Product Description

Mediabridge Toslink Cables
The Toslink optical audio connection carries a digital audio stream using a fiber-optic cable. This Mediabridge Toslink Cable is perfect for whenever you need to connect audio devices, such as a CD or DVD players to a receiver or preamplifier.

In home-theater applications, you can use the Toslink connection to send a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack to an audio processor or A/V receiver for surround-sound decoding.

Since Toslink uses fiber-optic cable, it is free from distortion caused by electrical or magnetic interference that an electrical cable would incur. The result is an audio signal that is purer, as well as truer to the original recording.

Quality Construction
This Mediabridge cable features a durable, PVC outer layer, and a durable buffer tubing that resists corrosion and offers optimal signal transfer.

Limited Lifetime Warranty
This Mediabridge cable is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Not much to rave about here folks. It's exactly 3 feet long (they don't short you), and works like any other optical digital cable. if you need an optical cable, and 3 feet is long enough, get it.

This review is from: Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 3ft (Electronics)

When buying this cable I wasn't aware that the connectors for these cables come in different sizes. The end result of this is that this cable does not lock in to my xbox 360's optical input. However, it DOES lock in to other devices I have. Basically buyer beware, I used a little duct tape to secure the cable into the 360's input so it works alright as long as it isn't moved too much, but it's a rather inconvenient and barbaric fix to a problem that shouldn't exist. Other than that the cable is fine, length is as advertised and quality is the same as all my other cables of this type.

These are simple cables that work. I bought three. All were the right length. All worked.

The only issue I had is that the grip area is a little thicker than most other Toslink cables I've seen, so when I initially tried to connect to my Roku HD-XR (there is an abnormally small amount of free space around the port on this box), I could not push the cable in far enough to get it to lock in place. Eventually, I tried an existing cable I had in my set-up, got that to lock and then re-tried this cable and was able to lock it into place without further issue. Apparently, there was a combined issue with the virgin port and the lack of open space around it.

Final word: The cable works, it's a good deal.
