Toslink Fiber Optic Cable

Toslink was originally designed by Toshiba in 1983 to connect their CD players to receivers. This hot pluggable connector delivers a digital audio bit stream of uncompressed two channel PCM audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound but does not have the bandwidth to carry the lossless versions of Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD audio. Fiber optic cables can temporarily stop working or become damaged if bent tightly. Toslink Fiber is chosen over digital coax because it is immune to ground loops and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Tributaries Series 4 Fiber Optic cables are sold in each.
