TOSLINK to Mini-TOSLINK optical cable example

The StarTech.com THINTOSMIN6 is an exact optical S/PDIF cable example with full-size TOSLINK and Mini-TOSLINK male ends.

Also called TOSLINK Mini-TOSLINK cable optical mini TOSLINK cable THINTOSMIN6

Optical connector form and exact cable identity do not establish support for every digital-audio format or device mode.

The useful distinction

Confirm full-size versus mini optical jacks at the two devices, then verify that both devices use compatible optical S/PDIF modes.
