TOSLINK Cable Keeps Pure Digital Audio Signal Between Components
The TOSLINK optical audio connection carries a digital audio stream using a fiber-optic cable. This AmazonBasics 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.

Never Buy Overpriced Cables March 9, 2010
D. Mantelli (Silicon Valley, CA USA)
My goal in life is to never buy overpriced cables. I figure that it is a cable and how could it break. After all it just sits there collecting dust. It's a digital signal going through glass/plastic fiber, there will be no difference compared to the $450 dollar AudioQuest class 5 optical cable - TosLink plugs 1m (3.28'). If you bought this $450 cable, I cry for you.
The cable is your basic black color and it looks as nice as a cable can look. The cable is flexible and bendy just like a cable should be. It is long. The connection fits snugly from my Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black) to my ancient Philips DirecTV DVR With 40GB TIVO.
It comes in a nice cardboard box that is so simple to open. You can then toss the packaging into your recycle bin for recycling.
Nice buy ! March 4, 2010
sabari (NC USA)
purchased this to transfer sound from my HDTV to Bose system, simple to use....just plugged in thats it.
excellent performance.
I've seen many sites selling this cable with "metal braiding" claiming superior performance....and dont think that it is a good idea because "optical cable" transfer sound as light pulses hence you dont need a metal casing to protect "light" from electrical interference.
There is a protective soft rubber casing at both cable ends ...remember to pluck it out before plugging in.
fine cbles March 4, 2010
Jim Penname (New Jersey USA)
These cables work fine.
Once you remove the sheild and get them firmly in place they stay seated just fine.
If you have never used optical cables but have equipment that supports them , you are in for a pleasant surprise
in quality and ease of use.
Stellar sound, simple setup. March 2, 2010
J. Stroh
This cable does a great job going from my often dodgy cable box into my new Sony home theater receiver. The sound is great without any interruption. It flexes and feels more durable than any of my previous optical cables.
Frustration-free packaging is the best. No longer do I worry about cutting the cable or myself trying to get through that nasty clear plastic that wraps so many electronics these days. If only everything came in a simple cardboard box that just opens and recycles.
Great optical audio solution February 24, 2010
CAR (Bay Area, CA)
Clean design, plugs click in with ease but also stay seated, and good price. Not sure why, for the average application, you'd need any other cable costing more.
