What it connects

This 3‑foot cable links a mini‑Toslink 3.5 mm optical port to a full‑size Toslink port. It carries uncompressed lossless PCM and compressed 5.1‑channel audio between devices such as MacBooks, iMacs, Mac mini, Apple TV accessories, Chromecast Audio and select portable players. It is not an analog‑to‑digital converter and will not fit a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Signal integrity

Precision‑polished fiber core keeps attenuation at ≤0.2 dB per metre and connection loss at ≤0.5 dB across a 6 MHz bandwidth. The optical path eliminates RF, EM and ground‑loop interference, while metal connectors damp vibration for stable digital transmission.

Build details

24 K gold‑plated ferrules resist corrosion and protect the fiber tips. A 5.0 mm OD PVC jacket with strain‑relief construction adds flexibility and guards against kinks during routing. No software or adapters are included; the cable is a passive, plug‑and‑play link.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5mm Mini-Toslink end without damaging the fiber core?

Align the Mini-Toslink male connector with the 3.5mm optical port on your MacBook Pro or other listed device, then push straight in until it clicks; do not force it at an angle or the polished fiber tip can chip.

What maintenance will the 24K gold-plated ferrules need over time?

The gold plating resists corrosion and tarnish, so no routine cleaning is required; simply keep the connector caps on when the cable is unplugged to protect the fiber tips from dust.

What is the first signal limit I will hit on a 3-foot run at 6 MHz bandwidth?

Attenuation of ≤0.2 dB per metre and connection loss of ≤0.5 dB are the limiting factors; both are well within S/PDIF specifications for this length.
