Grey 3-foot Toslink cable

The EMK Toslink digital optical audio cable measures three feet or one metre and uses a male-to-male fibre-optic link to carry S/PDIF signals between TVs, soundbars, game consoles and other devices with optical ports. A cotton-braided jacket and dust-proof rubber caps protect the connectors when not in use.

Optical S/PDIF bandwidth limits

The optical S/PDIF interface carries uncompressed PCM stereo and compressed 5.1 to 7.1 surround formats such as Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution, but it cannot transport lossless multichannel codecs or object-based audio. Electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference are eliminated by the light-based PMMA fibre core.

Male-to-male connector requirement

Both ends terminate in standard square Toslink plugs, so the source and the receiver must each provide a female optical port; equipment that only offers coaxial, HDMI or analogue outputs will not connect with this cable.

Questions about this item

What length should I choose for a soundbar placed close to the TV?

The 3 ft (1 m) Grey version keeps the run short and tidy, while longer 5 ft, 6.6 ft, 10 ft, 15 ft and 26 ft options are available if the components sit further apart.

Will this cable carry 5.1 surround sound from my console to the receiver?

Yes, the optical link passes uncompressed PCM and compressed 5.1 to 7.1 formats including Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution without electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference.

What does the Toslink (S/PDIF) interface actually limit in my setup?

The standard caps you to two-channel PCM or compressed 5.1/7.1 bitstreams; it cannot transport lossless multichannel formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio.
