Monoprice 106270 Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable

This 10 ft cable carries S/PDIF optical audio between devices with Toslink ports. It handles uncompressed two-channel PCM and compressed formats such as Dolby 5.1 and DTS 7.1 surround sound. The optical link removes ground-loop hum and rejects electrical interference. It suits home-theatre, console and sound-bar connections where a Toslink link is required.

Capacity and headroom: what it comfortably handles.

The cable transmits stereo PCM and standard multichannel bitstreams up to Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 7.1 without loss. It does not carry high-resolution formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio because optical S/PDIF lacks the bandwidth. Runs longer than 10 ft may need a repeater for reliable signal integrity.

Single specification that decides fit

Male-to-male full-sized Toslink connectors on both ends are the only interface provided. Verify that your source and receiver both use standard square Toslink ports before purchase. The metal mesh jacket and metal connector heads add physical durability but do not change the electrical or optical specification.

Questions about this item

Will this 10 ft Toslink cable connect cleanly to the optical port on my older AV receiver?

Yes, the full-sized male Toslink connectors on both ends fit standard optical S/PDIF ports found on legacy receivers, soundbars and game consoles.

How can I verify the 10 ft cable is passing Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 correctly after I plug it in?

Play a known multichannel test file; your receiver should display the Dolby or DTS format and all channels should be audible without dropouts.

Does the 106270 cable come with any adapters or do I need to buy mini-Toslink plugs separately?

The box contains only the 10 ft cable with two full-sized metal-head Toslink connectors; mini-Toslink adapters are not included and must be purchased separately.
