About This Item

Enjoy cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful sound from a wide range of modern and legacy digital devices—CD players, cable boxes, HDTVs, powered speakers and subwoofers, soundbars, laptops, portable-audio players, game consoles, and more—with this high-performance, low-noise AudioQuest Carbon optical cable. Like all AudioQuest products, Carbon Optical cable is meticulously designed for outstanding performance and exceptional value. The single large fiber in most Toslink cables allows light from the LED source to enter at many different angles, causing signal paths of various lengths, smearing the data across time, reducing bandwidth, and causing a loss of information: audible signal distortion caused by the complex dispersion of light. AudioQuest’s Carbon Optical cable, however, features 19 narrow-aperture fibers of the highest-purity synthetic, creating a cleaner, more direct signal path with significantly reduced dispersion and lower distortion. Further, AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable uses precision-polished fiber ends. The non-metallic connection provides critical galvanic isolation, eliminating the transmission and pickup of induced radio-frequency noise. Includes 3.5mm mini-toslink adaptor. All standard lengths of AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable of 8m and greater feature a PVC outer jacket rated for in-wall use. Enjoy cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful and intelligible sound with AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable.
