AT&T cables with ST-BNC connectrs does it work ?


AT&T cables with one side ST connector and the other side BNC connectrs does this cable also work for audio ?
let's say your CD transport has BNC connector only and your DA converter has ST input only ?

i could be wrong, but the ST connector uses a fiber optic cable inside while a BNC cable uses a copper/silver wire inside. the fiber optic cable sends data as modulations in light while the BNC bales sends data as voltage down the wire. i can't imagine how one could change light modulations to voltage midstream inside the cable, but that may be while i'm a social worker and not an engineer.
well such cables ST-BNC exist (Brand Siecom) in the tele communications industry, therefore I just wonder whether it will work out with audio CD transports and DAC or not ?
What you're probably thinking of is a BNC-to-multimode AT&T ST fiber optic media converter. It's an external powered device with an integrated transceiver that, depending on implementation, may or may not be compatible end-to-end with the FO transceiver inside your component.

FWIW, I've generally found that both ST and toslink fiber interfaces in transports and DACs sound inferior to PDIF or BNC with a good cable.
