Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tripp Lite A102-02M Digital Optical Audio Cable with 2 Toslink connectors - 2M (6ft)
Customer Review: Cheap, good quality cable
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this to connect my TV sound to the receiver. The TV has a digital optical output and I used this cable to connect it to my home theater receiver. Free, over the air sports programming now sounds like I am sitting in the stadium! Here's the config:
1. Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception
2. Tripp Lite Digital Audio Cable (optical) - 6 ft ( A102-02M ) (or any other optical cable)
3. HDTV
4. Home theater receiver and speakers
Customer Review: Works
Summary: 5 Stars
When purchasing a cable cheap the rational tends to be A) how much can they really screw up a cable and B) if it sucks i didn't pay anything for it, usually making things a winners bet because you have set up a scenario where you can't really lose. This cable which I got for nothing compared to other optic cables i had seen going for upwards of $30 Does it's job. I have it going from my series 6 samsung to my sony surround sound and the sound quality is nothing short of amazing. I am sure a lot of this is my components but something has to hold them all together and this does the trick for a price that didn't break the bank, which is great in my book.Customer Review: little package...big results

For $2.98 VS the $27.00 Rockfish cable at Best Buy I knew I had nothing to lose. When it arrived 3 days later my doubts were confirmed when I saw how thin the cable is. I figured it was easy enough to plug each end into my TV and Denon receiver and give it a try. I am amazed at how well it works. I get the same rich performance with my Denon receiver's 5.1 Surround system as I did when i had the more expensive Rockfish cable plugged in. Needless to say, I took the Rockfish (which was only 4') back to Best Buy. That was about a month ago and I have had no problems with the Tripp Lite Optical cable. Amazing...a 900% savings.Customer Review: Good for the price

I bought Digial Optical Audio cable from Amazon along with some other items I had to buy, so got free shipping. At $2.50 it is cheaper than most of the things you can buy on Amazon! So can't complain. I used this to connect my Fios cable box to the Sony Home Theater system I have. Worked fine. However, the sound level was a little bit lower than the previous connection (regular stereo audio cable) I had. Sound quality is good and this supports 5.1 surround with select HD channels but now most of the times I have to increase volume all the way up while watching TV. Again, for the price I paid I can't complain.Customer Review: These are ok...

These cables are the typical case of you get what you pay for. They work, however they do not lock into place very well (they depend on the rubber head to hold them into place). The sound quality when they are in place is great, but if you have your equipment out in the open and have pets and kids (like I do) then I suggest looking for a cable that locks into place much better than these.
Pros - They are cheap, they work
Cons - They pop out easily, they don't lock into the socket very well, they didn't work in every device I tried them (most likely because they were loose)
