Cordial ECLCDS122-100 - SPDIF/Word Clock Cable Reel 100m
The Cordial ECLCDS122-100 cable reel contains 100 meters of high-performance CDS 122 coaxial cable, specifically designed for transmitting SPDIF and Word Clock digital audio signals. This cable is the professional choice for recording studios, broadcast facilities, live sound, and audiophiles seeking a flawless, interference-free digital connection. Its precision construction and the use of high-quality materials ensure reliable, accurate data transmission with exceptional signal integrity over long distances.
The cable features a 0.22 mm² oxygen-free copper (Cu blank) inner conductor, composed of seven strands of 0.20 mm² each, ensuring optimal conductivity. Its polyethylene (PE) insulation contributes to low capacitance, less than 67 pF/m, minimizing high-frequency loss and preserving sound clarity. The bare copper braided shielding effectively protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), a crucial factor in environments with multiple electronic devices. All of this is encased in a robust yet flexible PVC jacket with an outer diameter of 6.1 mm, making it durable for everyday use and easy to install.

Product benefits
The Cordial ECLCDS122-100 is designed for sound engineers, installers, and musicians who demand the highest quality digital signal. Using this cable ensures that your digital equipment, such as converters, audio interfaces, and preamps, is perfectly synchronized via Word Clock, eliminating clicks and digital artifacts. In SPDIF transmissions, it guarantees bit-for-bit audio transfer, preserving the original fidelity of the recording or playback. Its robust construction ensures a long lifespan, even under the demanding conditions of a busy tour or studio.
Use cases
- Connecting professional studio equipment such as audio interfaces, AD/DA converters, microphone preamps, and digital mixing consoles.
- Synchronization of multiple digital devices using a Word Clock signal to maintain perfect temporal stability throughout the system.
- Cabling of effects racks and digital signal processors.
- Fixed installations in broadcast studios, post-production studios and theaters.
- Connection of high fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio equipment and home cinema that use SPDIF coaxial outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable for analog audio?
Not recommended. This cable is specifically designed with a 75-ohm impedance for SPDIF and Word Clock digital audio signals. While it could technically transmit an analog signal, its performance would not be optimal, and it is preferable to use a cable designed for analog audio.
Does this cable come with connectors?
No, the ECLCDS122-100 product is a 100-meter reel of cable without connectors. This allows you to cut the cable to the exact length required and solder on the connectors of your choice (such as RCA or BNC).
Is it flexible enough for stage use?
Yes, despite its robustness, the PVC cover provides good flexibility. The minimum recommended bending radius is approximately 63 mm, making it suitable for most live applications and mobile installations.
