BlueRigger 1x2 Toslink Digital Fiber Optic Audio Splitter 1 Male Input 2 Female Output - With 24K Gold Plated Connectors (For Home Theatre, Xbox, etc.). This Toslink splitter allows you to split sound from an optical audio source input, such as a TV, into two receiving output devices, like an A/V receiver and a soundbar. Please ensure the connected devices have a Toslink port. The output fiber optic Toslink cable length should be less than 10 ft for optimal performance. It features a plug-and-play design: connect one male input to two female outputs. Both outputs can operate simultaneously. This is a passive splitter, meaning the signal strength is divided between the two outputs, resulting in a weaker signal. If you experience sound only on one side or no sound on the other, please check for loose connections or contact us. The splitter is compatible with various audio devices including Soundbars, CD/DVD players, home theatre systems, recorders, or receivers, and is perfect for uncompressed PCM audio and compressed 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound systems like Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, ADAT's, and LPCM. It is well-built with a durable PVC outer layer and a low-jitter optical fiber for higher fidelity sound. The precision-polished 24K Gold Plated Connector ensures optimal signal transfer accuracy. The splitter provides a firm connection for Toslink cables by clicking them securely into place. Ensure the cable is fully inserted and clicks securely. BlueRigger offers a lifetime warranty and US-based customer support.
