Description
This 1.5m TOSlink lead carries digital audio between your equipment using an optical connection. Fibre optic cable moves the signal as light rather than electricity, which keeps it clear of the electrical interference that can affect standard copper leads. It uses standard TOSlink connectors at both ends, so it works with any device fitted with an optical audio port, sometimes labelled S/PDIF optical.
The lead is built with nickel plated head shells and gold plated tips, a combination chosen for a reliable, corrosion resistant fit in the socket. The cable itself measures 5mm in diameter and uses a flexible PVC jacket, so it routes neatly behind AV units and around tight corners without kinking. It handles multi-channel optical digital audio, making it suitable for both home cinema setups and business installations.
You can use this lead to connect a TV, games console, Blu-ray player, soundbar or amplifier, wherever both ends offer a TOSlink port. The 1.5m length suits shorter runs between stacked or nearby components. It comes supplied in a sealed retail bag, ready to use straight away. If you need to reach further, other lengths in the range cover longer runs across a room.

Frequently Asked
What is a TOSlink connection?
TOSlink is a standard optical audio connector that sends digital sound as light through a fibre optic cable. It is also known as optical S/PDIF and is found on many TVs, soundbars and amplifiers.
Will this work with my soundbar and TV?
Yes, as long as both your TV and soundbar have an optical audio port. Most modern devices use the same standard TOSlink connector that this lead is fitted with.
How long is this lead?
This version is 1.5m long, suited to shorter runs between nearby or stacked equipment. Longer lengths are available in the same range.
What audio can it carry?
It carries multi-channel optical digital audio, so it supports stereo and surround sound formats sent over an optical connection.
Why choose fibre optic over a standard cable?
Fibre optic sends the signal as light, so it is not affected by electrical interference. This helps keep the digital audio clean over the length of the run.
