Key Features

Optix Component Video represents the state of the art in video cable design. This exciting high performance cable offers major advantages over conventional designs with improved colour 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 screens.

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.

Designed for optimal performance in high-end home theater systems, you won't find a better video cable. Due to its exceptional cosistency and low signal loss, Nordost Optix excels even in long cable runs.
