I'm usually a big fan of Belkin, but this optical cable has such a poor fit in my receiver it's disappointing. I had to use a cable tie alongside another wire and now it is resting where it is supposed to go, but not solidly held in place. There's no need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on Monster's high end cables, (digital is digital is digital), but their bargain variety is a better option than this.

This cable is perfect for transfering digital sound to your Home Theater system from any additional player. It seems very good with the gray color and comes with protection for the tips in case you diconnect it.

Be careful with the length, it could trick you if your two equipments are some far (notice that it is only three feet long). But for those that don't want to have a lot of cables hanging from the back of the stand, this is the one.

I'm using it for transfering the digital sound of my playstation 3 to the audio receiver. I'm very satisfied.

Yes - I should have read the reviews before buying these. The fit is extremely loose, to the point that you will need to do something to ensure the cables remain plugged. I have used duct tape whenever I could, but perhaps adding some crazy glue to the outer portion of the plug, then waiting for it to dry, then plugging it - could also work because it seems that these cables were just cut a millimeter short - and thats why they are so cheap.

I bought this to go with the Gefen Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter in order to get audio from my Apple TV 2 to a DVI TV. The converter came with a Toslink patch cable, but it didn't work. I'd ordered the Belkin one not knowing a cable was included, and it's a good thing. The Belkin works perfectly. Some reviewers (of this or other toslink cables, I forget) have mentioned that they have to turn the volume way up to hear the audio when using this kind of setup. I do not find that that is the case for me. I like the short length of this cable, since it's merely connecting the Apple TV and the Gefen converter. I didn't want yards of cable cluttering the space.

For the price of the cable and the fast service by antonline, I have no problems at all!!! So good,I bought 2 at the same time along with a digital optic switch to go between my DirecTv box, Sony DVD player and a Sony home theater unit... I'm VERY HAPPY!!!!

Hooked up the optical cable from my A/V to my DVD and the sound is awesome.
Optical digital cables do not use copper to transmit data, but pulses of light. Since there is no interference, the signal does not degrade over long distances and it does not weaken. With optical digital cables, you can get one of the best reproductions of digital signals available.

First when I ordered this cable I thought that it was going to be very very poor quality and it would look very cheap... But when it arrived I note that I was wrong it is a good heavy cable...It works great with my PS3!!!!

Great! Used to distribute the audio from my cable TV to my Sony receiver, and works great. As you connect it on one of the ends, the other will emit a red light, so you can REALLY see where you are connecting it. Highly recommended.

There's not much you can write about a connector cable, especially if it does its job well! This cable does its job, and does it well. The cable feels durable, the ends are well formed and I did not have any trouble with the connections.

Got this cable for under $5 during a lightning deal. Compared to the 2 other optical cables that we have, this is a much better build quality (The others came with products, so they weren't very expensive). This cable has caps for the optical ends that are connected to the cable itself, so no losing them. I didn't experience any fit issues like others have. I used it to connect a PS3 and an Onkyo surround system. Obviously its only 3 ft, so don't buy it and expect longer, but that was all I needed so I give the cable 5/5 stars.
