UGREEN 70890 Toslink Optical Audio Cable 1 m, Male to Male, Gold Plated

Overview

A TV, games console or disc player can send digital sound to a soundbar, AV receiver or DAC over an optical cable, with no electrical interference or ground hum because the signal travels as light. The UGREEN 70890 is a 1 m Toslink optical audio cable with metal-cased, 24K gold-plated plugs at both ends. It supports S/PDIF, ADAT, Dolby Digital and DTS.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a TV, PS5, Xbox, Blu-ray or CD player or set-top box with an optical output feeding a soundbar, AV receiver, home theatre system or DAC with an optical input.
• 1 m suits equipment on the same TV unit or rack shelf.
• Devices with a 3.5 mm mini optical socket need a different cable or an adapter.
• Check which formats your soundbar or receiver accepts on its optical input, for example Dolby Digital or DTS.

Key features

• Full-size Toslink male plug at both ends, 1 m long.
• Fibre optic transmission, so it is immune to electromagnetic noise and ground hum.
• Supports S/PDIF, ADAT, Dolby Digital and DTS.
• 24K gold-plated connectors in metal casings for scratch resistance and durability.

What else you need

A device with an optical (Toslink) audio output and one with an optical input. Nothing else is needed.

Installation

Remove any protective caps from the plugs, push each plug in until it seats, and set the source to output audio over optical in its sound settings. Do not bend the cable sharply.

Before you buy

• Remove the protective caps before use; a capped plug gives no sound.
• Avoid sharp bends, which can damage the fibre core.
• Not for 3.5 mm mini optical sockets without an adapter.
