SCART, once the king of analog standards. The Americans pretty much missed out on the standard completely, while it reigned supreme in Europe during the 80s and 90s, and here in Australia we saw the connection standard pop-up on high-end consumer TVs, early Foxtel boxes and professional broadcast monitors (commonly referred to as PVMs or BVMs).

However, you weren't here for a history lesson. In fact, you're likely on this very page as you've struck upon the same SCART connection problem that so many have before... and that is, that most SCART cables and adapters always terminate with a male plug connection. With SCART extension cables vitrually non-existant, this little SCART Female to Female Coupler becomes an essential tool to connect one SCART plug to another, for completing some of the more complicated AV connections.
So that's exactly what this little adapter does! It functions as a gender-changer adapter, so that two male SCART plugs can be joined.
So what's with the SCART format?
SCART is an AV connection standard largely adopted in Europe and more widely throughout the world for the transmission of higher quality analog video and audio signals. The 21-Pin connector is able to carry a multitude of popular analog AV signals, including Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video, RGB and RGBS for use with PVMs (Professional Video Monitors) and similar broadcast quality equipment.
On a consumer level, SCART was often found on higher end TV's from Europe along with VCR's, DVD recorders, set top boxes (STB) & Foxtel boxes etc throughout the 80's and 90's.
RGB SCART and retro gaming cables
More recently, SCART cables have seen a resurgence in popularity due to their ability to get the very best picture quality from retro game consoles like the Sega Master System, Mega Drive and Saturn, and the Super Nintendo + N64 consoles. Retro gaming enthusiasts have discovered that these aforementioned consoles from the 80s & 90s were capable of outputting very high quality RGB Video signals compatible with RGB SCART equipped TVs and professional broardcast monitors. To get the very best RGB video signals from these consoles you'll need a SCART cable with the specific Multi-AV plug for each console which you can find in our Retro Gaming Cables section.
SCART Coupler Specifications:
We had recently purchased a couple of Astro MixAmp headphone amplifiers with Dolby Headphone. These enable listening to surround sound without blasting the neighbours.
They have both coax and optical inputs, but our TVs only have optical outputs. Therefore we needed to split the optical output from the TV.
The TOSLINK Splitter (Digital Optical Splitter) works perfectly with our latest model Samsung 3D TV (PS58C7000), providing both of us with high fidelity, surround sound, with no crackles or pops. 
As Chriss review states, its a really good bit of gear, and works flawlessly for my needs. I have a Blu-ray and DVD player, both of which I run into the optical splitter, then I send it into the only input on my amp. It saves me swapping over all the time and doesnt lose audio quality. Id recommend it.
The TOSLINK Splitter (Digital Optical Splitter) is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to hook up my XBOX 360 to my receiver and a set of 5.1 headphones at the same time. I ran the optical out from the XBOX to the single input side of the splitter, then two optical cables from the splitter, one to the receiver and the other to the processor box on the headphones (Tritton AX360s). This way I can leave the receiver off and just listen through the headphones, or leave the headphones off and just listen through the receiver or if Im feeling really adventurous, both at the same time!
Its not cheap (even at the discounted Cable Chick price) but Ive certainly paid more money for much less useful chunks of plastic in the past, it does the job and saves me manually switching the optical in from the receiver to the headphones whenever the family is asleep.
