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.

These Really 'Sound' like Good Cables October 15, 2009
Timothy Lovett (Boston, MA USA)
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
These cables are pretty awesome.
Initial setup (who cares): The cable came in an easy to open cardboard box. The plastic tips needed to be removed but that hardly was an issue given I have opposable thumbs.
Sound quality: The quality of the sound was on par with some of the more expensive cables I've had previously. I didn't notice any interference and it sounded fairly clear.
In general there isn't too much to say about this product; either it works or it doesn't work. It works and I recommend it.

This cable was very reasonably priced and it works beautifully. The package arrived quickly and that pleased us. We would deal with this vendor again.
Very satasfied! February 15, 2010
John Maddox (Georgia)
This is a great product for a great price! You cannot go wrong in purchasing this product! Works just as good as a $30 cable!!
Great Cable February 22, 2010
Kyle M. Britton (charleston, SC)
Works perfectly with my yamaha soundbar to allow me to play audio from my cable tv over my soundbar vs my tvs speakers. Only thing that caught me off guard are these plastic covers on each end of the cable that have to be removed before you can plug it in. I thought they were part of the cable & built in, then i realized they can be removed.
Excellent cable at a great price! February 22, 2010
B. Colonna (Somewhere in NJ)
The AmazonBasics TOSLINK cable is a great product. If you are unsure of what a TOSLINK is, it is also known as a fiber optic digital audio cable. The term TOSLINK stems back to Toshiba's invention of these for CD players.
I use a couple of these fiber optic cables for digital audio. I have one connecting my DVD player to my home theater, and one connecting my TV to my home theater.
I previously purchased a Monster cable, which I bought because of the name, plus it was a good price and was THX certified.
I cannot distinguish any sound difference whatsoever between the AmazonBasics cable and the more expensive Monster cable. Visually, the cables are the same size and thickness, except that Monster adds on a large head near each end with "THX" embossed on it. This is a cosmetic, not functional, difference. While the Monster cables are not over-priced, the AmazonBasics performs exactly the same, but for about half the price.
The AmazonBasics cable length is as advertised, it connects firmly into the jacks and it works as expected.
The bottom line: While it is true that manufacturers can use different quality optical fiber, ranging from cheaper plastic to better quality multi-stranded plastic fibers, or sometimes glass, at the end of the day this is a digital signal. So barring a malfunctioning/damaged cable, it either moves the light or it doesn't. So, save some money and get this cable. You will be satisfied with the quality and the sound.
