Optical Toslink cable ShiverPeaks SHVP 69006-1.0 — 1 m digital audio

Optical Toslink cable ShiverPeaks SHVP 69006-1.0 — 1 m digital audio is a 1‑metre fiber optic lead designed for digital audio transmission between source devices and receivers. The cable carries multichannel PCM and compressed surround formats using light-based signal transfer, making it suitable for connecting CD players, televisions, soundbars, AV receivers and game consoles in home theatre and multimedia setups. Its optical construction reduces susceptibility to electrical interference and ground-loop noise compared with copper interconnects, ensuring a stable digital audio link for stereo and surround systems.

Advantages

The ShiverPeaks Toslink cable offers galvanic isolation because it transmits audio via optical fiber rather than electrical conductors, helping to minimize hum and interference. Its standardized Toslink connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of consumer audio equipment. The 1‑metre length is convenient for typical AV cabinet or shelf-to-device arrangements and simplifies routing behind entertainment centres without excess slack. The cable supports uncompressed PCM and common compressed surround formats used in consumer AV systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver for digital audio output
• Linking CD/DVD/Blu-ray players to home theatre receivers
• Connecting game consoles to external audio systems via optical out
• Replacing an existing Toslink lead in a living room or media cabinet

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 metre
• Connector type: Toslink optical connectors on both ends
• Signal type: Digital optical — supports multichannel PCM and compressed surround audio
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber (light-based signal)
• Typical use: Home theatre and multimedia digital audio connections

How to use

Insert the Toslink connector firmly into the optical output of the source device and into the optical input of the target device until it clicks or seats securely. Ensure both devices are switched off or set to standby when connecting to avoid accidental damage to connector tips. After connection, select the optical digital input on the receiver or soundbar and configure the source device’s audio output settings to use the external optical output if necessary. Keep the cable free from tight bends or kinks to preserve fiber integrity.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable with gentle curves and avoid sharp bends; maintain a small bend radius and protect the connectors from dust when not in use. For best results, verify the audio output format on the source device and the input capabilities of the receiving device to ensure compatibility with uncompressed PCM or compressed surround formats.
