It measures 3.0 metres, which gives you room to route the cable behind furniture or across a room without pulling components too close together. The lead uses fibre optic transmission, so it passes multi-channel digital audio as light rather than an electrical signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connectors have nickel plated head shells and gold plated tips, paired with a flexible 5mm diameter PVC cable that bends easily around corners and cabinets. The build suits both home setups and business installations, and works well for linking a TV, games console, Blu-ray player or soundbar to an AV receiver or amplifier. Optical audio is sometimes called an optical digital or S\/PDIF connection, and the socket is often labelled TOSlink or simply OPTICAL on your equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the signal travels through fibre rather than copper, this type of lead is not affected by electrical interference from nearby power cables or mains equipment. That makes it a tidy choice where you have a lot of kit running together. The lead comes in a sealed retail bag, so it arrives clean and ready to plug in. Check that both your source and receiving device have TOSlink optical ports before you buy, as this lead does not convert to HDMI, coaxial or 3.5mm connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.10KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this TOSlink lead?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is 3.0 metres long, which suits most living room and desk setups where components sit a short distance apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is TOSlink used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTOSlink carries digital audio over fibre optic cable between devices such as TVs, soundbars, games consoles and AV receivers.
