Description
10-Piece AV Installer Pack
Connect a TOSLINK optical audio cable in a confined space with this 10-pack of male-to-female TOSLINK right-angle adapters.
Each compact adapter redirects a standard optical audio connection by 90 degrees, making it useful behind wall-mounted televisions, soundbars, AV receivers and other equipment with limited rear clearance.
Redirect a TOSLINK Cable in Tight Spaces
The O-2690 adapter has a male TOSLINK connector on one end and a female TOSLINK socket on the other. The male end connects to a compatible optical audio port, while the existing male TOSLINK cable connects to the female end.
Its right-angle design changes the direction of the cable near the equipment, helping reduce the amount of straight clearance required behind the device. This can provide a cleaner cable route and help avoid forcing an optical cable into a tight bend.
The adapter is a passive optical pass-through accessory. It changes the cable direction but does not convert the digital optical signal into another audio connection format.
10-Piece Pack for AV Installation and Service
One package contains 10 right-angle TOSLINK adapters. The bulk format is suitable for AV installers, television mounting projects, equipment upgrades, service calls and replacement inventory.
- 10 optical right-angle adapters per package
- Useful for multiple television and AV installations
- Compact size for installation toolkits
- Suitable for home and commercial AV equipment
- Convenient replacement stock for service technicians
Key Features
- Redirects a TOSLINK optical connection by 90 degrees
- TOSLINK male connector to TOSLINK female socket
- Designed for rear-facing optical audio ports
- Useful where equipment-to-wall clearance is limited
- Helps avoid excessively sharp optical cable bends
- Passive optical signal pass-through
- No external power supply or software required

Ideal for Wall-Mounted TVs and Shallow Cabinets
A straight TOSLINK connector and cable require space behind the equipment. This can be a problem when a television is installed close to the wall or when an AV component is placed inside a shallow cabinet.
The right-angle adapter redirects the connected cable along the rear or side of the equipment, depending on the orientation of the optical port. This can simplify cable routing and reduce pressure on the cable near the connector.
Compatible Optical Audio Equipment
Use the adapter with compatible equipment that has a standard TOSLINK optical audio input or output, including:
- Televisions and smart TVs
- Soundbars and powered audio systems
- Home theatre and AV receivers
- Digital-to-analogue audio converters
- CD, DVD and Blu-ray players
- Media players and streaming devices
- Game consoles with standard optical audio ports
- Commercial audio equipment with TOSLINK connections
Important Connection Information
This is a right-angle adapter: It redirects a standard TOSLINK connection by 90 degrees.
It is not an extension coupler: It does not join two male TOSLINK cables end to end.
It is not a splitter: It does not distribute one optical source to two audio devices.
It is not an audio converter: It does not convert TOSLINK to RCA, 3.5 mm audio, HDMI or digital coaxial audio.
Supported audio formats depend on the source, receiving equipment and their selected digital-audio settings.
Recommended Applications
Wall-mounted televisions: Redirect the optical cable when there is limited clearance between the TV and wall.
Soundbar installations: Route the cable more neatly when the optical socket faces a wall, mounting bracket or cabinet panel.
AV receiver cabinets: Reduce the straight space required behind a receiver or audio processor.
Equipment racks: Redirect an optical connection when nearby components or rack panels limit access.
Service and replacement inventory: Keep additional adapters available for installation corrections, upgrades and equipment changes.
Simple Installation
- Turn down or mute the connected audio equipment.
- Identify the TOSLINK optical input or output on the equipment.
- Align the keyed male connector with the optical port.
- Insert the adapter carefully without twisting or forcing the connector.
- Remove the protective cap from the optical cable, when present.
- Connect the male TOSLINK cable to the adapter’s female socket.
- Select the appropriate optical input or output setting on the equipment.
Check the port direction: TOSLINK connectors are keyed and fit only in the correct orientation. Do not force the connector.
Confirm that the 90-degree outlet points in a suitable direction for the equipment and installation before pressing the device close to a wall or cabinet panel.
Optical Cable Care
Optical cables transmit audio using light through an internal optical fibre. Avoid crushing, pulling, twisting or bending the cable sharply near either connector.
Keep the adapter openings and cable tips clean. Dust, damaged connector ends or an excessive combined optical path may affect connection reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a TOSLINK right-angle adapter do?
It redirects a standard TOSLINK optical audio connection by 90 degrees, reducing the straight clearance required behind the connected equipment.
How many adapters are included?
One package contains 10 male-to-female right-angle TOSLINK adapters.
Does order quantity 1 mean one adapter?
No. Order quantity 1 means one complete package containing 10 adapters.
Is this suitable for a wall-mounted television?
Yes. It is particularly useful when the television’s optical port faces the wall and there is insufficient space for a straight cable connection.
Does the adapter extend the cable length?
No. It redirects the existing cable connection. Use a female-to-female TOSLINK extension coupler when two male optical cables need to be joined.
Does it convert optical audio to RCA or HDMI?
No. It passes a compatible TOSLINK optical signal through at a right angle and does not change the signal format.
Does the adapter require power?
No. It is a passive optical adapter and does not require an external power supply.
Why does the connector not fit?
Confirm that any protective cap has been removed and align the keyed TOSLINK connector correctly. Do not force or twist the connector into the port.
Simplify Optical Audio Connections in Tight Spaces
Use the O-2690 TOSLINK right-angle adapter behind wall-mounted TVs, soundbars, receivers and AV equipment where a straight optical connection requires too much space. Available as a convenient 10-piece package from AVTECK in Barrie, Ontario.
