Monoprice Premium S/PDIF (Toslink) Digital Optical Audio Cable - Silver - 6 Feet | Heavy Duty Mesh Jacket, Metal Connector Heads, For Play Station,

Was on sale, which made it impossible to pass and I was lookiing for something under $10 and needed a replacement ASAP, it was shipped 3 days earlier than expected with standard shipping, which was perfect. When it arrived, there wasn't much to the packaging, which made me skeptical about the quality, since it said premium. So, I was worried that 6 ft wasn't enough from TV to device, but it was, I had so much slack on my last cable. At any rate, the cable did have the feel and build quality of premium label. My last cable did not have the thickness of this one, which led me to believe why it started to fail because at where the plug meets the wire, caused intermittent connection, I don't think this will happen with this cable due to the inability to bend at that point. Although, my Sony cable lasted 18 years which wasn't premium built, so maybe I got my full use out of it, hopefully this one will last as long or longer.

This audio cable outwardly looks impressive but optical cables do not need better shielding. They are just bulkier and more difficult to work with. Furthermore, the ends on my mine kept coming off (something that never happened with the less expensive cables) and eventually became unusable. The less-expensive cables Monoprice offers are actually more reliable and less difficult to work with. I cannot recommend these.

You can't go wrong with monoprice or toslink. Too bad my Samsung ust laser projector to Monolith MTM-100 powered speakers only supports passthrough on the hdmi earc port. Love that toslink "click."

Worked well. Very sturdy. Would definitely buy again. Was used to connect HDTV to a AV receiver with no HDMI input. I?m not sure how to measure /compare but the sound but this works well and on Klipsch RP 7.1 speakers is super.

I ordered 2 of these fine cables. They?re a very high quality product, extra heavy duty. The one I previously had was accidentally damaged so I needed a replacement, and it?s always nice to have an extra one on hand.

Solid build, flexible, durable, good tight fit. Build quality really is exceptional. As far as I can tell it?s shielding to avoid interference is top notch which in most scenarios isn?t an issue anyways. For those wondering about sound quality of course it?s perfect but it?s a digital interface. The cheapest optic line will sound exactly the same as the most expensive over short runs assuming there?s nothing to interfere with the signal as in most cases. Of course with analog cables quality is very important but not with digital. The reason to buy these is they should last longer, not slip out as easily as some others and give you peace of mind nothing?s interfering, it?s pure signal and the price is right. These are super high quality lines for the price of cheapies. Thank you MonoPrice

I've tried other Toslink cables and these are the best by far for the price. I won't buy them anywhere else now.

was not expecting this cable to be as solid as it was for the price. WOW it's well built, solid ends (metal) and a smooth grey jacket over cable. monoprice quality once again

Fantastic cable! Well made and sturdy. Works great at an exceptional price!

The spdif and interconnect cables that, I purchased from monoprice were of a high standard of quality and once connected, I immediately could detect a difference in sound quality.

Great thickness and quality build. Thickness definitely helps with keeping the optical from taking any sharp bends. Excellent price point for the value too. 100% recommend.

Very good quality, at half the price of other places

this cable look like it cost 100 dollars very well made

This is a well made Toslink cable. I have been searching for a cable that fit into my DAC well and finally found one. I have tried a number of cables and never found one that I can feel actually "snap in". It stays in securely and looks cool to boot.

Wouldn’t work with my speaker. Had square end, needed round end.

This is a excellent cable, great jacket, solid but large ends. Just ran into an issue were the end is too bid to fit into a Bose sound bar.

Robust and solid. Works perfectly with price and shipping icing on the cake. Absolutley recommend this product.

This cable looks amazing and feels like it will last forever. Sound quality through it is as expected and is very good. I like the ends as they are easy to grasp as you insert them in your components. The trade off to that is the size of the hole you have to make if you are routing it in the wall, which is what I did. The hole was easily dressed up with a grommet. I hate having exposed cables & wires, but this one looks good enough to have exposed if you wish.

Great heavy duty cable. Firmly clicked in between my Integra cd player and Onkyo receiver. Sound quality excellent. I know that a digital signal is pretty much all or nothing, but for the price, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I'm glad I found them and have bookmarked them for next purchase.
