Hello,
Optical Ethernet Cable?
In itself, the technology in the wire is the same; it’s still light.
But what changes are the connectors and thus the usage.
Best regards

Thank you for the response, however behind my PS4 I have an optical output that is the same as the one coming from the FTO box before my router, can I use the same cable?
Hi,
I would add that audio fibers, covering very short distances, are often plastic fibers rather than glass fibers which are used for long-distance communications.
As for the replacement, I doubt that a single-mode fiber would work well with connectors designed for plastic fibers (I don’t know the mode of plastic fibers, but it must be closer to multimode); the efficiency should be very low and the losses in terms of optical budget quite significant.
It’s better to use audio patch cords made for audio connections.
But if the SC connectors are compatible, nothing prevents you from trying; it won’t damage anything as long as you don’t force it like a brute to push the connector in.

and... Here you go!

It's cool for your response; I didn't force it anyway. If the connectors aren't identical, the difference is that you can find Y connectors in standard optical cables, priced like Y connectors in network cables—some with one on one side and four on the other, or one on one side and none on the other, at a lower cost, probably of better quality. But as long as it doesn't damage anything when I test it, that reassures me. Thanks again.
Afterwards,
although similar, I don't think a SC/SC patch cable is compatible with a TOSLINK connector for audio/video.

PS,
I've just checked, a TOSLINK connector is indeed much smaller than an SC.
