AudioQuest Cinnamon OptiLink Toslink Optical Cable with Mini-Adaptor
The AudioQuest Cinnamon OptiLink is a premium Toslink fiber-optic digital audio cable engineered to minimize timing errors, improve bandwidth, and optimize signal integrity. Featuring AudioQuest's lowest-dispersion, highest-purity fiber conductor, the Cinnamon OptiLink is ideal for connecting soundbars, subwoofers, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, TVs, and A/V receivers — anywhere a Toslink optical connection is required. A Toslink-to-3.5mm mini-optical adaptor is included for compatibility with devices featuring a mini-optical output.
Key Technology
Lowest-Dispersion, Highest-Purity Fiber Conductor
In optical fiber transmission, dispersed light travels a longer path — like a pool ball bouncing off side-rails — arriving later than the direct signal. This delayed light prevents the decoding processor from accurately reconstructing the digital signal, reducing bandwidth and introducing distortion into the final analog audio output. AudioQuest's lowest-dispersion, highest-purity fiber minimizes this effect, delivering a more accurate, lower-distortion digital signal and a more natural, detailed sound.
Precision-Polished Fiber Ends
The fiber terminations are precision-polished to ensure maximum light transmission and minimal signal loss at the connector interface. This reduces jitter and improves the reliability of the digital data stream.
Optimized for Bandwidth
The Cinnamon's fiber specification supports the full bandwidth required for PCM stereo, Dolby Digital, and DTS surround formats transmitted over Toslink, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of A/V equipment.
Toslink Mini-Adaptor Included
A Toslink-to-3.5mm mini-optical adaptor is included, enabling connection to laptops, portable media players, and other devices equipped with a 3.5mm mini-optical output.

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
