Works Perfectly

(5 out of 5) by H. Liebowitz on May 13, 2007 (Berkeley, CA USA)
I was a bit skeptical of this cable at first because of how thin it is. However, it works perfectly, and the price is awesome. There's really no need to pay more. When you think about it, optical signals aren't subject to the same type of interference as traditional electrical signals. Thus, you don't need beefy shielding for a clear signal. Less material is also better for the environment!

Got it right.

(5 out of 5) by BrianD on Mar 27, 2007
My first foray into fiber optics. Had to first decide which end connections were necessary for the cable. That was the most difficult part. Toslink? Miniplug? So much for standardization. In the end I got the right cable and it works great. I'm happy and now I understand a little more about fiber optics.

Great for use with Apple Airport Express

(5 out of 5) by Norman R. Hart on Jan 23, 2007 (Concord, NH USA)
I paid next to nothing for this cable and it plugs into the airport express and into my surround sound system for direct digital connection.

Perfect Optical Solution

(4 out of 5) by S. Anderson on Apr 24, 2008 (Chicago, IL)
This TOSlink to Miniplug is the perfect addition to my home theater. I use it to attach the Optical headphone jack on my Mac mini to my Yamaha 5.1 receiver. The mini connects to a HDTV LCD via DVI-HDMI cable and needs a separate audio connection. Sound quality is excellent with this cable!

And the price cannot be beat...
