Chord C-Lite Optical Cable

Chord C-Lite Optical Cable

The C-Lite is Chord Company's entry-level optical digital cable. Choose it with a Toslink plug at one end and an optical mini-jack at the other, or with a mini-jack at both ends. That means portable players, compact DACs and other equipment with 3.5mm optical sockets connect directly, with no adaptor in the way.

The cable uses wide-bandwidth PMA optical fibre with domed, polished ends. A soft PVC inner jacket and a tough PVC outer protect the fibre from crushing, and the cable stays flexible enough for tight bends.

Getting It Right

Toslink is the square optical socket found on most TVs, CD players, DACs and amplifiers. Mini Toslink is the 3.5mm optical socket found on many portable players and compact DACs. Check the socket at each end of your system before you order.
