 FAQs for Product: TOSLINK Splitter (Digital Optical Splitter)

1. Although this product is designed to split one signal to two different devices, can it be used to allow two different inputs to share the one input on my amp providing I only use one input at a time? (Posted: 21st July, 2008)
2. Hi, I also had the same idea for this piece of equipment. If I connected two PCs to the one amp, would I be able to use them together or will it have awful interference? (Posted: 22nd May, 2009)
3. How many times could I potentially split the optical signal before it wouldn't work anymore?
I'd like to split a toslink output from a bluray player to at least four or five amps..?

4. Hi, can the Toslink splitter split an optical signal from the source ie CD or DVD TV etc to two seperate amps - could both amps be used at the same time or just one amp playing the split signal from the same source? (Posted: 1st Oct, 2009)

A. Once is the most you should split an optical signal using a passive splitter such as this and this can vary depending on the length of you cabling as well.

A. Hi, due to the nature of digital signals you can only run one amp at a time. Simple digital signals such as TOSLINK require a "handshake" between the two devices to agree with each other and if there is more than two devices shaking hands can get rather difficult.
