Default TOS Link Splitter

Does anyone know a cost effective way to split a TOS Link SPDIF signal
into 2, 3 or 4 destinations?

They are findable pretty easily on ebay at around 6 dollars (4 pounds)
new.
Seems pretty cost effective to me...

This is certainly cost effective, but I have no idea how reliable it
would be. It appears to be completely passive.

Convert it to coax and use a video synch DA.

Actually it's starting out AES (or SPDIF) from the sound card, and I need to
feed TOS inputs (mindisc recorders). I could split it with an AES DA, or
select SPDIF and use a cheap video DA as you suggest but then I still got to
convert each individual split to TOS.

It now looks like I only need to feed 2 TOS inputs, not 3 or 4 as I
originally thought. I already have an AES to TOS converter, so it looks
like for only $6, I'm good to go! I'd say that's cost effective.

Thanks for the links to the 2-way TOS Splitters, guys.

These appears to passively split the optical signal. They'll introduce a power
loss in the signal strength. That'll reduce reliable available connection length.
Even the extra connections introduce signal loss too. So the signal is doubly
degraded.

But if you are splitting to (2) one foot cables from a robust source,
there should not be a problem.

That would seem to be a safe example of their use.

And also the application I had in mind.
