectly well as audio interconnects.

To be a good digital cable, the cable ought to have a characteristic impedance of 75 Ohm and have low loss, appropriate to the high frequencies it handles. All of these attributes are largely irrelevant at audio frequencies, but certainly do no harm.

Use with confidance.

The 'new' grey ones appear to be the same contsruction as the 'old' white ones (which were different to the 'old' grey ones). As far as I'm aware, all the white analogue ones are the same (the picture Will posted is the white digital co-ax, which isn't the same construction as the white analogue cable). I've got white ones with and without the construction shown on the box.

Are the 'new' grey ones designated AD80300qnXM (where 'X' is 1, 2 or 5 depending on the length)?

My grey ones are supposed to be 'composite video' cables, they do the job just fine!

Cheers Mark, that's a relief as he's already dispatched the second one

So what if any would be the difference between the white digital coax, and the white analogue...apart from the fact that analogue would come as a pair

The wording on the box, or something more fundamental

[WAD62]

Cheers to everyone for the reassurance...my day is re-made

I posted somewhere way up there about the difference I found between the two types I have. (Not the ones you want to compare, but I'd imagine the differences would be of the same order of magnitude).
