Build Quality – The connectors on the Loops switch and splitter are made from a solid metal alloy for durability and have a 24 carat gold plating. Gold plated connectors provide a better signal transmission and ensure minimal loss of quality. The splitter box has an outer metal case and features a sleek powder coated finish.
