QED's multi-award winning toslink optical digital audio cable.

  

QED Performance Toslink to Mini Toslink Digital Optical Cable 

 

QED's multi-award winning toslink optical digital audio cable.

The award winning Performance Graphite Optical cable allows you to experience superior sound when connecting Apple devices, DAC's, TVs, CD players and Blu-rayTM players to amplifiers or receivers. Performance Optical utilises a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic glass optical fibre to comfortably transmit the higher bandwidth signals demanded by today's multi-channel digital audio links. The cable is optimised for a 'very low jitter' design to reduce digital errors, making for a cleaner audio data transmission. Here at QED we are so confident about the performance of our product that we offer a lifetime guarantee. 

 

"After some tweaking by QED's boffins, the Performance Optical has become a force to be reckoned with. This sturdy little cable worked well with our reference CD and DAC set-up, allowing them to reveal verve and punch when needed, together with transparency and a pleasing sense of detail. Optical cables really can make a difference to your set-up, and this nifty QED sits at the top of the tree as far as we're concerned. Try it yourself."

Best Digital Interconnect What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Awards 2011

"The Performance Graphite is a well-made cable, with a flexible but tough body, and beautiful, high-quality plugs. The sound it conveys is versatile and balanced, equally adept at expressing bass and treble.(Read more)

Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Acrylic Glass Optical Fibre

This new optical fibre boasts half the signal attenuation per metre of the previous Performance model, which means ‘Performance Graphite' comfortably transmits the higher bandwidth signals for multi channel audio. For HD multi channel audio applications (over 12MHz) please see our Reference Optical Quartz cable 

 

Very Low Jitter Design

At QED we have identified jitter or distortions caused by errors in the light transmission as a major factor in the deterioration of the audio signal. By incorporating precision cladding techniques jitter is reduced enabling a cleaner signal with better dynamics and a wider sound stage. 

 

Very Low Loss

Very Low loss < 0.15dB attenuation per metre The new, award winning ‘Performance Graphite’ Optical cable utilises the superior PMMA acrylic glass optical fibre previously only available in our ‘Reference’ range products. 

 

QED Very Low Jitter

Very Low Jitter

Jitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. A cable displaying very low jitter has been measured at
typically 50ps.

  

The new optical fibre boasts half the signal attenuation per metre of the previous model, which means ‘Performance Graphite comfortably transmits the higher bandwidth signals demanded by today’s multi-channel digital audio links. The cable features a stepped refractive index core that together with precision cladding techniques minimises light absorption and modal dispersion of single mode optical signals at the fibre boundary. This reduces the angle of incidence at which total internal reflection occurs so that more rays can propagate along the cable, which in turn makes for decreased jitter and improved audio data transmission.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: The cable connects my MacBook to the Dac. Works perfect. Captive covers on the plugs would be nice. Cover caps are included, but they are tiny and unsecured

Das Kabel verbindet mein MacBook mit dem Dac. Funktioniert perfekt. Schön wären unverlierbare Abdeckungen an den Steckern. Es werden Abdeckkappen mitgeliefert, aber die sind winzig und ohne Sicherung.

A very well-made cable from QED. I'm never quite sure as to whether digital interconnects can show too much variety, however, it's nice to know there isn't a weak link in my system. Great service as ever from Futureshop.

Verified Buyer
Would use these guys again for any cabling supplies etc. Was worried that the plug would not fit my ADM9.1 speakers, so had to get them to check the diameter of the plug. They could not have been more helpful over the phone. Many thanks plug / cable fitted perfectly and has really brought my speakers to life compared to the analogue leads.
