Optical TOSLINK cable GOOBAY 1 m, Sharkskin Grey, digital audio connector

GOOBAY TOSLINK optical cable, 1 m in Sharkskin Grey, provides a reliable digital audio connection between devices equipped with TOSLINK optical ports. The cable transmits PCM and multichannel audio signals using light, avoiding electromagnetic interference and ensuring clean signal transfer for home audio systems. Its 1 metre length is suitable for close-proximity connections such as between a TV and a soundbar or an AV receiver and a media player.

Advantages

The cable uses optical transmission to eliminate ground loops and radio-frequency interference common with electrical connections. Its Sharkskin Grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most home theatre setups. The compact TOSLINK connectors provide a secure fit while the fibre core maintains consistent audio quality for stereo and surround formats. The 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter and is convenient for short-distance installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a soundbar or home theatre system
• Linking an AV receiver to a CD or DVD player with optical output
• Feeding digital audio from media streamers or set-top boxes to audio equipment
• Replacing a damaged or lost short optical cable in existing setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: TOSLINK optical connectors (both ends)

How to use

Insert each TOSLINK connector into the corresponding optical output and input ports on your devices until a gentle click or resistance indicates a secure fit. Ensure that protective caps, if present, are removed from the connector ends before insertion. Configure the audio output settings on your source device to use optical/PCM or bitstream as required by your audio system. If no sound is detected, check that connectors are fully seated and that the receiving device is set to the correct input.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it away from heavy foot traffic or pinch points. Use the 1 m length for short, tidy runs; if a longer reach is required, select a longer optical cable to prevent strain. Store with connector caps fitted when not in use to protect the optical ends from dust.
