Know before you buy
The DA206 is engineered with special PE filter rods that maintain a precise 110-ohm impedance, even when the cable is bent or coiled. This stability allows for reliable signal transmission over distances up to 360 meters.
While the DA206 is specifically optimized for 110-ohm AES/EBU digital audio, its high-quality 20 AWG conductors and 95% shield coverage mean it can technically carry analog signals. However, it is best utilized in professional digital environments where impedance matching is critical.
The 95% shield coverage provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. This high level of shielding is essential for maintaining signal integrity in broadcast or studio environments where other electronic equipment may cause crosstalk.
Yes, the cable is designed with a 7.3 mm outer diameter and a 60 mm twist pitch, balancing durability with sufficient flexibility. It is robust enough to handle the rigors of professional broadcast and stage setups while remaining manageable for routing.
The DA206 is sold by the foot, allowing you to order the exact length required for your specific installation. This helps minimize signal loss from excess cable and keeps your setup clean and organized.
