Digital camera reviews of 3 FT Digital Audio Optical TOSLink Cable Optic 3ft
Digital camera Review: MONSTER SCAM GOING ON OUT THERE
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, you have been shopping for cables to finish off your new home theater system and time after time a salesperson tells you about MONSTER cables. Well, when it comes to HDMI or Red/Blue/Green component cables, getting something nice with gold fittings is the way to go but spending big bucks to buy the MONSTER brand name is way over rated. Search our some similar but way cheaper cables on Amazon.com. Now regarding these optical cables. Brand means nothing. Transferring a light signal is transferring a light signal. A gold fitting means squat. As long as the optical cable you buy delivers the light signal from a cable box to your TV or audio system, you good to go. Example, I purchased a MONSTER Cable on sale for $38 bucks before I saw this cable on Amazon.com. Glad Circuit City has a 30 return policy with receipt because I sure used it. Once my less then less than a buck optical cable arrived and I saw that it delivered a light signal just like the MONSTER cable with the MONSTER price did, I returned that overpriced cable faster than you can say jack rabbit. When installing your optical cable, look close at the shape of the fitting and the shape of the whole it goes in. Kinda trick to make sure you are placing it in correctly and push it in snug. Do not jam it in without lining up which side is up. Also, do not crimp the cable. You are dealing with fiber optics here so keep the cord from bending at a sharp able to keep your light passageway from getting blocked. ENJOY AND SAVE BIG BUCKS.Digital camera 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.Digital camera Review: My first Fiber optic sounds!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this product.
I have been using standard analog hookups for my HD dvd player's Dolby Digital and DTS sound until I received this item. The cable is just like the seller describes on this Amazon page...3 foot fiber optic sound cable.
And well, I plugged it into my HD DVD player and into my DTS Receiver--the set up was instant. ONE CABLE for all 7 channels and when I plugged the first end into the HD player, the other end of the cable LIT UP with a little red light so it was easy to see where to hook up the other end in the receiver. The optical sound is its own flashlight basically--and as soon as both ends were plugged in, instantly, I had to turn the sound from my original settings at 10 decibels to 3 decibels, because the optic sound was blasting out my speakers. The cable itself is 3 feet long and about 1/2 inch thick, and it comes with the optical tips covered by a sturdy plastic cup guarding the tips till you can hook them up. The cable itself is strong enough to withstand long-term use unless you have children pulling out your cables constantly. But from what I have seen, I feel it will maintain for years to come.
Seriously, it is TRULY an AUDIBLE MIRACLE from standard connections. For a mere $4 dollars(shipping included, it was the best money I ever spent! I have never heard such GREAT sound before!!!I highly recommend this! In fact, I love it so much I sat right down and wrote this review not one minute after hooking it up!!!
Digital camera Review: No problems here
Summary: 5 Stars
While these connectors do not have the thick insulation or sturdy feel of a Monster or NXG cable, they are certainly worth the price. Both cables I bought fasten as securely as the more expensive toslink cables I own, function just as well, and arrived just as shown in the photo, with dust caps.Digital camera Review: Not as Described
Summary: 1 Stars
Usually when I order/buy an Optical Cable, I expect both ends of the cable to have optical connectors. One end of this product was definitely not an optical cable. I have never seen this type of plug, but it is not a toslink. Also, the guage of the cable is nothing near what is in the picture.
