Monster CableÆ Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, car audio, AC Power Solutions and computer cables and accessories, is introducing InterlinkÆ Mobile LightSpeedô (IMLS) 100 fiber optic cable for use with mobile CD, MiniDisc, DVD and DACs. Even the highest performance digital sources wonít deliver the best sound without the right kind of fiber optic cable. Cables with Toslink connections abound; finding one that lives up to the level of performance required by a mobile digital source, however, is no easy task. In fact, most Toslink cables feature second-rate construction and cheap materials. The result is inferior data transfer - a landmine for the IASCA competitor or car audio enthusiast in search of the better sound digital components are capable of delivering.IMLS100 offers several performance advantages over conventional coaxial and even ""twisted pair"" analog cable. IMLS100 carries multiple channels of audio down one wire in one small, convenient cable from the latest digital sources. IMLS100 is not susceptible to your carís inherently noise-inducing environment. IMLS100 is a purely optical means of transferring bitstreams, making it virtually impervious to alternator whine, radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, or any other noise that typically invades audio interconnect cable and degrades performance. As a result, Music is reproduced with unprecedented clarity and accuracy.IMLS100 also features a high-density molded PVC connector boot with heavy-duty strain relief for superior protection of the delicate fiber. The fiber itself is encased in a protective, flexible DuraflexÆ jacket that makes routing through the car easy. A precision-polished termination and specially tuned fiber deliver incredibly accurate transfer of digital audio source signals. The resulting reduction in jitter-causing dispersion in the digital data stream means smoother, more natural digital sound.Traditionally, Toslink connections have proven to be the weak link in mobile fiber optic design. Monster has overcome this obstacle by precision - polishing our connections for a perfect termination of the fiber. The result is high signal transmission, low internal reflection and minimization of jitter and time distortion for the most accurate digital signal transfer. IMLS retails for $39.95/1 meter.Monster Cable is located in Brisbane, California.
