BlueRigger Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x5

Use a single optical audio output from a TV, game console, Blu-ray player or CD player to feed five separate devices without signal degradation. This active fiber-optic splitter is designed to preserve digital audio quality across multiple receiving units while offering rugged construction and wide format support. It’s a practical solution when you need to share one optical feed with an AVR, soundbar, Bluetooth transmitter, and more at the same time.

How does this splitter maintain audio quality across five outputs?

The BlueRigger active design amplifies and conditions the optical signal before distributing it to five outputs, reducing attenuation and interference typical of passive splitters. It uses a low-loss fiber core and precision optical connectors inside a durable aluminum housing to keep jitter and signal loss minimal.

• Active electronics boost and equalize the Toslink signal for stable distribution.
• High-quality fiber optic core reduces attenuation across all five outputs.
• Aluminum alloy shell shields against electromagnetic interference.
• Includes a power cable (AC adapter sold separately) to power the active circuitry.

Which digital audio formats and sample rates are supported?

This splitter supports most common stereo and multichannel formats used in consumer equipment, including 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS, PCM and LPCM 2.0, ADAT, and sample rates up to 96 kHz. It does not transmit 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD because those formats exceed standard Toslink bandwidth.

• Compatible: Dolby-AC3 (5.1), DTS, PCM, LPCM2.0, ADAT.
• Sample rates: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz.
• Not supported: 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD over Toslink.
• Best for setups that use standard SPDIF optical connections.

Which devices can I connect to the 1x5 Toslink splitter?

The BlueRigger TS501 is built to interface with a wide range of consumer electronics that provide a Toslink optical output. It’s useful when you want the same audio feed routed to different zones or to both legacy and modern audio gear simultaneously.

• Sources: HDTVs, TV boxes, cable/satellite boxes, Xbox, PS4/PS3, DVD/Blu-ray players.
• Receivers: AV receivers, soundbars, Bluetooth transmitters, DACs, amplifiers, headphones.
• Works with home theater and gaming setups that need a single shared audio feed.
• Plug-and-play optical connections; power cable included for active operation.

What are the build, installation, and warranty details?

The unit has a robust aluminum alloy enclosure and precision optical connectors to ensure long-term reliability. Installation is straightforward: connect the source to the input Toslink port, run optical cables from each output to your devices, and attach the included power cable; an AC adapter is not bundled and must be sourced separately.

• Durable aluminum housing resists wear and reduces interference.
• Low-loss fiber components and secure optical heads for stable connections.
• Power cable included; AC adapter not included — check local voltage and plug type.
• Covered by BlueRigger Lifetime Warranty and US-based customer support.

Who this is for: The BlueRigger 1x5 Active Toslink Optical Audio Splitter is ideal for home theater enthusiasts, gamers, installers, and anyone who needs to share one optical audio source with multiple devices simultaneously. Choose this unit if you want a durable, actively powered splitter that supports standard 5.1 digital formats and delivers consistent optical audio to several receivers or accessories at once.
