5.0 out of 5 stars 90 Degree / Right Angle Toslink Adapter, April 9, 2011

This is a really great adapter.

When installed, the adapter only extends outward about 1/2 inch beyond the face of the port where it plugs in. If you have a fixed flat panel wall mount with very little clearance between the wall and the TV, this adapter will solve your problem. Since you don't want to be bending a fiber optic cable to the point where it breaks the fiber strand, this 90 degree adapter provides an abrupt directional change that you'd never be able to get by just bending the cable without damaging it. Keep in mind that, yes, you can bend a fiber cable 90 degrees, but you definitely can't bend it enough at the end termination (the plug) so it fits in a 1/2 inch gap.

Another great feature of this adapter is that it swivels a full 360 degrees, when it's plugged in, so you can aim it in the best direction to suit your connection needs.

I'm not sure if the last reviewer was referring only to the cheaper right-angle Toslink adapters sold elsewhere on this site, or if he experienced problems with this unit in terms of receiving the proper adapter, but amazon shipped the correct adapter (it is exactly as pictured on this page), and it worked just fine. I was happy to see a company made such an adapter, as my installation required one.

The price was right, it arrived quickly, it was easy to install and it just works. I plugged it in and have forgotten about it.
