They were long, thin and cylindrical in shape and unlike standard isolinear rods which were a translucent dark amber, optolythic data rods were clear with a light blue tint. In 2374, Garak, acting under instruction from Captain Benjamin Sisko managed to obtain an optolythic data rod as part of an elaborate plot to bring the Romulans into the Dominion War. The source demanded 85 liters of bio-mimetic gel, which Sisko wanted to refuse but was persuaded not to since the rod was necessary for the plan's success and obtaining it was "a minor miracle." Unfortunately for them, Romulan Senator Vreenak discovered the data contained on the rod to be a fake; however he was killed before he could report the information back to his government.

- An optolythic data rod is a device used to store information. In 2374, Elim Garak obtained a Cardassian optolythic data rod that Grathon Tolar transferred a forged recording of Weyoun and Damar discussing the invasion of Romulus onto. Senator Vreenak would later take possession of the data rod and discovered the information on it had been faked. After Vreenak's shuttle was later destroyed, the Tal Shiar analysed the optolythic data rod and concluded the information was genuine. (DS9 episode: "In the Pale Moonlight", DS9 novel: Hollow Men)
