Optical Cable

Lower-Dispersion Higher Purity Fiber - Low-Jitter (Digital Timing Errors) - Finely Polished Optical Interface - 3.0m & Longer - In-Wall Rated PVCWhile, thanks to HDMI, Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player to an A/V receiver, Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, all sorts of products. And now, the 3.5mm Mini Optical connector, also somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink, is everywhere … from the 3.5mm dual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop, to inputs on some of the finest portables.For these many reasons, AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are now available Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical. LOWER-DISPERSION HIGHER-PURITY FIBER CONDUCTORSThe problem with optical fiber transmission is that dispersed light does get through the Toslink cable, but only after it has taken a longer path, like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails, causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding the information from being decoded properly, or even at all. This reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber, the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears.

Construction of the OPT-1 begins with medical-grade light conducting fiber. The fiber is then encapsulated in a thermal barrier that inhibits heat warping of the light-carrying fiber. A mechanical damping outer barrier is also applied to further protect the cable from damage. The ends are then cold-polished helping to further reduce the incidence of reflections. With such excellent light transfer characteristics, the result is a sound which is full, relaxed and transparent.
