Default Optical Cable Adaptors

I am using the Optical output from my Mac to feed my DAC. I use an optical cable with a 3.5mm end on the Mac and the "square' Toshlink end on my DAC.
To save me inserting and removing this cable to the soundcard and the DAC is there an optical 3.5 female to 3.5 male adaptor and also a Toshlink "square" female to male adaptor?
Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks anetode, but what I am looking for is:
A. 3.5mm Female to 3.5mm Male Optical Adaptor
B. Toslink Female to Toslink Male Adaptor.
The above could also be Optical Cables with the terminals mentioned above.

Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cables and Adapters - Toslink Right Angle Coupler Male to Female 360 degree Rotation

The other one doesn't exist, you'll have to use a different cable or a combination of two adapters.
