Using this cable to send audio (CD) from the Sony Blu-Ray player to my Samsung Home Theater system. It works flawlessly and you can't beat the price.
Don't buy into the cable hype. This cable is affordable and will do the job very well!
Fiberoptic cable Great price. I don't notice a difference between this cable and my older "brand-name" cable which costed 10-15x more a few years ago ($30 aproximately). Shipping was expensive and costed more than the cable.
NOT the cable for the XBox 360 owners! I bought these from Vortex Cable via Amazon. I don't know if all sellers are the same, but they combined shipping for me. I ordered five and paid the same shipping for one.
As people have stated, this cable is digital so it has the same signal quality of the "ripoff" cables costing $50+.
The only thing I noticed was that it would not snap tightly into my 360. No problems on the PS3, TV, or Onkyo Toslink connections though. I bought a $12 Phillips cable from WalMart and that snapped into the 360 perfectly.
I saved a ton of money using these for the other connections, and would highly recommend them to anyone but 360 users.
Quality cable @ a great price Like other reviewers have stated I ordered this cable from Abacus 24/7. Total with shipping came in a little over $4. Plugged in the cable and all is good. I can now get Dolby Digital into my receiver from my TV. :)
Great cable This cable works great. Came in fairly fast and hooked up no problem. Not an issue with it.
Good thing about this cable is that it can double as a whip. Makes a wonderful melee weapon while LARPing with your friends. Anyone getting too close to you is going to feel the wrath of the Toslink!
