Low-Dispersion Fiber Conductor
The problem with optical fiber transmission is that dispersed light does get through the Toslink cable, but only after it has taken a longer path, like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails, causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding the information from being decoded properly, or even at all. This reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber, the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears.
Finely Polished Optical Interface
Low-Jitter
- Fits most TOSLINK and mini TOSLINK connectors: To ensure a simple connection.
- PVC jacket material: Protects the interior cable and components from dust, moisture and breakages.

Q What is the Audioquest Pearl Optical to 3.5mm Mini cable and what is it used for?
It's a digital optical cable with a TOSLINK connector on one end and a 3.5mm mini connector on the other, engineered for connecting soundbars, subwoofers, and other A/V components with either connector type.
Q How does it improve audio quality over a standard optical cable?
It uses low-dispersion fiber and a finely polished optical interface to minimize timing errors and reduce distortion, resulting in low-jitter performance.
Q What connector types does it have?
A standard TOSLINK optical connector on one end and a 3.5mm mini TOSLINK connector on the other, fitting most TOSLINK and mini-TOSLINK ports.
Q What is the cable jacket made of?
A black-with-gray-stripes CL3/FT4-rated PVC jacket, which protects the internal cable and components from dust, moisture, and breakage.
Q What lengths are available?
0.75m, 1.5m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 12m, or 16m.
