Monoprice 102668 toslink digital optical audio cable 25 feet

25-foot Toslink optical audio cable

This 25-foot Toslink digital optical audio cable carries S/PDIF signals between compatible audio devices. The male-to-male connectors are gold-plated at the ferrule to resist corrosion and protect the tip. A 5.0 mm outside diameter and molded strain-relief boots reduce stress at the connector junctions. It supports uncompressed two-channel PCM as well as compressed multichannel formats such as DTS and Dolby 5.1 or 7.1.

Home-theatre and stereo owners needing a long

The length suits installations where the source and receiver are separated by several metres, such as a TV to a soundbar or an AV receiver across a room. Because the signal is optical, it avoids electrical crosstalk, magnetic interference and radio-frequency noise. Buyers who require coaxial electrical S/PDIF, HDMI audio return channel or analogue RCA connections should look at a different cable type.

Fits any device with a standard Toslink port

Each end terminates in a full-size Toslink plug, so the cable connects directly to optical outputs on TVs, game consoles, media players or DACs and to optical inputs on soundbars, receivers or powered speakers. No external power or driver is needed; the optical link frees the audio path from ground-loop hum and electromagnetic pickup that can affect copper interconnects.
