Description
10-Piece AV Installer Pack
Extend a digital optical audio connection with this 10-pack of TOSLINK female-to-female extension couplers.
Each compact adapter joins two standard male TOSLINK cables, providing a simple pass-through connection for televisions, soundbars, AV receivers, game consoles, media players and other equipment with optical S/PDIF audio connections.
Extend Two TOSLINK Optical Audio Cables
The O-2670 optical coupler provides a female TOSLINK connection on both ends. Insert one male optical cable into each side to create a longer cable run without replacing the existing cables.
The adapter is a passive optical pass-through device. It joins two compatible cables but does not convert the optical audio signal into analogue audio, HDMI, coaxial digital audio or another connection format.
The 10-piece package is convenient for AV installers, service technicians, home theatre projects, equipment rooms and replacement inventory.

Important Connection Information
This is an extension coupler: It connects two male TOSLINK optical cables together.
It is not a splitter: The adapter does not send one optical source to two audio devices.
It is not a converter: It does not convert optical audio to RCA, 3.5 mm analogue audio, HDMI or digital coaxial audio.
Audio format compatibility: Supported formats depend on the connected source device, receiving equipment and their audio settings.
Digital Optical Audio Pass-Through
TOSLINK carries an S/PDIF digital audio signal using optical light rather than an electrical analogue signal. This makes it useful for connecting compatible audio equipment where electrical interference may be a concern.
The coupler maintains the optical connection between the two cables. Actual performance depends on the condition, quality and combined length of the cables, as well as the optical output strength of the connected source.
Recommended Applications
TV and soundbar installations: Extend an existing optical cable when the soundbar or audio system is located farther from the television.
Home theatre systems: Join two cables between a television, projector area, AV receiver or equipment cabinet.
Equipment relocation: Reuse existing optical cables when audio equipment is moved within a room or rack.
AV service inventory: Keep replacement couplers available for service calls, system upgrades and installation corrections.
Commercial AV projects: Suitable for offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, hospitality spaces and other compatible digital-audio systems.
Simple Installation
- Turn down or mute the connected audio equipment.
- Remove the protective caps from both TOSLINK cable ends, when present.
- Align the keyed TOSLINK connector with one side of the coupler.
- Insert the first cable firmly without forcing or twisting the connector.
- Connect the second optical cable to the opposite side.
- Select the optical or digital-audio setting on the connected equipment.
Cable-care notice: Avoid sharp bends, crushing, pulling or tightly coiling optical cables.
Keep the optical connector tips and coupler openings clean. Dust, damaged cable ends or excessive total cable length may reduce optical signal reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a TOSLINK extension coupler do?
It connects two male TOSLINK digital optical audio cables to create a longer cable connection.
How many couplers are included?
One package contains 10 female-to-female TOSLINK couplers.
Does order quantity 1 mean one adapter?
No. Order quantity 1 means one complete package containing 10 adapters.
Does the coupler convert optical audio to RCA?
No. It only joins two compatible TOSLINK optical cables. A separate digital-to- analogue converter is required to connect optical audio to analogue RCA equipment.
Can it connect one source to two sound systems?
No. This is a one-to-one extension coupler, not an optical splitter.
Does the adapter require power?
No. It is a passive optical coupler and does not require a power supply.
Why am I not getting sound after connecting it?
Confirm that both cables are fully inserted, the protective caps have been removed, the source is set to optical audio output and the receiving device is set to the correct input. Also confirm that the selected audio format is supported by the connected equipment.
