RapcoHorizon WDC-5 5' Wordclock/Digital Control Cable

Accurate Word Clock Cable for Digital Audio Sync

The RapcoHorizon WDC-5 is a 5-foot word clock and digital control cable designed to keep digital audio devices synchronized with precise timing. It connects word clock outputs and inputs on interfaces, converters, digital mixers, and recording systems, helping ensure stable clocking and consistent performance in studio, broadcast, and production environments.

Designed for Reliable Digital Timing

This cable is engineered specifically for word clock distribution where signal accuracy is critical. Its true 75-ohm coaxial design supports clean clock transmission and helps prevent timing errors that can lead to clicks, pops, or jitter in digital audio systems. The shorter 5-foot length is ideal for rack-level connections and compact setups.

Professional Coaxial Cable Construction

The WDC-5 uses LV-61S coaxial digital cable with a 24 AWG center conductor to maintain consistent signal flow. A bare annealed copper braid provides robust shielding, reducing interference from surrounding power cables and electronic equipment commonly found in studios and control rooms.

Electrical Performance Optimized for Word Clock

With a nominal capacitance of 21 pF per foot and a true 75-ohm impedance, this cable is tuned for digital clock accuracy. These specifications help preserve waveform integrity and maintain dependable synchronization across connected devices, even in demanding professional audio applications.

Secure Neutrik BNC Connectivity

Neutrik NBNC75BLP9 75-ohm BNC connectors are used on both ends to ensure a secure, impedance-matched connection. These professional-grade connectors reduce signal loss and help prevent accidental disconnects during installation or routine equipment changes.

Durable Jacket for Studio and Installation Use

A matte PVC outer jacket protects the internal conductors while remaining flexible enough for easy routing in racks or behind consoles. With an overall diameter of 0.240 inches, the cable balances durability with manageability for both permanent installations and portable setups.
