Audio Cable TOSLINK ShiverPeaks BS69014-5.0 5m Black

The ShiverPeaks BS69014-5.0 5m Black audio cable combines a TOSLINK optical connector and a 3.5 mm male connector to transmit digital audio between compatible devices. Designed for reliable signal transfer over a 5-metre length, this cable features gold-plated contacts for improved contact quality and corrosion resistance. The black jacket and slim profile suit home audio systems, TVs, soundbars and portable players where a TOSLINK-to-3.5 mm connection is required.

Advantages

This audio cable provides a stable optical-to-analogue interface with low signal loss across its 5 m length. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and help protect against oxidation, supporting consistent connectivity over time. The cable’s design balances flexibility and durability for straightforward routing behind furniture or in AV racks, while the neutral black finish integrates into most audio setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting TVs and soundbars with optical output to devices with 3.5 mm input
• Linking digital audio sources to external DACs or amplifiers that accept a 3.5 mm optical-style input
• Home theatre systems and multimedia setups requiring a 5 m reach
• Portable audio players and laptops with compatible optical/3.5 mm ports

How to use

Identify the optical (TOSLINK) output on your source device and the corresponding 3.5 mm input on your target device. Align the TOSLINK connector with the optical port and insert gently until it seats; avoid forcing the connector to prevent damage to the optical tip. Insert the 3.5 mm male connector into the device input until it clicks or seats firmly. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and protect it from crushing or heavy foot traffic. When disconnecting, pull from the connector body rather than the cable jacket.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from strong light sources and avoid exposing the optical connector tip to dust or debris. If you experience dropouts, check connections and ensure ports are clean; replace the cable if the optical tip shows visible damage. Store the cable coiled loosely to prevent kinks and preserve signal quality.
