What this cable does

This Monoprice Toslink cable carries digital optical audio between devices with full-sized S/PDIF ports. It supports uncompressed two-channel PCM and compressed multichannel formats such as DTS or Dolby 5.1 and 7.1. The 10-foot length suits typical living-room or desktop setups.

Limits of the optical link

Being an optical signal, the connection avoids electrical crosstalk, magnetic interference and radio-frequency interference. Bandwidth is restricted to the standard S/PDIF specification, so high-resolution multichannel formats beyond Dolby 7.1 or DTS cannot be transmitted. The 5.0 mm diameter and molded strain relief protect the fiber during routing.

Deciding specification

The critical detail is the connector gender: both ends are male full-sized Toslink plugs. Verify that your source and receiver each present a female Toslink port before purchasing. If either device uses a mini-Toslink or coaxial S/PDIF jack, this cable will not fit.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10 foot length or a different cable size for my setup?

The cable is 10 feet long (3.048 metres). Measure the distance between your source and receiver, adding slack for routing, to decide if this length fits.

What audio formats can this Toslink cable actually carry in my system?

It transmits uncompressed 2-channel PCM or compressed multichannel audio such as DTS, Dolby 5.1 or Dolby 7.1 through the optical S/PDIF interface.

Does the gold-plated ferrule and 5.0 mm diameter affect the connection reliability or signal limit?

The gold-plated ferrule resists corrosion and protects the connector tip, while precision-polished fibre tips ensure maximum signal transfer within the standard Toslink specification.
