Description
Reference Optical Quartz.
QED’s superior Toslink Optical digital audio interconnect cable made with real glass.
Reference Optical Quartz is the first of its kind, consisting of 210 separate boro-silicate glass fibres.
The cable allows you to experience stunning sound because it has a much higher bandwidth and only 1/10th of the attenuation of traditional acrylic fibres.
It vastly exceeds the demands for high definition multi-channel digital audio with a bandwidth of over 150MHz which is totally unaffected by bending the cable.
QED’s new Glasscore technology employs multiple fibre bundles of ultra-fine boro-silicate glass optical fibres (GOF) of no more than 50um each to make up the 1 mm diameter necessary to conform to the Toslink standard connectors.
The quartz fibres are coated with a cladding of low Refractive Index to guide the light signal.
Because the fibres are so small the different paths taken by the light rays are similar in length virtually eliminating the timing error and introducing less distortion and jitter.
This has the effect of increasing bandwidth and the accuracy of the data transmission.
