This optical cable has a Opti-Glow ring on the end that glows when a signal is present. The connector is non-keyed so no matter how you have it turned it snaps into the Toslink jack.

Optical cables are pretty basic - either they work or they don't. You can pay a lot for sturdier cables if you plan on bending them around corners or plugging/unplugging them a lot, but otherwise if you get a signal - you'll get sound. The problem I usually run into is that a cable isn't seated properly so I don't get a signal. How great, then, that this cable has a halo ring around each connector that lights up red if the connection is properly seated! I have a cat who is fond of playing with the cables behind the TV, and I can tell immediately that my audio has been unplugged just by looking for the little red light.

It's a wonderful addition to the lowly optical cable. This particular cable is on the lower end of shielding/insulation/protection, but I've been using mine for over a year without any problems. Unless you plan on working your cables daily, this is a good buy.

I'm pleased with this cable. I remove the 6 cables of my old HomeTheater connection and now have only one.
