5.0 out of 5 stars Optical Miracle, January 20, 2008

After looking everywhere for a Fiber Optic switch, I was just about ready to give up until I remembered good ol' Amazon. And, BINGO! Here is what I was looking for exactly.

If you need to connect multiple devices that have fiber optic OUTS to a sound system that has only 1 fiber optic IN---this is what you need.

I hooked in my BluRay and DirectTV into this switch with the other end going into my Samsung surround system. Now, when I am watching TV, I toggle the switch to the DirectTV and Boom! It's on. Then when I watch a movie, toggle the switch the other direction and Boom! Sound is perfect.

No hassle. No problem. Easy to use. What more could you ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars frisbee switch works!, June 27, 2008

I called this a frisbee switch because its a little bit larger than a standard CD case. Despite its size, it works flawlessly. The dial mechanism operates on a pushbutton. Just push in the button, turn the dial, and listen to the satisfying "click" letting you know it is in place, ready for the next signal.

I tried to avoid a manual switch with a "Bi-directional" splitter which did not work for me. I have Logitech Z-5500 digital speakers with one optical input, and the light amplitude put out by the bi-directional splitter just wasnt enough to register with the optical port. Word to the wise, dont waste your money on a splitter, Use this switch! I wish I had known this earlier!

No more crawling behind my entertainment center to switch the toslink source between my Xbox 360 and my cable box! This product works great, I have noticed no attenuation of the sound quality since I began using this switch.
