5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade from analog wire, June 3, 2009

This is an excellent toslink/optical cable that has performed perfectly. I have used it to replace an analog RCA-mini plug cable which connected my Apple Airport Express to my home theater receiver. This optical cable allows the receiver to do the D-to-A conversion. The sound is SO much better.

The cable itself is an ideal length and seems sturdy. The connectors fit well and the cable is resistant to unwanted bending. A quality piece at a fair price.

The clerk at the local Best Buy had no clue what I was talking about when I said I needed an cable to go from a mini-optical SP/DIF (Soundblaster audio card) to a standard TOSLink (home theater amp), not even the home theater specialist had a clue. This cable fits the need perfectly. Good length, construction feels solid and it's almost as flexible as a wire cable.

Fiber optic cables are far more fragile than traditional copper cables. The biggest danger is in bending the cable enough to break or kink the lightpipe. This cable has a very thick jacket, perfect for protecting the lightpipe from kinks and excessive bending.

I was able to quickly connect the optical audio out from my PS3 to my MacBook pro. After downloading the free LineIn app from Rogue Amoeba to send audio-in to my main speakers, I'm able to play music on my mac along with game sounds.
