5.0 out of 5 stars Wake up people, March 27, 2008

This review is from: StarTech.com TOSLINK20 20 feet Premium Toslink Digital Optical SPDIF Audio Cable (Electronics)

Purchased for the surround sound of my new LCD TV. This cable does exactly what it is supposed to do...transmit optical signals. It provides the highest quality digital signal for audio available for the consumer and THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOW QUALITY OPTICAL SIGNAL-it either works or it doesn't. Your ears/eyes cannot tell the difference between this 25 dollar toslink and a mon**** toslink for 5 times the price. Oh plus I needed 20ft and you know who, the "monsters" of the cable industry don't even make one. And in fact, there is no difference. Its called marketing and big name companies package their stuff all nice and hit you with this spiel about how you gotta pay big bucks to get the best. Wake up peeps- the reality is that it doesn't make a difference and if your super-human ears could actually hear the difference then you need to be battling villains with the X-Men...not watching TV.

This is the most durable feeling toslink cable I've owned. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the price but what I got far exceeded my expectations. Based on the heavy duty construction, I'd guess the design is intended for an industrial application. Being a digital cable that uses light instead of an electrical signal, performance means either working or not so it would be pointless to say if it 'performed' differently than any other toslink. This is an incredible value. If you need a long run of toslink, you can't go wrong with this one. You'll pay at least twice what this cost for a shorter and more fragile cable at most retail establishments.
