Digital camera reviews of AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable, 6 Feet

Digital camera Review: 6 Feet of Distortion-Free Audio Signal Transmission
Summary: 5 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I use the AmazonBasics Toslink Digital Audio Optical Cable to connect my sound card on my computer to my 5.1 Surround Sound Logitech Speakers. The 6 feet cable provides more than enough reach between the optical socket on my sound card and the optical socket on the control console for my speakers.

As opposed to conventional speaker wiring, optical cables (AKA Toslink cables) prevent the degradation of audio signals from the source to the speakers. The speakers will thus be able to produce sound that is free from distortion. Sweetness!

Kudos to Amazon for their Frustration-Free Packaging. The package comes in an easy-to-open cardboard box. The connector on both ends of the cable are protected with rubber caps. The caps are not tethered like the ones from some manufacturers but that's a minor issue.

The AmazonBasics Toslink Digital Audio Optical Cable work flawlessly. These cables may be higher priced than the generic ones, but they are quality cables backed by Amazon's one-year warranty. Recommended.

TOSLINK Cable Keeps Pure Digital Audio Signal Between Components
The TOSLINK optical audio connection carries a digital audio stream using a fiber-optic cable. This AmazonBasics TOSLINK Cable is perfect for whenever you need to connect audio devices, such as a CD or DVD players to a receiver or preamplifier.

In home-theater applications, you can use the TOSLINK connection to send a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack to an audio processor or A/V receiver for surround-sound decoding.

Since TOSLINK uses fiber-optic cable, it is free from distortion caused by electrical or magnetic interference that an electrical cable would incur. The result is an audio signal that is purer, as well as truer to the original recording.
