A fiber optic cable standard.
A fiber optic cable which transfers digital data between components using light pulses. Typically used to connect the audio out of a digital component such as a DVD player to a receiver.
The true name for digital optical connections. DVD players, amplifiers and Minidisc recorders feature Toslink inputs and outputs. Some hi-fi components feature the smaller Mini-Toslink connection.
optical digital audio output: a fiber optic digital audio connection used to connect a digital source component (e.g., DVD player, CD player, etc.) to a receiver or pre-amplifier. The data passed is the "raw" digital audio signal using laser (light) pulses. This means of interconnect minimizes the interference and degradation. Also see coaxial digital audio output. back to the previous page
A fibre optic digital audio connection used to connect a digital source component (e.g., DVD player, CD player, etc.) to a receiver or pre-amplifier. By passing the "raw" digital audio signal using laser (light) pulses, interference and degradation are minimised. The means of interconnect used for connecting MiniDisc players to stereos and certain sound cards.
Toslink is a type of digital audio connection developed by Toshiba Corporation. ...
An optical cable standard for transmitting digital data; commonly used to transmit raw digital audio data from from playback devices to decoders.
TOShiba link Consumer equipment fibre optic interface using square plastic connectors based upon the S/PDIF protocol, first developed by Toshiba
In home audio, it refers to another term for "optical audio cable. Originally implemented and developed by Toshiba.
Official name of digital optical cable with plastic vs. glass filament.
A type of connector used for optical digital connections. Kind of squarish, with a bit of a tube in the middle for the light to go through. TOSlink connections use fiber-optics and a rapidly pulsing light to transmit digital data.
A type of digital connection that uses optical signals to send a signal flawlessly, without losing any information. It's used for connecting MiniDisc players to stereos and certain sound cards.
A type of fiber-optic cable connection that uses beams of light to transfer information through a clear plastic cable.
A type of optical cable used to connect A/V components, distinguished by its plug shape.
Toshiba's proprietary optical fibre signal transmission system.
TOSLINK is a standardized optical fiber connection system. Its most common use is in consumer audio equipment (via a "digital optical" socket), where it carries a digital audio stream between components such as Mini Disc and CD players and DAT recorders. TOSLINK may use inexpensive 1 mm plastic optical fiber or it can use higher quality multi-strand plastic optical fibers or even quartz glass optical fibers depending on the desired bandwidth and application.
