AudioQuest OPTCARBON1POINT5M Carbon 1.5 Meter (4.9 Feet) Digital Optical 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, 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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This digital optical cable is 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) long, providing an optimal length for most audio setups. It is designed to offer flexibility without excess cable clutter, suitable for connecting various audio devices within close proximity.
-
The cable features 19 narrow-aperture synthetic fiber conductors, which are precision-polished to reduce signal distortion and ensure high-quality audio transmission. The use of low-dispersion, higher-purity fiber conductors helps minimize digital timing errors and maintain sound fidelity.
-
Yes, the cable includes a one-year parts and one-year labor warranty. This warranty coverage ensures peace of mind regarding the product's durability and performance over time.
-
While HDMI is more common for certain audio connections, this optical cable is widely used to connect devices such as cable boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, and portable audio equipment with 3.5mm Mini Optical connectors. It supports refined audio transmission for high-performance digital audio setups.
-
By using low-dispersion and higher-purity fiber conductors along with precision polished fiber ends, the cable minimizes light dispersion within the fiber. This reduces digital timing errors (low jitter) and distortion, allowing for clearer and more accurate analog audio signals, enhancing overall sound quality.
