A Real BargainNovember 12, 2008 I never understood why one piece of flexible glass cost so much more than another. If they both transmit light and have decent quality connectors attached, why pay more? I bought a few of these cables and each one has performed just like the four expensive-brand cables I bought in the past. Don't buy into the expensive cable hype. These work perfectly.
Don't Even Bother!!!September 13, 2008 I purchased 5 of these with one of the multiple Toslink switches. They didn't work for me at all. I tried each one seperately and none of them worked with the switch. Even more frustrating, was the fact that only one out of five work at all with my 5.1 surround sound system. Then I thought, maybe the selector switch was bad. But after purchasing name brand 3ft optical cables from one of the superstores, I found that the switch works great. Problem solved. I threw these things in the trash. I paid about 45 times more for the name brand cables. It was more than worth it. DON'T EVEN BOTHER!!!
Why pay $18.00 at Radio ShackAugust 9, 2008 If you only need a short optical cord, you can get this one for $3.00 with shipping and it works fine.
Why pay more?
MONSTER SCAM GOING ON OUT THEREJuly 27, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
OK, you have been shopping for cables to finish off your new home theater system and time after time a salesperson tells you about MONSTER cables. Well, when it comes to HDMI or Red/Blue/Green component cables, getting something nice with gold fittings is the way to go but spending big bucks to buy the MONSTER brand name is way over rated. Search our some similar but way cheaper cables on Amazon.com. Now regarding these optical cables. Brand means nothing. Transferring a light signal is transferring a light signal. A gold fitting means squat. As long as the optical cable you buy delivers the light signal from a cable box to your TV or audio system, you good to go. Example, I purchased a MONSTER Cable on sale for $38 bucks before I saw this cable on Amazon.com. Glad Circuit City has a 30 return policy with receipt because I sure used it. Once my less then less than a buck optical cable arrived and I saw that it delivered a light signal just like the MONSTER cable with the MONSTER price did, I returned that overpriced cable faster than you can say jack rabbit. When installing your optical cable, look close at the shape of the fitting and the shape of the whole it goes in. Kinda trick to make sure you are placing it in correctly and push it in snug. Do not jam it in without lining up which side is up. Also, do not crimp the cable. You are dealing with fiber optics here so keep the cord from bending at a sharp able to keep your light passageway from getting blocked. ENJOY AND SAVE BIG BUCKS.
Optical cableJuly 5, 2008 Ended up being too short and required repositing of my music system. Great price and comparable sound quality to brand-name cables for a fraction of the price.
