Product Description

"Toslink Digital Audio Cable provides you the cleanest possible signal, even at extreme volume levels. These cables use 1mm low-loss core, low-jitter synthetic fiber and heavy metal connectors to dampen vibration, giving you the ultimate listening experience.

The stylish PVC HEAVY 5.0mm JACKET helps prevent cable damage and adds flexibility and durability for years of listening pleasure. MOULDED STRAIN RELIEFS reduce stress where cable and connectors meet. GOLD-PLATED FERRULE prevents corrosion and provides for maximum protection of the fiber tip. PRECISION POLISHED FIBER TIPS for maximum signal transfer (includes tip protectors). Connect to your DVD, CD, Mini Disc, DAT other digital audio equipment for clear, full and richly detailed sound. Connectors: Toslink Male to Toslink Male Cable Length: 12 feet / 3.7m OD 5.0 Cable Color: Black Designed for CD, D/A Converters, Dolby Digital DTS Surround sound receivers, DVD, MiniDisk players and recorders, Pro Audio cards, etc. Compatible with: ADAT, DAW, Dolby Digital, DTS devices with TosLink interface."

Wow these cables are great, for the price and come gold plated. They seem very durable also, with plenty of thickness and shielding.

This review is from: Eforcity Black Molded 12 Foot Digital Optical Audio TosLink Cable for CD, D/A Converters, Dolby Digital DTS Surround sound receivers, DVD, MiniDisk players and recorders, Pro Audio cards (Electronics)

I couldn't believe the price of this 12-foot TOSLINK cable. With shipping, it was still under $6 and it arrived in a huge hurry with standard shipping (Priority Mail - got to me in one business day!). At brick-and-mortar stores I have shopped and at competing internet vendors, the price was in the $20 to $50 range.

The only issue is that the ends aren't quite big enough so the cable won't stay in the Optical S/PDIF socket. There is a ten-second fix: simply cut out a 1-inch square of the plastic bag it came in, fold it over once (so it's double-thickness), punch a little hole with a small screwdriver in the middle of the area and stick the optical end of the cable through this. Then, stick the assembly in the S/PDIF socket. The plastic acts as a shim and makes for a really tight, reliable connection that won't ever pull out by accident.

It works greaaaat!!!! and the price is awesome!

Screw the bad hype about this product!

I bought a cord half the length and at 5 times the cost of this one and this one works just as great or even better. Idiots claiming it falls out....well then, quit kickin your stuff around! Seriously, what the heck are you peoples doing for it to fall out?!?!? This clicked in BETTER vs the shorter cable (phillips) I purchased at a name brand store!

Product came as pictured with the protective tips that stay attached to the cord after removal. The shorter more expensive Phillps cord i bought? Those tips weren't attached to the cord and have disappeared. Weak.
