Description

The 6002 Red Opto Star is a digital optical fibre link cable from Oehlbach, designed to carry the digital audio signal between two devices fitted with Toslink outputs or inputs. It can be used, for example, to connect a player, games console or television to an amplifier, soundbar or DAC with an optical input.

The source datasheet highlights high light efficiency and a low refraction rate. In practical terms, these characteristics promote more stable optical transmission of the signal along the cable, with the light carrying the digital information travelling with fewer internal losses.

The cable comes with a Toslink to Toslink optical adapter with a 3.5 mm female jack. This accessory allows the cable to be connected to a device fitted with an optical output in mini-jack format, as found on some laptops or compact players, without needing a different cable.

This type of link is suited to any home cinema or hi-fi system seeking to connect a source digitally to a playback device, particularly when one of the units only offers a reduced 3.5 mm optical output. The supplied adapter extends compatibility without requiring any additional accessory.

What to check before buying used

Check the condition of the Toslink connectors at both ends: a dulled, dirty or slightly chipped fibre at the edges significantly degrades light transmission, or can even cut the signal entirely. Also check the sheath along its full length, as a sharp bend or overly tight twist can fracture the internal strands of the cable. Finally, make sure the supplied 3.5 mm mini-jack adapter is included with this unit and that its female socket is neither oxidised nor loose.
