Q.  How many Cable Isolators do I need?
A.  The number of Cable Isolators™ needed varies based upon the following criteria; length of cable in contact with floor, thickness of cable and how rigid the cable is.  Usually you can space them anywhere from 10"-18" apart.  Figure out how many inches of cable are in contact with the floor and divide by 14.  This will give you an approximate idea of how many Cable Isolators are needed. It is usually best to get a couple extra Cable Isolators™ just in case you end up needing more. 

 

Q.  How far apart should I space Cable Isolators?
A.  This will depend on the rigidity of your cables.  Softer cables will sag when Cable Isolators™ are too far apart.  Stiffer cables won't need Cable Isolators™ to be as close together.  The general rule is to keep your cables suspended parallel with the floor and minimize any sagging in the cable.  Click here for a visual representation of  how your Cable Isolators™ should be set up. Also refer back to  question 1 or view the Customer Gallery for examples.

 

Q.  Which cables in my system need Cable Isolators?
A.  All cables will benefit from being elevated off the floor.  This includes your power cords, speaker cables, analog & digital interconnects as well as your video cables.

 

Q.  How do Cable Isolators work?
A. Cable Isolators™ help to isolate cables from floor borne vibrations, the harmful effects of the dielectric build up in carpet and they dissipate static charges away from your cables.  Cable Isolators™ remove any minute layers of distortion and haze in your cables providing a clean background for your music to emerge.  Cable Isolators™ also promote proper organization of your cables so power cords and signal cables are not laying next to one another which would cause interference.
