5 out of 5 stars Great Cable at a Great Price   January 10, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I use this cable to attach my Logitech z5500 speakers to an X-fi extreme gamer sound card. It is just the ticket. It does a great job with the digital 5.1 surround sound on movies and delivers clean and crisp sound in movies and games. As this is the first optical interconnect I have used, I have nothing with which to compare it. However, at the price, I don't think you can go very far wrong.

Unlike the reviewer who got a cable with normal toslink plugs on both ends, I did in fact get a correct one with one normal and one mini, but it's not *exactly* like what's pictured here: the cable between the plugs is extremely thin, maybe 1/2 - 2/3 the thickness of the miniplug's neck.

This is arguably a good thing since it takes up less space (fiber doesn't have the same problems with resistance and interference as a conventional wire does and therefore doesn't need to be particularly thick), but I worry about its long-term durability.... this might not be a cable you want to keep loose in a bag with a lot of other stuff.

On the plus side though it does come with little silicone covers for the tips, even if the picture suggests it might not. They're not attached with strings though, so be careful you don't lose them.

As far as using it, I can say mine works fine. Connected my macbook to my receiver and was able to play 5.1 and other stuff with no problems and no fiddling.

Mini-toslink to Toslink. Exactly as described and pictured. Works like a charm. I was worried due to reviewer who twice got the wrong cable. But I had no problems. Also shipped fast.


1 out of 5 stars Does a true Toslink to Mini Toslink cable exist?   September 6, 2007
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

Today I received my second normal, run-of-the-mill optical cable with a normal, run-of-the-mill toslink plug on both ends. Why is this significant? Because this is the second time I have ordered a cable that "claimed" to have a normal toslink on one end and a mini-toslink on the other. The picture of each cable even showed a mini-toslink on one end, but alas, the cable itself has none. Does the ellusive mini-toslink plug actually exist or is it just a myth? I do not know, but I am done paying shipping charge in order to find out. Beware of the picture...it lies.


5 out of 5 stars Cheap, high-quality, reliable, zero-complaints.   June 12, 2007

Today's best fiber optic cable can send a 10 gigabit multimode signal several kilometers and it costs 60 cents per foot. Why do some manufacturers charge $60 or more for to send a single-mode 128kbps signal a few feet?

If you're connecting a Toslink device to a mini-Toslink this cable is all you need and it works exactly as advertised. It was shipped fast, works great, and you can't beat the price.
