Optical (Toslink) Audio Cable ICIDU Brackton 3.0 m

The ICIDU Brackton 3.0 m optical (Toslink) audio cable is a digital audio connection solution for devices equipped with Toslink ports. The cable transmits optical (light-based) digital signals to deliver stereo or multichannel audio between sources such as TVs, soundbars, AV receivers and other compatible equipment. With a 3.0 metre length it offers flexibility for typical home theatre and hi‑fi installations while avoiding electromagnetic interference common to copper cabling.

Advantages

This optical audio cable provides galvanic isolation between connected devices by using light to carry the signal, which prevents ground loops and reduces susceptibility to electrical noise. The 3.0 m length allows installation across medium distances in living rooms and entertainment setups. The Toslink connectors ensure a standardised plug-and-play interface with a wide range of consumer audio and AV equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting TV to soundbar for clear stereo or multichannel sound
• Linking Blu-ray players, game consoles or media players to AV receivers
• Home theatre and hi‑fi system wiring where electromagnetic isolation is required
• Temporary or permanent installations where a 3.0 m optical cable length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: Toslink optical plugs (standard square optical connector)
• Length: 3.0 metres
• Signal type: Digital optical (light) audio transmission
• Supported audio: Stereo and multichannel digital audio formats (device-dependent)
• Immunity: Not affected by electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect one Toslink plug into the optical output of the source device (for example a TV or Blu-ray player) and insert the other plug into the optical input of the destination device (soundbar, AV receiver or speaker). Ensure both connectors are aligned with the optical port opening and push gently until seated. If devices have protective caps on the ports or cable ends, remove them before connection. After physical connection, select the appropriate digital audio output/input setting in device menus if required.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; keep the cable away from heavy electrical equipment to maintain optical path integrity. For best results, verify device audio settings to match the output format supported by your audio system.
