The Reference Optical Quartz digital cable from QED is a highly unique product, it is a superior toslink optical digital audio cable constructed with real glass. With this cable you can connect a CD or DVD Player, a Digital TV Box and a Games Console to your AV Amplifier or Receiver, Stereo Amplifier and a DAC.

The Reference Optical Quartz is crafted with 210 separate boro-silicate glass fibres. This cable gives you the experience of stunning sound when connecting DAC's, TV’s, CD players and Blu-Ray players to amplifiers or receivers, due to it having double the bandwidth and only 1/10th of the attenuation of traditional acrylic fibres. The Reference Optical Quartz cable easily exceeds the demands of high-definition multi-channel digital signals with a bandwidth of up to 12MHz which is totally unaffected by the cablle being bent.

The Glasscore™ technology developed by QED uses multiple fibre bundles of ultra-fine boro-silicate glass optical fibres (GOF) that are not more than 50um each to make up the 1mm diameter necessary to conform to the Toslink standard connectors. Since as the fibres are so very small the different paths taken by the light rays are similar in length virtually eliminating the timing error and giving less distortion and jitter. 

This cable easily exceeds the demands from high-definition multi-channel HD digital audio and 24/192 files. In comparison to regular optical cables, it is completely unaffected by bending the cable. 

QED calculated that the Jitter or distortions caused by timing errors between the different light paths in regular optical cables could typically reach up to 145ps. In Reference Optical Quartz, the timing errors are virtually eliminated, meaning less distortion, jitter and ultra low loss < 0.03 dB/m.

We are an authorised QED dealership, so you can be assured of genuine products, covered by a full manufacturers warranty.
