Key Takeaways
- The optical audio port, also known as TOSLINK, can be useful for connecting older sound systems or linking devices like soundbars to TVs.
- TOSLINK cables use fiber optic technology to transmit digital audio signals, which makes them distinct from other types of audio cables that use electrical signals.
- TOSLINK cables can still be valuable in situations such as connecting older audio gear, isolating audio signals from noise, such as ground loop humming.
