Hardlok Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Greetings! Is anyone here using denon-link to connect a denon dvd player to a denon AV amp? I need to know what the connectors look like, so that I can try to get a cable shop to make one for me :-\ Close-up shots of both connectors at various angles would be a great help! If you want any favour in return that I can provide, I'll be glad to oblige! Anyone?
varun1624705824 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Looks like a standard ethernet cable and I wouldn't be surprised if it IS a standard ethernet cable. I suggest trying one of these first. Not putting up a picture as it will only show you exactly the same thing: looks like a standard ethernet cable. That said, they may be crossing over Rx Tx, so I would suggest you get TWO ethernet cables (they're cheap anyway): one that's standard and one that's a cross-over. - V.
Hardlok Posted April 25, 2006 Author Posted April 25, 2006 Hi! Thanks for your comment. What little I know is that the cable is a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable. It is not a standard Cat 5 UTP cable. It is wired in LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signalling), whatever that means. But it sure sounds more sophisticated than standard ethernet. From what I could find on the net, it seems to be a sort of Cat7 cable (individually shielded strands), terminated in standard RJ45 (as opposed to the standard GG45). Dunno about the cabling config though. Denon link supports gigabit data transfer, is extremely low jitter and low noise, and is touted to be a true balanced umbilical cord. In that sense, it is superior to ilink other than for the fact that it is proprietary. So would you take the photos for me anyway? Please? Heheh thanks!
