Axis™ TOSLINK® Digital Optical Cable, 6ft in Black

Many of today's A/V equipment have an optical audio output. Known as TOSLINK, it provides an alternative way of running audio into a receiver. It's especially handy if you need to use the HDMI output to a component like a TV and simply want to run audio to the receiver. The 6 ft. Axis TOSLINK Digital Optical Cable is not affected by electrical interference the way wire cables can be. It also won't cause ground loops. TOSLINK keeps the signal in the digital domain for better quality sound. That's because it is fiber-optic and uses laser light to transmit the audio signals.
