The Chord Company are a British hifi cable manufacturer, who design and construct some of the most highly regarded interconnects and speaker cables available on the market today. The company have claimed a vast number of awards for a wide range of their various interconnects and configurations, and are famous for employing innovative technologies and meticulous attention to detail with every product. 

The Optichord is no exception to this exceptional standard, and comprises of a flexible fibre, capable of carrying the digital signal with an unrelenting degree of accuracy. Chord believe that the quality of the tube within an optical cable is essential, as it acts as the wave guide for which the signal is transferred, and so have reflected this within the build quality of the interconnect. The PVC material surrounding the light tube has been specifically chosen by Chord engineers as being the best possible option for the Optichord. The outer jacket of the cable has also been chosen specifically, and is hard enough to prevent any potential crush damage taking place. 

The Optichord plugs are built to offer a positive and secure fit to the component, and are also positioned very precisely at the end of the cable. They're then domed and polished in order to allow for the highest possible level of bandwidth. The Optichord cable is also available with a minijack configuration, making it an ideal choice for the MAC-using audio enthusiast looking to achieve the best results from their system
