Toslink to 3.5mm Audio Cable ShiverPeaks 1.0m

The ShiverPeaks Toslink to 3.5mm Audio Cable 1.0m is a single-meter interconnect designed to link devices with an optical (Toslink) output to equipment with a 3.5mm analog input. The cable combines an optical Toslink male connector with a male 3.5mm plug and is finished in black. Gold-plated contacts on the 3.5mm plug enhance contact reliability and resist corrosion, while the optical line preserves digital audio integrity until conversion at the receiving device.

Advantages

This 1.0m cable delivers a compact and straightforward solution for connecting optical audio sources to 3.5mm inputs without additional adapters. The use of an optical Toslink connector minimizes electromagnetic interference during signal transfer. Gold-plated contacts on the 3.5mm connector promote consistent physical contact and reduce the risk of signal loss due to oxidation or wear. The cable’s length and construction suit short to medium routing distances and everyday use in home audio setups.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting TVs or set-top boxes with Toslink outputs to audio devices with a 3.5mm input
• Linking optical audio sources to external speakers, headphone amplifiers, or soundbars equipped with 3.5mm inputs
• Temporary or permanent setups in living rooms, bedrooms, or desktop audio systems
• Use where compact cable length and simple installation are required

Key specifications

• Connector types: Toslink (male optical) to 3.5mm (male analog)
• Cable length: 1.0 meter
• Contact plating: gold-plated 3.5mm contacts
• Color: black
• Signal type: optical digital to analog interface (requires compatible converter or device with built-in conversion)

How to use

Insert the Toslink end into the optical output of the source device, ensuring the connector is aligned with the optical socket to avoid damaging the ferrule. Plug the gold-plated 3.5mm connector into the analog input of the receiving device. If the receiving device does not perform digital-to-analog conversion internally, use an external DAC or converter between the Toslink output and the 3.5mm input to obtain audible analog output. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep the optical line free from debris that may obstruct the light path.

Usage recommendations

For reliable audio performance, keep the cable within its 1.0m length for best signal integrity, avoid tight kinks, and store with gentle loops. If you encounter no audio after connection, verify that the source’s optical output is enabled and, if necessary, add a compatible DAC to convert the optical signal to analog before the 3.5mm input.
