Cable Do‘s & Don‘ts

Get The Most From Your Cables.

Just follow a few simple guidelines.

Please Do:

  • Generally keep cables as short as possible.
  • The plugs on most Atlas cables have a self-cleaning effect when inserted or removed, no cleaning agent is required in normal use.
  • To maintain signal integrity and quality, we recommend using Atlas cables & adapters throughout your system, including power management.
  • As a general rule, try to keep signal & speaker cables separated from power cables to minimise possible noise and interference.

Please Don’t:

  • Do not stretch, fold or bend cables at an acute angle. If you have excess cable, arrange in large loose loops.
  • Where cables are in close proximity, it’s best if they cross each other at an angle rather than run parallel. Try to keep contact between different cable types to a minimum.
  • Never leave cables connected to any equipment at one end only, it’s a potential source of interference.
  • Don’t compromise performance by attempting to join or splice cables, buy a longer one!
