The Cliff™ range of optical transmitter and receiver jacks feature several different models. These conform to the JEITA rectangular standard CP-1201, (also RC-5720 and JIS C5974-1993 F05), for digital audio interfaces including fibre-opticfiber-optic interconnections.
Optical jacks are virtually unaffected by noise when transmitting and receiving signals between digital audio equipment, enabling high quality audio recording and high speed signal receiving. It continues to be adopted as a virtual standard in portable audio equipment. Some models have a self-tapping hole for panel mounting. Some models replace the plug-in cover with a convenient hinged shutter to protect against contamination.
