Brand: Cblwhl
Features: splitter [Posted on 2008-02-06]
This is a splitter, which means one source to two outputs
If you want to do the reverse then you need a switch
Amaozn has some toslink switches listed. Seems some people get confused between what a splitter does and what a switch does. They do the opposite.
This will work as a "switch" - under some conditions [Posted on 2008-09-22]
This works fine as a splitter - it's pretty low tech, basically it's just two fiber optic wires squeezed together in the one end. It can also work as a "switch", but only if the optical output for your device completely shuts off.
E.g. on some players, cable boxes, etc. even when the device is turned off, the optical output is still on - if you look at the end of the cable you'll still see a red light. This is basically just a dead signal and interferes with the light from any other signal if you try to combine them.
If however the optical signal for your devices completely turns off (make sure the end of the cable is dark), you can plug two things into it, and as long as only one turned on at a time, it will work to switch between the sources.

tried it to split the output on my xbox 360 and it didnt work.I even tried it as a connector (extension) with only one cable comming out and it didnt work either. do not buy this.and dont order from bargaincell.com cause when I mailed them to tell them the product wasnt working I got this answer "if it doesnt work try another product" what kind of customer service is this?
Worthless [Posted on 2008-10-10]
Kills the signal so much, the reciever doesn't even see it. It's about a shade of pink on the other side. I am hooking this up to a PS3 and DVR to a JBL reciever. Everything works well with just the stright through calbes. But no matter what you do with a optical signal. It chokes all the time. Best of to convert to digital coaxal cable or worst off to buy a new reciever.
