Audiolan cable, sold under the S2CEB brand in the CAE Group, has been developed thanks to the technical knowledge and expertise of Multimedia Connect, the CAE Group brand that is developing a full package dedicated to broadband VDI (Voice-Data-Image) networks.
Ethersound technology, developed and patented by Digigram, uses an Ethernet type network to carry audio data. It is thus based on the use of Ethernet components and cables, and it enables installation of audio networks with very low levels of latency. This emerging technology is likely to see strong development with the arrival of new audio equipment that can be connected to Ethernet type networks, and communication protocols enabling remote control of audio equipment and routing of the various audio channels.
Each of Audiolan's four pairs is made up of two AWG26 bare copper stranded conductors covered with polyethylene insulation. Each pair of two twisted wires is identifiable by a colour code. The earthing conductor consists of a stranded tinned copper wire.
The four pairs of conductors and the earthing conductor are placed together inside a general shield made of aluminium/polyester tape, and the assembly is put inside a matt black sheath made of extra-flexible PVC. This means that the minimum curve radius of Audiolan is 30mm. The cable operates at temperatures ranging from -20°C to +70°C.
