Optical audio cable Kruger & Matz Toslink — 5 m, black

Optical audio cable Kruger & Matz Toslink — 5 m, black is a 5-metre Toslink (optical S/PDIF) cable intended for digital audio connections between devices that feature optical audio ports. The cable transmits digital audio signals using light, ensuring lossless transfer of stereo or multichannel audio to compatible equipment such as TVs, soundbars, AV receivers, CD/DVD/Blu-ray players and game consoles. Its black jacket and standard Toslink connectors provide a discreet, plug-and-play solution for home audio and multimedia setups.

Advantages

This optical audio cable delivers immune-to-interference signal transmission because it uses fiber-optic technology rather than electrical conductors, which reduces the risk of hums and electromagnetic noise. The 5 m length provides flexibility in positioning components without introducing electrical grounding loops. Standard Toslink connectors ensure wide device compatibility and a simple, tool-free connection process. The cable’s outer sheath offers basic mechanical protection and a visually unobtrusive appearance suitable for living rooms and home theaters.

Suitable for

• Connecting TVs to soundbars or AV receivers for digital audio output
• Linking CD, DVD or Blu-ray players to home audio systems
• Connecting gaming consoles to external audio devices
• Audio routing in home theater and multimedia workstation setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: Toslink (optical S/PDIF) on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Color: black
• Signal type: digital optical audio (lossless transmission of PCM and compatible formats)
• Sheath: protective outer jacket for basic abrasion resistance

How to use

To install, align each Toslink connector with the optical port on the source and target devices and gently insert until a light click or snug fit is achieved; avoid forcing the connector. Power off devices if recommended by the equipment manufacturer before connecting. After both ends are connected, select the optical audio output on the source device and the corresponding input on the receiver or soundbar. No special drivers or configuration are typically required for standard stereo or multichannel passthrough; consult device manuals for format-specific settings such as bitstream, PCM or surround passthrough.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable and keep the optical ports free of dust; if necessary, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the connector ends before connecting. Use the 5 m length to position audio components with adequate airflow and access while keeping cable runs tidy and protected from foot traffic or pinching.
