Compact SPDIF adapter for mini-optical devices

This TeKit adapter converts a full-size Toslink socket into a 3.5 mm optical port so you can connect mini-optical cables directly. It is intended for users linking portable players, laptops or Apple equipment that use the smaller optical format to home-audio gear with standard SPDIF sockets.

Verify your ports use optical signalling not

Confirm the 3.5 mm jack on your source or destination device is labelled optical or SPDIF, because a regular analogue headphone socket will not carry a light signal. Also check that the host equipment provides a female Toslink receptacle, as this adapter plugs into that larger socket.

Short rigid body keeps the connection close

The black adapter measures under one inch long with a male Toslink plug on one side and a female 3.5 mm optical socket on the other. Its compact length reduces leverage on the host port, while the male-to-female gender lets you insert a standard mini-optical cable without adding extra cable bulk behind the equipment.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to use it?

The box contains the 3.5 mm to Toslink adapter only. You will need a separate optical cable and a device with a standard Toslink port to complete the connection.

There is only one version listed; how do I know this is the right one for my equipment?

This single model converts a full-size Toslink socket to a 3.5 mm optical jack. Choose it if your source or amplifier has a standard Toslink port and you need to plug in a 3.5 mm optical cable.

What does the 3.5 mm optical connection actually do once I plug it into my laptop or mini-disc player?

It carries a digital SPDIF signal over fibre, not an analogue audio signal, so the connected device must support 3.5 mm optical output or input for the link to work.
