Chord C-Lite Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable

  

The Chord C-lite optical cable is an original Chord Company design. The C-lite is available in a variety of lengths, fitted with both Toslink and mini-jack optical plugs. This means it can be connected to many of the miniature DACs and DAPs currently available, without having to use a signal degrading adaptor. There are 15cm and 30cm versions available for use with portable headphone amplifiers and DACs, available in mini-jack to Toslink and mini-jack to mini-jack configurations. 

The Chord C-lite uses a wide bandwidth PMA optical cable the ends of which have been polished to improve bandwidth. The central conductor is protected by an internal jacket of soft PVC which is then covered with a hard skin PVC outer jacket. This helps to prevent crush damage and is flexible enough to allow a tight bend radius without affecting the light carrier. 

The Chord C-lite is available in 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, and 10m lengths in both Toslink to Toslink and mini-jack to Toslink configurations. For portable equipment, the C-lite is available in 15cm and 30cm lengths, in Toslink to mini-jack and mini-jack to mini-jack configurations. 

To Obtain the Best Performance From This Cable :

  • Switch off all equipment before fitting or removing cables.
  • The C-lite cable is not directional and can used in either direction.
  • When fitting or removing, always use the plug and never pull directly on the cable.
  • Avoid touching the tip of the plug.
  • If the cable is frequently removed it is worth keeping the end caps that are supplied with the cables and replacing them when the cable is disconnected. This will protect the polished optical signal cable ends.

 

Specification :

  • Wide bandwidth PMA Optical Cable
  • Domed and polished cable end
  • 10 Year Warranty

Satisfied but the terminal is different what I ordered
22 Apr 2024
Verified Buyer
The overall quality of optical cables is very satisfactory.

But there's only one unfortunate thing: I ordered mini-Toslink to mini-Toslink, and I received mini-Toslink (round shape) to jack(square shape) terminal cable.

The product I originally ordered was out of stock, so I made an additional payment as a replacement and even checked it by e-mail with the person in charge, but it came with the wrong terminal.

I just use it cause it's hard to return.

The response was kind, so I'll give you 5 stars. :)

Excellent short ( 0.3m ) fibre optic cable.
9 Dec 2019
Verified Buyer
I needed a short optic cable to connect my Apple Express for music streaming to my DAC. The Chord C-Lite Toslink to mini Toslink (mini-jack) did the trick. This cable provides clear audio signals to my system making streaming music a much more enjoyable experience.

Thank you to the Chord Company for providing such an excellent cable and to FutureShop for providing such an efficient postal service and excellent website. Highly recommended!

Superb optical cable!.

The Chord Company C-lite optical cable is a superb digital interconnect I have one in the 15cm length with Toslink to mini-jack the smallest optical cable The Chord Company makes for use with my Chord Mojo DAC & my Astell & Kern AK100 II digital audio player.

This little cable is spot on and perfect for high end portable digital audio systems & the only one of this length on the market to my knowledge....well done to The Chord Company in producing such a great optical cable!
