Instead of fiddling with a separate adapter, the H-FLEX handles it in one continuous cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the H-FLEX Toslink\/Mini-Toslink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause an extra adapter at the connection is always a potential loose contact. A cable with the right connector at each end is simply more mechanically robust – and looks tidier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fully terminated fibre-optic cable with a full-size Toslink connector on one end and a Mini-Toslink connector (3.5 mm jack form) on the other, including the galvanic isolation that every optical connection provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the H-FLEX Toslink\/Mini-Toslink suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants to connect a device with a standard Toslink socket to a device with a Mini-Toslink socket – classically a laptop, portable DAC or older compact system to an amplifier or TV. Plain talk: if both devices have the same socket type, you don't need this cable – then the pure Toslink or pure Mini-Toslink version from the same series is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unassuming but very practical cable for a socket mix that comes up constantly in practice. At HD Zürisee, we quickly check with you which socket sits on which device before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: optical digital cable (Toslink), galvanically isolated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector side A: Toslink (full size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector side B: Mini-Toslink (3.5 mm jack form)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Cobra (braided sleeve) or Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: 1 cable, terminated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I recognise a Mini-Toslink socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt looks like a normal 3.5 mm jack socket, but hides the optical technology inside. It's often found on laptops, portable DACs and compact streaming devices instead of the large square Toslink socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need this cable or is an adapter enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA continuous cable is mechanically more stable than a cable plus an adapter at the connection. For occasional use, an adapter is enough; for a fixed installation, we recommend the continuous cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich length and colour should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasure the actual distance between the devices and choose the next-longer standard length. Cobra fits the braided design of the other ViaBlue cables, Black is more discreet behind the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I lose quality through the Mini-Toslink side?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the optical transmission itself stays the same – only the connector type differs. As with any Toslink connection: don't choose too tight a bend radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the ViaBlue H-FLEX at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we help you find the right connector type on the right device before you order – especially with Mini-Toslink, that's not always immediately clear.
