Monoprice S/PDIF Digital Optical Audio Cable, Toslink to Mini Toslink, 6ft

Description

Experience crystal-clear audio performance with this S/PDIF (Toslink) Digital Optical Audio Cable from Monoprice™, designed to deliver superb sonic clarity and accurate musical reproduction. Utilizing the Sony®/Philips® Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF), this cable carries digital optical audio signals often referred to as Toslink® which support uncompressed 2-channel PCM audio as well as compressed multichannel formats like Dolby® 5.1/7.1 and DTS®.

Because it uses optical transmission, the signal is immune to common sources of interference such as crosstalk, magnetic fields, or radio frequency noise, ensuring clean, distortion-free audio. It’s ideal for connecting devices like the Apple MacBook®, Mac® mini, or any laptop or portable device featuring a combined 3.5mm TRS and Mini Toslink output. One end of the cable features a 3.5mm Mini Toslink connector, while the other end houses a standard full-size Toslink connector, making it perfect for compact audio systems and digital sound setups.

Features

This digital optical audio cable is thoughtfully engineered with high-performance features to ensure reliable and high-quality signal transmission. On one end, it includes a full-sized male Toslink® connector, while the other end features a 3.5mm Mini Toslink connector, making it ideal for devices with compact digital audio ports, such as laptops and Mac® computers.

With a 5.0mm outer diameter, the cable offers a solid balance between flexibility and durability. The molded strain relief boots at each connector help minimize stress and prevent damage at the cable junctions, enhancing long-term reliability. Additionally, the gold-plated ferrule resists corrosion and provides excellent protection for the connector tips, while ensuring consistent performance over time.

For maximum signal integrity, the cable uses precision-polished fiber tips, which improve light transmission and reduce signal loss. To keep the cable ends safe when not in use, each connector includes plastic tip protectors, preserving the quality and longevity of the optical components.
