Toslink optical audio cable 3 m, 6 mm diameter, both sides plug (EB168872109#)

Toslink optical audio cable 3 m, 6 mm diameter, both sides plug provides a simple and reliable optical link between devices with S/PDIF optical ports. The 3-metre length offers flexibility for home theatre and AV setups while the 6 mm outer diameter balances durability with bendability. Both ends feature standard Toslink plugs for straightforward plug-and-play connection and stable digital audio transmission without electrical interference.

Advantages

The cable delivers lossless digital audio transmission over an optical fiber, eliminating ground loop hum and electromagnetic interference common to copper cables. Its 6 mm diameter jacket protects the fiber while remaining flexible enough for neat cable routing behind entertainment units. Standard Toslink plugs on both ends ensure wide compatibility and easy connection to TVs, soundbars, AV receivers and other optical-capable devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting TV to soundbar or home theatre system
• Linking audio receivers and CD/DVD/Blu-ray players
• Digital S/PDIF connections in living rooms and media rooms
• Temporary or semi-permanent AV installations where optical isolation is desired

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Outer diameter: 6 mm
• Connector type: Toslink (optical) on both ends
• Signal type: Digital optical audio (S/PDIF)
• Cable jacket: flexible protective sheath

How to use

Ensure both source and target devices have optical audio (Toslink) ports and that they are powered on. Remove any protective caps from the Toslink plugs, align the plug with the optical port and insert gently until it seats. Select the optical or digital audio output in the source device settings and configure the receiving device to the appropriate input. For best results, avoid sharp bends in the cable and route it away from sources of strong mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, do not bend the cable beyond gentle curves; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with the cable's flexibility. If the connection is intermittent, check that plugs are fully seated and that optical ports are free of dust. Use the 3 m length to keep equipment close together for optimal signal integrity.
