This version has a full-size Toslink plug at one end and a mini-jack optical plug at the other, in a 1m length. Chord made C-lite with both kinds of plug so that it can connect to many of the miniature DACs and digital audio players available today without a signal-degrading adaptor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChord uses a wide-bandwidth PMA optical cable and specifies C-lite to pass signals up to 96K, in keeping with the industry standard. The central conductor sits inside an internal jacket of soft PVC, which is covered by a hard-skin PVC outer jacket. Chord says this helps prevent crush damage while staying flexible enough for a tight bend radius without affecting the light carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it between a device with a Toslink optical socket and one with a mini-jack optical socket: for example the optical output of a CD player such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/shanling-cr60-cd-player-with-optical-coaxial-and-usb-outputs\"\u003eShanling CR60\u003c\/a\u003e and the mini-jack optical input of a portable DAC or player. The mini-jack plug carries a digital signal as light: it is not an analogue headphone plug, so it needs a socket made for optical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Hi-Fi Choice said\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi-Fi Choice reviewed C-lite in issue 485 (February 2022), testing the 1m Toslink to Toslink version. It found the cable “nicely made” and the quality of the Toslink plugs “very good”, and wrote that a full orchestral recording “demonstrates how well the C-lite transports everything .. including the quieter sections of the piece and the powerful drums that propel you through the music.” Its verdict: “a very nicely made and affordable optical cable that will suit most systems well.” It gave C-lite five stars and a Recommended badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical digital interconnect\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlugs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToslink to mini-jack optical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptical cable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWide-bandwidth PMA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSignals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 96K (Chord)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJacket\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft PVC inner, hard-skin PVC outer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChord also makes this Toslink to mini-jack version in 15cm, 30cm, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m and 10m, and C-lite as Toslink to Toslink and mini-jack to mini-jack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinking by coaxial digital instead?
