Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A great solution for DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound, Blue Series Digital Optical Audio Cables use superior-grade optical fiber to deliver better clarity and a more natural sound from your digital audio video components.

Digital Optical Audio uses polished optical terminations and optical fiber to transfer digital signals through pulsating light. Fiber is immune to all forms of EM/RF interference, providing superior sonic accuracy and a more detailed, natural sound. Ordinary optical cables can compromise your audio performance by using lower-grade, optical-fiber materials, and hot-plate termination of the fiber, rather than polishing. This can result in signal loss that causes poor clarity, loss of definition, and sound that is not truly accurate. PureAV Blue Series Digital Optical Audio Cables use the highest-quality materials to enhance your digital surround sound experience.

Features and Benefits

• Delivers better audio clarity and a more natural-sounding midrange
• Provides maximum durability and lowest-possible loss
• Minimizes loss for better high frequencies
• Precision-polished optical terminations
• Features precision-molded, corrosion-resistant connectors

5.0 out of 5 stars Add an optical cable to your set up, January 29, 2006

Do optical cables differ? Can you hear the difference? My "input" is this: one inexpensive cable that takes the place of separate R & L cables and provides all of your digital information from the DVD player to your AV receiver is a must-have. I plugged in the cable (easy) to the DVD player and into the optical input on my AV receiver and I am all taken care of. When I am listening to audio CDs or watching surround sound DVDS I only have to select the "Optical Input" option and choose what effect (such as surround, stereo, etc.) and I am good to go.

These cables have only one very small down side - they don't 'Click' when inserted.

They do fit firmly and work perfectly. With cables at 'BB' running over 50 bucks - these little fellows are a real bargan. I think they are an excellent choice.

Also, they come in a heavy-duty zip-lock bag with the Belkin logo on it rather then those stupid 'blister packs' the expensive cables come in. This means you can get the cable out without losing a finger, and re-use the nice heavy duty bag to store the extra cables we alway seem to end up with.
