Designed for high-resolution connections between digital sources—such as TVs, media streamers, set-top boxes, and laptops—to DACs, soundbars, and A\/V receivers, OptiLink cables are available in standard Toslink-to-Toslink and Toslink-to-3.5mm Mini Optical (Mini-Toslink) configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than using a single, thick 1.0mm synthetic conductor that causes internal reflection delays, AudioQuest employs advanced multi-fiber conductors and high-purity polymers. By narrowing the aperture of light entry into each fiber, the cable minimizes phase smearing and prevents time-delay jitter, delivering lower distortion and maximum bandwidth for digital-to-analog decoding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp; PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow-Aperture Multi-Fiber Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Replaces single large-diameter fibers with hundreds of ultra-fine fibers bundled into a 1.0mm assembly to restrict light entry angles and eliminate dispersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime-Domain Dispersion Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents signal timing errors caused by light reflecting off internal fiber walls, ensuring digital data arrives in a tight time-envelope for accurate DAC decoding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Purity Fiber Dielectric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured with refined optical polymers and quartz materials to minimize light absorption and optical impurities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Polished Fiber Ends:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optically polished conductor ends ensure smooth light transfer and minimal reflection loss at connection interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Termination Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available with standard Toslink (EIA-J) or 3.5mm Mini Optical connectors to fit laptops, portable players, and traditional hi-fi components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAudioQuest OptiLink Optical Digital Cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSignal Protocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eS\/P-DIF Optical Digital Audio (EIA-J)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConductor Architecture\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNarrow-Aperture Multi-Fiber Bundle or High-Purity Optical Synthetic Conductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTermination Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull-Size Toslink to Toslink \/ Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Distortion Reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMinimizes Light Dispersion \u0026amp; Time-Delay Jitter\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApplications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTVs, Media Players, Laptops, Streamers, Soundbars, AV Receivers, and DACs\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAudioQuest (USA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"0.75m","offer_id":52739699147018,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8819","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5m","offer_id":52739699179786,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8820","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/audioquest-pearl-optilink-cable-40276-p_cb0e7d41-f277-4427-b1f1-c6ac9fa554f3.jpg?v=1773933091","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/aq-pearl-opti","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
