ADAT Lightpipe
The ADAT lightpipe, officially the ADAT Optical Interface, is a standard for the transfer of digital audio between equipment. It was originally developed by Alesis but has since become widely accepted, with many third party hardware manufacturers including lightpipe interfaces on their equipment. So popular has the protocol become that the term "ADAT" is now often used to refer to the transfer standard rather than the Alesis Digital Audio Tape itself.
