 works, but very poor connectors Feb 26, 2009
By Ross Binkley
While this cable will indeed provide a path for photons to move as with any other optical cable, the connectors are very poorly made. I'm guessing that they don't meet the mechanical specs for toslink, as they don't hold themselves in the jacks as they are supposed to. I literally had to use tape on one of the connectors to keep it from falling out of the port under no more pressure than its own weight. Correctly designed toslink cables stay in the same jack just fine.
Conclusion: Don't spend $100 on an optical cable (since they all perform exactly the same as far as data is concerned,) but do get one with good connectors (which can be had at reasonable prices, but apparently not this low.) Of course, for any form of digital data, whether electronic (HDMI, DVI, etc.) or optical (toslink, fibrechannel, etc.,) there is no difference in signal quality as long as the data actually gets to the other end, so a medium-cheap cable will perform *exactly* the same as an expensive "high-end" cable, unless you are in an environment with an incredibly high amount of electromagnetic noise (at which point you shouldn't have your TV or receiver [or yourself] there anyway.)

 Fantastic Cable and can't beat the price Feb 11, 2009
By J. Weaver
12 FT Digital Audio Optical TOSLink Cable Optic 12ft
I recently purchased these cables and I am glad to say they are fantastic. I was hesitant initially due to some reviews saying that the cable didn't fit properly. When I received the cables I realized that those who are inserting the cables, claiming they don't fit, are putting the cables in upside down. So if you have difficulty initially, just turn it so that the rounded portion of the male plug faces down, (which the receptacles have all the rounded portions on the bottom of all of my equipment) and then it should just snap right in! So with that, I highly recommend this cable and you can't beat the price!

 Decent cable for the price Nov 01, 2008
By W. Carroll
Good cheap cable. Only caveat is that it does not plug into devices securely. Doesn't have the grooves to "pop" into devices for a snug fit and may come out easily if jostled.

Perfectly good cable Apr 10, 2008

I've been using this in my home theater for months now and it works perfectly fine. Stay away from overpriced brand-name cables in chain stores!

 What a Deal for this Optic Cable!! Jun 08, 2009
By D. Lee
Can't beat the price on this puppy! I needed something longer than the standard 6' optic cables for my audio receiver and this cable works great in terms of the extra length. I know that some folks have stated that it's too loose, which I did notice as well regardless of whether I inserted it every way possible. A quick remedy is to simply use some plumber's tape and wrap it around the end before connecting to my receiver.
