AudioQuest Vodka Optical Cables

Toslink optical cable with 217 narrow-aperture synthetic fibers

Vodka Optical is a digital fiber-optic cable for Toslink links between digital sources and audio components. Its conductor is made up of 217 very thin synthetic fibers, each with a small aperture.

Fibers and dispersion

In optical cables, scattered light covers a longer route and lands after the rest of the signal: bandwidth narrows and data decoding becomes less accurate, to the point where it may fail. Splitting the conductor into 217 narrow-aperture fibers limits how much the light bounces and therefore the dispersion, lowering distortion in the final analog signal.
