AudioQuest 1.5m Carbon Optical Toslink Fiber-Optic Cable with Mini-Adapter - High-Speed Digital Audio Connection for Home Theater & Sound Systems

Carbon Optical Toslink Full to Full Cable While 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, and 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 from Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical. Features Lower-Dispersion Higher-Purity Fiber Conductors The 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. 19 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors Low-Jitter Precision Polished Fiber Ends Connector Type Optical Cable Type Fiber Optic Length 1.5 Meters | 4.92 Feet Compatible Devices Laptop, Television, DVD Player, Speaker
