Hosa EBU-020 AES/EBU Cable — 110-Ohm XLR3F to XLR3M, 20ft
EBU-020 Overview
The Hosa EBU-020 is a professional-grade AES/EBU digital audio cable built to true 110-ohm characteristic impedance per the AES3 standard, preventing signal reflections and timing jitter that degrade digital audio integrity. Terminated with XLR3F to XLR3M connectors and constructed with 24 AWG dual OFC conductors and a high-density OFC braided shield, this cable delivers reliable, interference-free performance in demanding studio and live environments. At 20 feet, it suits rack-to-rack runs, console-to-processor connections, and direct digital feeds to studio monitors. Engineers, system integrators, and touring professionals will find it equally at home in fixed installations and on the road.
The EBU-020 also meets DMX512 electrical requirements, making it a practical dual-purpose cable for productions that combine digital audio and lighting control infrastructure.
Key Features
