Audio Cable TOSLINK ShiverPeaks BS69012-1.5 1.5m Black

The ShiverPeaks BS69012-1.5 is a 1.5 meter audio cable combining a TOSLINK (optical) male connector with a 3.5 mm male connector in a slim black design. It transfers digital audio via an optical link on the TOSLINK end while providing a compact 3.5 mm plug for devices with compatible optical-to-3.5 mm inputs or adapters. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance at the electrical connector points, supporting consistent signal transfer and long-term use.

Advantages

This cable provides a direct optical-to-mini-jack connection in a single 1.5 m lead, reducing the need for additional adapters or longer cable runs. The gold-plated contacts at the connector points help maintain low-resistance connections and resist oxidation, which contributes to stable audio transmission and extended connector life. Its black finish and compact form factor make it unobtrusive in home and professional setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices with TOSLINK optical outputs to equipment accepting a 3.5 mm optical/combined input via compatible adapters
• Home audio systems, soundbars, and portable DACs that support optical audio interfaces
• Temporary or fixed installations where a 1.5 m cable length is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connector types: TOSLINK (optical) male to 3.5 mm male
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts on the electrical connector
• Color: black
• Signal type: digital optical audio on the TOSLINK side, compatible with 3.5 mm optical adapters where applicable

How to use

Connect the TOSLINK end to the optical output on the source device and insert the 3.5 mm end into the compatible input or adapter on the receiving device. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated to avoid signal interruptions. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid pinching it in doors or panels. If an adapter is required to convert the 3.5 mm plug to a specific jack type, use a high-quality adapter to preserve signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the optical connector caps on when the cable is not in use, avoid exposing the optical end to direct strong light sources, and maintain gentle curves rather than tight bends. Verify device compatibility with a TOSLINK-to-3.5 mm connection before use; some devices require a dedicated optical adapter or specific input type to accept the 3.5 mm plug.
