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.

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.

Simple -- does it get the information from the Blu-ray player to the receiver? Absolutely.

There isn't much to say about this, other than there's a lot of price markup missing.

Great cable. Low price.

I bought this to help connect multiple sound sources to my tuner/amplifier and run sound through my main surround speakers. It seems well made--better than some others I have. So far, it works just fine.

Perfect size to connect FIOS STB to my receiver for surround TV. Sound quality is excellent, price too!

I bought this to use on my cable box. I have a more expensive one on my ps3...I can't tell a difference between the 2. Great product for the price.

I'm a PC nerd and now entered the amazing world of Home Theater Systems. I ALWAYS purchase mid to high end hardware, and refuse to use any low end cabling on any of my systems or gadgets! My PC's and hardware are an investment that I demand quality performance from. I have used RCA, Monster, Radio Shack, and Cables-To-Go in the past. When I became an Amazon shopper (Prime Member), I found the Mediabridge cable line. I first purchased only a couple of Mediabridge cables to test as a possible replacement of my existing cables. When I received the Mediabridge cables (RCA's & HDMI), I was initially impressed by their packaging/boxing. To save money & pass the savings on to you, they poly-bag and seal their cables, and then place in a Mediabridge labeled corrugated box to the size of the cable. It did not bother me that their cables were not in a retail type blister pack to make them appear like "quality" out of the box etc.

My first test with their cable(s) was quite impressive! Mediabridge sells ULTRA PREMIUM cables at an affordable price!! My tests went so well, that I have changed ALL OF MY CABLES TO MEDIABRIDGE (if they offer my cable in their line on Amazon)!!! Their HDMI cables are heavy weight with gold plated plugs, and they carry an audio and video signal better than any other cable I have ever used. Their Toslink Optical cables are heavy yet flexible and also carry any audio signal like no other cable I've experienced. Don't hesitate to spend a few extra dollars on their RCA cables! Their RCA line is also a quality/premium product.

In closing I must say again that Mediabridge cables are PREMIUM CABLES at a reasonable price. I just invested LOTS OF $$$ in to a Home Theater System for my bedroom (EVERYTHING PURCHASED THROUGH AMAZON), and I'm not going to skimp on the cables that I need. Mediabridge is the way to go! I have already purchased NUMEROUS Mediabridge cables for my systems, and I'm not done yet-I WILL ALWAYS SEARCH THE MEDIABRIDGE LINE BEFORE I BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND CABLE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mediabridge as your cabling source!

Happy Cabling!

I am very satisfied with the cable - there is really no difference between it and higher priced optical cables - go for it!
