Description

The QED Reference Optical Quartz Lead is the first of its kind, consisting of 210 separate boro-silicate glass fibres. The cable allows you to experience stunning sound when connecting DACs, TV’s, CD players and Blu-Ray players to amplifiers or receivers because it has a much higher bandwidth and only 1/10th of the attenuation of traditional acrylic fibres.

Reference Optical Quartz vastly exceeds the demands for high-definition multi-channel digital audio with a bandwidth of over 150MHz which is also totally unaffected by bending the cable.

Glasscore Technology

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.

Because the fibres are so small the different paths the light rays take 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.

Stepped Refractive Index

The Reference Optical quartz fibres are coated with a cladding of low Refractive Index to guide the light signal.

Over 150MHz Bandwidth

This vastly exceeds the demands for high-definition multi-channel HD digital audio. In contrast to acrylic glass optical cables, quartz glass cables deliver signals up to 24bit/192kHz with very low jitter.

Reference Optical Quartz can provide a much higher bandwidth than a single acrylic glass fibre with 1/10th of the attenuation.

Ultra Low Jitter

QED have calculated that jitter (distortions caused by timing differences between the different light paths) in conventional optical cables could typically reach up to 145ps. The Reference Optical Quartz introduces less distortion, jitter and ultra low loss < 0.03 dB/m, virtually eliminating timing errors.
