Description of ๐Ÿ”Œ Optical Toslink Audio Cable - Monoprice 1.5ft, 5.0mm OD

Optical S/PDIF (aka Toslink) cables are an excellent way to distribute high-definition multi-channel audio. This cable features a full-sized Toslink connector on each end. Full-sized male Digital Optical Audio (Toslink) connectors at each end | 5.0mm outside diameter | Molded strain relief connectors reduce strain where the cable and connectors meet. Gold plated ferrule resists corrosion and provides maximum protection for the connector tip | Precision polished fiber tips for maximum signal transfer | Plastic tip protectors attached to each end to protect the optical cable when not in use.

Does what is advertised.

I used this TOS Light Link to connect an Xbox 360 to an Onkyo receiver. It works as expected. Incredibly, this provides a better signal to my receiver than using the TV to send an HDMI signal to my Xbox receiver. Using a Xbox/TV and Xbox/receiver combination will result in the Xbox/receiver delivering a better, louder, and clearer signal to the receiver. All I know is that TOS Light Link works better than expected. Thanks very much!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not working

Another great cable Monoprice

I wasn't sure how well an optical cable of this length would work, but so far it's worked great with all the devices I've used it with. I actually have these in the wall/ceiling connected with two Keystone wall panels. In addition to this, there is actually a 6 foot cable going to the USB powered optical switch and a 3 foot cable to my receiver. No problem, then, if more than 50 feet of optical cable run through a switch and two keystone connectors. I have been buying Monoprice cables for manyโ€ฆ

Measure the cable before installation

So this cable appears to be of good quality, well packaged and free from defects. Except it's not anywhere near 40 feet, which is what I found after fishing it through my ceiling and preventing it from getting near my receiver. I even measured with a margin of 4-5 feet. The included HDMI cable was the perfect length and worked great. Big Lesson: Measure your cables before you catch them. I'd return it, but since it's already in the quilt I'm just going to rearrange all my componentsโ€ฆ

that's exactly what it says

At first I don't know if that was something in my house, but I had to plug and unplug this thing 3 times! the only way it worked was to connect to the source (TV) first and then to the receiver, after that it worked fine, maybe that's how it's connected. Just a minor note is the way the wire was twisted. I had to stretch it for hours and hold phone books by both ends because it would look like a feather. After stretching, I was able to run over the wall and across the top of the room to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • For old ones

Great long optical cable

Bought to use with our new Samsung surround sound system and so far it has worked exactly as expected. The 12 foot length is great and allowed us to hide it behind drywall for a "clean" look on the wall. Once connected, it tightens to keep your connection secure. The sound quality of music and movies has improved by leaps and bounds. I'm finally hearing more individual sounds in certain areas of the room which other methods seem to struggle with - it helps provide clarity I think. Good priceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Loads of positive vibes
Cons
  • Too long to wait

I bought a bluetooth transceiver with optical inputs just to watch tv at night. It was the first transmitter with an optical input. I was looking for 2 things. First, the sound quality, especially when watching ROKU and watching music videos, concerts, etc. Second, I checked for 0 SYNC issues. That means if you see someone's lips move on the TV screen, you'll hear the word in your headphones at the same time. :) No delays of a few milliseconds etc. Definitely. The transmitter/receiver is at the

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Hard to say

Works great, great quality and saved my laptop!

Well, the obvious pluses of this cable:--Looks great--Works great--Powerful MiniToslink connector What I didn't expect is that it will save me from my own stupidity . One day I put my laptop on a small basket because it was convenient. Next, a cat runs past, hitting him and BAM - the laptop tips over and lands squarely on the headphone jack in an almost Olympic attempt to break something inside my computer. I approach expecting trouble, but instead the cable snapped. neat, about 3mm from theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • Some little things
