Cables Direct 4OPT-101H audio cable 1.5 m TOSLINK Black

This specific model connects devices with a digital optical socket. It carries a digital audio stream from sources like Blu-Ray players. The cable connects to an AV receiver for surround sound decoding. Because it uses fibre, it avoids magnetic interference. Also, the gold-plated connectors resist corrosion.

Pure Digital Audio Transmission

TOSLINK uses a fibre-optic core to carry light signals. This method prevents electrical interference entirely. So, the audio signal remains pure and true to the source. In practice, this is vital in homes with many electronics. It removes hum or buzz that copper cables can pick up.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Longevity

The connectors feature gold plating for anti-corrosive properties. This ensures a stable connection over time. Also, it helps maintain signal integrity at the contact points. You should verify the optical ports on your devices are clean. Dust can block the light signal and degrade performance.

Ideal for UK Home Cinema Setups

This cable fits standard digital optical sockets on UK hardware. It connects CD players, games consoles, and Blu-Ray players. The 1.5 m length suits most rack or shelf configurations. However, always check your device’s output type before purchase. Some soundbars use a mini-TOSLINK port, which may need an adapter.

Durable and Flexible Construction

The black outer jacket is designed for everyday use. Fibre optics are inherently thin and flexible. This makes routing behind furniture or media units easier. The 1.5 m length avoids excessive cable slack. Note that the input does not specify a maximum data rate. Confirm your devices support the required audio format.
