Optical End Cap?

[admin_exported]

Hi, does ANYONE know where I can get one - I have lost the one for my DAB 500 and it shines a red light on the wall and annoys me!

 

Optical output end cap plug thingy, thanks 🙂

I'd try asking Cambridge Audio for a replacement (or two), or even Richer Sounds. (Or Blutack?)

A piece of black PVC (ooerr) insulation tape cut to size will do the trick. Just stick it across the hole.

Most dealers will have lots of these kicking around in their junk boxes - they may give it to you for nothing or charge you just a nominal amount. But insulating or gaffer tape will work just as well.

What the hell is an optical end cap?

The little blanking plug in the optical digital input/output sockets on equipment. Some more recent equipment just has a little shutter that's pushed aside by the plug being inserted.
