Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 3 FT Digital Audio Optical TOSLink Cable Optic 3ft
Customer Review: Misleading Pictures
Summary: 1 Stars
The picture posted by another reviewer is what this cable actually looks like. And truthfully, in my opinion, that picture has a higher quality look about it than the actual cable. The other pictures show a much thicker cable that gives the appearance of good quality. I recognize that you get what you pay for and one shouldn't expect high quality at the price quoted. Nevertheless, the highly misleading pictures should be completely unacceptable. The cable that I received was of such poor quality that I just trashed it. I wouldn't consider using it in my home theater setup.Customer Review: Why pay more?
Summary: 5 Stars
This cable does the trick. It sends the digital signal and does so just fine-what else do you want from a cable of this sort?
It is a little thin, so if you'll be running it over or if you have pets/children who like to chew on your cables it may not be the best choice for you. However, as a general rule, optical cables should not be taking any abuse and if that's the case in your house as it is in mine (despite the small children, the dog, the cats, the other mayhem) I can't think of a reason to buy a more expensive tool to accomplish the exact same job.
Customer Review: Digital sound is digital sound.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cable for use with my new Xbox360, and it does exactly what it needs to do. I opted for this instead of the "official" cable that comes with the jacked up price, when it doesn't carry anything else, except a fancy brand name, than this one does. I've also bought one of these for my DVD player and it works with that just as well. Prices for these cables can really become unbelievable if you just take a look around online. Don't fall prey to the big box cables, go with the simple choice. Digital sound is digital sound, it can't get any clearer than that.Customer Review: Why pay a ton of money for a Monster cable?
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to connect my XBox to my surround sound system, so i did a search for "XBox optical" and the Xbox 100X Fiber Optic Cable by Monster Cable came up. I'm a total noob about audio, so i checked with a friend to see if the XBox needed a particular style of optical cable or if any would do. He suggested that any would do, so i found this 3' cable for about one tenth of the price of the monster cable. I'll cut the long story short: it worked perfectly. For me, it's not worth paying 10 times the price to get a similar product with a fancy name on it.Customer Review: Snug fit, works fine
Summary: 5 Stars
This cable works fine for me, with three different machines of varying ages. Make sure you remove the rubber tip protecting the connector before plugging in. Also, there is a little nubbin on the side that will keep the cable in place. If the cable is not secure, then you may need to push it in a little farther (GENTLY) until the cable is in all the way.
Also, note that the digital inputs are not oriented all the same way. You may need to rotate the plug 90 degrees for it to fit.
Great price and quick shipping.
