Fibre optic audio cable MACLEAN MCTV-452 TOSLINK–TOSLINK 2.5 m Black

MACLEAN MCTV-452 TOSLINK–TOSLINK fibre optic audio cable, 2.5 m in black, is designed for digital audio transmission between devices equipped with optical S/PDIF ports. The cable uses optical fibres and TOSLINK connectors at both ends to carry multichannel and stereo audio signals without electrical contact, providing galvanic isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its 2.5 m length covers typical home installation distances between TVs, soundbars, AV receivers, DACs and other audio components.

Advantages

The optical construction ensures stable digital audio transfer with minimal signal degradation and no ground loops. TOSLINK–TOSLINK connectors provide a straightforward plug-and-play connection that is widely compatible with consumer AV equipment. The cable’s sheath in black offers discreet integration into home entertainment setups while maintaining bend tolerance appropriate for typical routing behind furniture and wall-mounted displays.

Suitable for

• Connecting TVs to soundbars or AV receivers via optical S/PDIF
• Linking external DACs to digital audio sources
• Home theater digital audio links where electrical isolation is required
• Setups that need immunity to electromagnetic interference and radio noise

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic (TOSLINK) audio cable
• Connector type: TOSLINK on both ends
• Length: 2.5 metres
• Color: black
• Audio interfacing: optical S/PDIF digital audio transmission
• Application: stereo and multichannel digital audio signals

How to use

Insert each TOSLINK connector firmly into the optical S/PDIF socket of the source and the receiving device until a gentle click or snug fit is felt. Ensure the connector ends are free of dust or debris before connecting to maintain optimal signal quality. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid kinking; leave sufficient slack at connection points to prevent strain on the connector housings. Select the optical output on the source device and the optical input on the receiver in their audio settings to enable signal transmission.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, keep connector end caps when the cable is not in use, avoid exposure to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight, and periodically inspect the fibre ends for contamination. Use the 2.5 m length for typical living-room layouts; for longer runs, choose a cable with a greater length to avoid tension or inappropriate routing.
