Incredible price/performance. Works flawlessly as advertised. Construction and quality exceeds my expectation for the price paid.

This is the longest Toslink optical cable I've found readily available, and for that, it is amazingly, almost unbelievably economical. It has a very thick, heavy jacket, which should help to protect the optical fiber within. It also has hefty end connectors, and the gold-tone accents on them serve absolutely no useful purpose on an optical cable, but they look do nice and give it an extra air of quality. I've had this cable for about two years. One end of it hangs off an extra input in back of my home theater receiver, and the other end lives under my couch, where it gets shoved around in the dust and occasionally trodden on, and it performs flawlessly without complaint. This allows me to just sit down with my MacBook Pro laptop anytime, pop in the cable, and instantly listen to anything in my music library (or internet radio etc.) in full digital quality. Isn't technology grand! This would also be ideal for hooking up the digital sound output of your HDTV back to your stereo or home theater, or any similar application where you need a longer than usual cable. By the way, for use with the MacBook Pro or other laptop with a similar analog/digital dual-purpose port, you'll want a mini optical adaptor such as this one from RiteAV, or perhaps this one if you prefer a right-angle connector. Highly recommended. "Buy without hesitation."

Now I can connect and control my new Toshiba DX-E500 DVD player with my Logitech Z5500 surround sound speakers from the comfort of my couch! There are no problems so far as soon as the cable is not bended or smashed! This one is great and both ends fit perfectly on my equipment. Highly recommended for accuracy and lenght!
