Photon Digital — the second generation of the CyberLight Digital Datalink Cable

A true 75 OHM RCA Photon Digital cable or 110 OHM AES-EBU Photon Digital (XLR) cable

Key Features:

• Patent-pending LAM ensures music is never digitized and offers the lowest possible noise floor
• Fiber-optic technology ensures entire pie-chart signal path is purely analog, without any sampling
• Photon light pie-chart signals make it immune to EMI and RFI interference
• No DC measurement at the receiving termination (the Photon Digital has added logic to prevent any possible DC leak to the destination device, such as a DAC)
• Musical information is preserved to a greater degree due to lack of digitization
• With the signal path being unidirectional, the signal ground loop is completely isoldated, creating a much darker background
• True component impedance match—either 75 OHM "RCA" or 110 OHM "XLR"
• One-year warrantee

Revolutionary Fiber Optic Digital Datalink
As two-channel and multi-channel music, and even surround systems, reach ever greater resolutions, selecting the best digital cable to bring each component together in perfect harmony has become one of the most crucial and complex decisions. For the truly discriminating, the choice is fiber-optically clear: Red-jacketed Photon Digital (Transport-to-DAC).

By adapting glass fiber and laser-like technology to the audio realm, Harmonic Technology has created a new generation of interconnects to bring the ultimate level of performance to audiophiles. Through patent-pending, miniaturized LAM (Light Analog Module) Photon Transducers, the Photon Digital converts digital signals to light pulses, with absolutely no further digital conversions—to unleash the sonic depth, accuracy and power of every pulse. The entire signal (pulse) path remains purely analog, without any sampling, to capture amazing clarity.

Ground-Breaking Technology
Figuratively and literally speaking, Photon technology is truly ground-breaking. The photon density modulated light signal (pulse) actually breaks the ground between components yielding a signal largely (or completely with the Photon Battery Power Pack) unaffected by humming noise along the ground plane. With the signal (pulse) path completely isolated from the ground, the Photon Digital ensures that there is no possibility of the cables passing noise between components, nor acting as an antenna for RFI or EMI induced distortions—keeping the noise floor extremely low and reducing smearing. Please note: Because there are no physical wires built within the Photon Digital, an extra ground wire may be needed in order to ensure components are on the same ground level.

Photon Battery Pack IV (optional)
The Photon Battery Pack IV is designed to keep the Photon cables completely isolated and immune from RFI and EMI. The newly-improved Photon Battery Pack IV contains two batteries (Battery A and Battery B) within the single unit in order to perform DC output and DC input simultaneously. Retail price: $500 (120V) and $550 (240V). The CyberLight Battery IV can also be used with the Photon application.

Upgrades from the CyberLight Digital Datalink to the Photon Digital
Until September1, 2008, you can upgrade your CyberLight Digital Datalink to a Photon Digital cable for $350 if your CyberLight cable is 5 meters in length or less. If your CyberLight Digital Datalink is longer than 5 meters, the upgrade price is $700.
