ADOT ONI-100 Optical Network Isolator

Why use the ONI-100?

ADOT developed the concept of using Fibre Optics to isolate this noise while rebuilding and retaining the music data with the launch of the ADOT MC01.

The ADOT MC01 concept is improving systems worldwide, by using SFP connectors for connectivity. But most home networks, hifi components and even audiophile switches, use conventional RJ45 connectors.

The ADOT ONI-100 offers all the advantages of ADOT MC01 in a simple device that connects using a pair of standard RJ 45 network cables. The optical isolation is all performed internal on the ONI-100, keeping the installation simple and tidy.

The reason is simple.

Behind the 0’s and 1’s hi-fi electrical signals are still analogue, and just as susceptible to the influence from noise and interference. This additional noise damages the integrity of the pulse edges. This uncertain transition point, of a noisy pulse edge, results in timing errors and jitter.

The solution is simple too.

By breaking the conducted signal, we remove the interference and isolate the hi-fi system. This is done with fibre optics––now the data can be communicated to the digital components, but without any risk of introducing any conducted interference and noise.
