Monoprice 12-foot Toslink optical audio cable drops to $4.25 on Amazon

Reported by Slickdeals, TechBargains

Amazon is selling Monoprice's 12-foot S/PDIF Toslink digital optical audio cable in black for $4.25, according to a deal report from Slickdeals published on 15 November 2026. TechBargains reported the same price on the same day, so the two reports agree on the figure. Slickdeals says shipping is free for Prime members and on orders of $35 or more.

The cable is a fibre-optic link for digital audio. It carries multi-channel sound between devices such as a soundbar, a TV, an AV receiver or a games console. Because it sends light rather than electrical signals, it avoids common problems such as ground loops and electrical interference, according to the product description quoted by TechBargains. Both connectors are full-size, with molded strain relief and gold-plated tips. The outer diameter is 5.0 mm.

Slickdeals also lists a 10-foot cable from the same brand, but its excerpt does not give a price for that model. TechBargains lists several similar cables from other brands on Amazon, shown in euros at roughly 6.50 to 9.10 for lengths between 6 and 15 feet. Those prices are for comparison only and do not form part of this deal. Readers should not assume the same prices apply in every market.

The reports do not say how long the price will last, how many units Amazon has in stock, or whether the offer applies in every Amazon region. Neither source mentions an end date.
