Optical audio cables are a point-point type connection. There is a starting point and an ending point, with no intermediaries between them. If you wish to have the signal split, you need to use a splitter that provides multiple outputs.
Other than that, the plugs are keyed, so there should be no mystery as to how they should be socketed safely in their respective ports. Connecting optical cables together just doesn't work. Yes, it's possible, but should only be done in emergency situations, as it may well not work at all, in most cases.
