Amazon Basics Toslink Digital Optical Audio Fiber Optic Cable, CL3 Rated, Multi-Channel, for Sound Bar, Audio System, Home Theatre, Gold-Plated Connectors, 15 Foot, Black

Very impressed. This items was better made than I thought it would be for the price. Quality product. I needed 15ft run from the TV to an older THX processor/amps for surround. This was installed in conduit and was easy to run from the TV to where the amps are located. I definitely will say this cable was better than I thought from the photo, very chunky but still flexible, nice grips at the terminations. Seems to be transmitting signal fine. Will update if problems.

I looked at all the negative reviews, and was a bit leery of this one, especially whether or not it would click into place in the socket. I need not have worried. On both ends, there was a satisfying click when I inserted the cable, and it required sufficient effort to remove the plug that it is very unlikely to fall out, as some people complained about.

I have used a number of optical cables over the years, but this one is one of the best ones I have tried. First, I purchased the 10 foot length as the cables that come with most electronics are frustratingly short. The optical cable that this one is replacing was embarrasingly thin and low quality. This was a perfect length for me to hook up my new television to my soundbar. It feels robust and like a quality product when I have it in my hands. The transition from the cable itself to the optical connection feels very well done and I have no fear of it ripping or splitting. The cable itself is very flexible. The connections themselves sit very firmly in the components that they attach to, which I appreciate. I have no worries of them accidentally coming unhooked. The sound is great, the quality of construction and of the connection points themselves is excellent. For the price it is hard to imagine a better value for the money. I will buy this again when the need arises in the future. 5 stars. Highly recommend!

I like the price for. The. Lenght

These cables are excellent. The connectors are well build and stay in place. The cable is a soft rubber that doesn't crimp. And obviously they work. With most digital cables, particularly digital audio cables, they either work or they don't. There isn't any in between. Quality is only really a concern with analog audio cables, such as RCA. But still, with optical cables you want something that will last and, most importantly, with connectors that will STAY IN PLACE. These meet those requirements. I have to say I am very impressed by Amazon's stuff overall and in particular all of the cables/wire I have purchased from them. I am kind the kind of guy who has an entire large bin full of cables and wire in my closet. Literally dozens and dozens of cables ranging from old school analog audio and video to modern day display port and HDMIs. They also range from one end of the spectrum to the other in terms of quality, some I have are total junk and have never been used, others are very high end and were very expensive. Amazon Basics cables are really very excellent for the money. I wouldn't put them in the highest tier of build quality but for digital cables they are more than good enough.

Nice quality at a good price point.

There seems to be some confusion about how these AmazonBasics Optical audio cables fit or don’t fit into your devices. They fit fine. You simply need to remove the rubber cap that protects the metal contact on the end of the cable. See photos. Remove the rubber protective cap! Voila. Fits fine, clicks in, great. It seems that all of the one star reviews of these cables complaining about the lack of fit of the cables are because of user error. I almost bought a more expensive cable because I read a bunch of one-star reviews where folks apparently did not recognize that this rubber cap is removable. I gave 5 stars because having a rubber cap to protect the contact is a fantastic idea. Maybe Amazon need to include a note about removing the rubber caps in / on the packaging so users don’t make this silly error. So far works great. Sound quality? Don’t know yet.

I needed to get audio from a ceiling mounted projector to a soundbar mounted under the screen. At first I tried bluetooth, but whenever the soundbar turned off it was a struggle to get the audio working again. I also dealt with a lot of audio desyncing and the quality seemed muddy. Bought a cheap ($20) miniRCA to TOSlink adapter for my projector and this cable. Routed it around the edge of the room using a staple gun to tack it into place and it's been working flawlessly for over a month. The cable is thick and well shielded from physical impacts, which was my only worry at time of purchase due to how I needed to route it.

I upgraded our 15 year old TV to a new LG C3 when it started failing to turn on. Even though I got a great deal, 3K is more than I normally spend on a TV, so I've held off replacing the receiver that made up the centre of our Home Theater set-up. The challenge though, is that the old set-up had all sources running into the receiver, then out to the TV, so video from TV and the option of sound from the TV speakers or surround from the receiver, depending on what we felt like at the moment. But given the age of the receiver, it doesn't support HDMI 2.1. So, using this same set-up would mean pushing lower quality signals into the new 4K TV, and that would be silly. Most of the time, we just use TV speakers when watching TV or TV shows on streaming apps, but we would use the receiver surround sound when watching movies. This optical cable is giving us that back in a decent way until I upgrade to a HDMI 2.1 receiver. I've just used this to go from the LG C3 to the receiver, and set the TV output to optical when we want the receiver to do the sound. It's not taking full advantage of the source material as optical won't cover the newer codecs, but we at least get a decent 5.1 surround, which is better than the TV speakers. Quality wise, it seems solid, and the connectors fit snuggly in both the TV and the receiver. Sound is clear and the range is good. I can't complain, and the price is good enough to invest in this a short-term solution.

Bastante largo, funcional y bien empaquetado, se siente de buena calidad sin duda volveria a comprarlo.

To use with my audio rack I needed a long optical cable. Was a little skeptical about the quality but it came to be really good for the price point!

Perfecto y lo mismo o mejor con respeto a otros fabricantes. Se percibe buena calidad y aún precio contenido

Die angegebene Länge von 10,66 Metern kommt durch die Umrechnung aus der Länge von 35 ft im angloamerikanischen Maßsystem zustande und ist so korrekt. Das Kabel selbst wird ordentlich aufgerollt und mit zwei Kabelbindern zusammengehalten in einem der üblichen Amazon Basics-Kartons geliefert, welcher mit allen notwendigen Informationen bedruckt ist. Das Auspacken gestaltet sich dementsprechend unkompliziert. Befürchtungen, das Kabel könne durch das Aufwickeln einen Drall haben, haben sich nicht bestätigt. Ganz im Gegenteil ist das Kabel hochflexibel und sehr leicht verlegbar. Die Isolierung hat einen gummiartigen Charakter, ohne jedoch in irgendeiner Art und Weise klebrig zu sein. Durch die gute Isolierung ist das Kabel sicher gegen Beschädigungen geschützt. Schleifen bilden sich beim Ausrollen keine, das Kabel liegt sofort plan. Die Faserenden an beiden Anschlüssen sind bei der Lieferung durch eine jeweils zu entfernende Kappe vor Beschädigungen wie Kratzern und Fingerabdrücken geschützt und müssen vor dem Einstecken in die Geräte entfernt werden. Trotz der sehr langen Distanz von über 10 Metern bereitete der Anschluss der beiden mi diesem Kabel zu verbindenden HiFi-Komponenten kein Problem. Die Übertragungsgüte ist auch bei 192 kHz und einer Auflösung von 24 Bit, also dem höchsten nach Standard unterstützten Übertragungswert von S/PDIF, einwandfrei. Es sind keinerlei Störungen aufgetreten. Wünschenswert wäre es, wenn das Kabel auch in einer Länge von 15 Metern erhältlich wäre. Ich gehe davon aus, dass bei gleicher Fasergüte auch bei dieser Länge eine einwandfreie Übertragung möglich wäre. Wenn Amazon das Kabel mit 15 Metern in das Sortiment aufnähme, würde ich es sofort bestellen. Für den sehr günstigen Preis von 6,10 € ist das Kabel vorbehaltlos zu empfehlen.
