AudioQuest Pearl Fiber Optic Digital Cable

This cable is designed to bridge devices with a 3.5mm mini-optical output—commonly found on laptops, portable audio players, and some gaming consoles—to standard full-size Toslink inputs found on receivers, DACs, and soundbars.

Because this is a fiber optic cable, it is highly resistant to the signal degradation that plagues long copper cables. The multi-fiber design and precision-polished ends are specifically engineered to maintain high-fidelity transmission even at this 16-meter length.

Yes, this cable features an in-wall rated PVC jacket, which means it meets safety standards for residential installation. It is a great choice for clean, hidden cable runs between your equipment.

Standard optical cables can suffer from light dispersion, which leads to signal jitter and timing errors. The multi-fiber bundle in this cable minimizes that dispersion, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate digital signal reaching your audio components.

No adapters are required. The cable is built with a 3.5mm mini-optical connector on one end and a standard full-size Toslink connector on the other, allowing for a direct plug-and-play connection between those specific port types.
