Three words: Long. Solid. Inexpensive.
This is the longest Toslink optical cable I’ve found readily available, and for that, it is amazingly, almost unbelievably economical. It has a very thick, heavy jacket, which should help to protect the optical fiber within. It also has hefty end connectors, and the gold-tone accents on them serve absolutely no useful purpose on an optical cable, but they look do nice and give it an extra air of quality.I’ve had this cable for about two years. One end of it hangs off an extra input in back of my home theater receiver, and the other end lives under my couch, where it gets shoved around in the dust and occasionally trodden on, and it performs flawlessly without complaint. This allows me to just sit down with my MacBook Pro laptop anytime, pop in the cable, and instantly listen to anything in my music library (or internet radio etc.) in full digital quality. Isn’t technology grand!This would also be ideal for hooking up the digital sound output of your HDTV back to your stereo or home theater, or any similar application where you need a longer than usual cable.By the way, for use with the MacBook Pro or other laptop with a similar analog/digital dual-purpose port, you’ll want a mini optical adaptor such as this one from RiteAV, or perhaps this one if you prefer a right-angle connector.Highly recommended. “Buy without hesitation.”

Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
Works as described. Reasonable tightness on the click. Always a positive.

StarTech does it right with this 10 Ft optical cable.
Looks and feels to be very sturdy. The cable is quite thin, but the connectors are robust and click solidly into the port. Plating anything on an optical cable is a complete scam. Nothing on an optical cable cares about electrical or corrosive issues. I stay totally away from vendors that make a BIG deal about cheap plated metal that they dangle in front of customers, hoping that they will bite. It’s all a hoax. As for the diameter of the cable, I don’t think there will be any issues for a LONG time.

TAKE OFF THE DUST GUARDS!!!
Great, durable, high-quality cable. Sounds fantastic, cable is sturdy and flexible.But, at first it would not connect to my devices. The cable just fell out. A quick search on the googles, and all kinds of people were having the same issue. Looking very closely, I could now see that there are tiny, soft plastic dust covers protecting the end of the connector.These need to be pulled off. Note the difference between the two pictures below. The one on the left has the round, clear soft plastic in place, and the one on the right does not. The cover is tiny, at the very tip of the connector, and difficult to see. After removing these dust covers, the cables snapped right in securely.

One wonderful piece of magic
I had no idea that this type of thing existed until one day I was sick of watching all of my movies in 2.0 sound when my parents had a surround sound system but no real way to get surround sound out of it besides our cable box. Then I did some Googling and it turns out my friends laptop has an optical out port inside of his headphone jack. This blew my mind.My friend didn’t have surround sound at his house, and I didn’t have a laptop that could perform such witchery, so we both split the measly $5 for this cable. Boy was it worth it. We were able to plug this into his laptop’s 3.5mm jack because it was a toslink port and plug it into my parent’s surround sound receiver’s optical in port, and we got surround sound.This is an optical cord and I’m pretty sure they’re all more or less the same, and this one works so I’m sure it’s giving us the best quality we can get. There is no audio artifacts or anything of that nature. This transfer a beautiful 5.1 sound and I love it. There really isn’t any more to ask for.If you have a use for a cable of this nature, then get this one. It works perfectly.

end connector is heaply made, does not stay inside the toslink port if any tension is on the cable
Very good using this cable with a better quality optical cable to connect to a optical switch so I can swith between a blue ray player and a cable box for a surround sound digital amp using the remote on the switch. The optical switch uses power from USB 2.0 port so it has to be removed if streaming from USB. But moving anything even slightly on the optical switch or amp or blue ray player causes the connector to pull out from the optical port.Is staying for now, but if you are looking at this cable, read on and buy a thicker insulated optical cable that has a higher quality connector than this cheap plastic housing. Cost cutting from China…

Needed a thin but well made optical audio cable for a wall-mounted TV. This StarTech cable is thin and flexible, while still sounding great through the soundbar. Plugs are well made and fit snugly.
by Tord
Pro: Works as expected with my audio interfaces. 8 or 4 smux adat channels. Tight solid plug connections. Have had no issues. Affordable.Con: It is incredibly thin and rather stiff and if put besides other audio cables on the floor it’s easy to trip over. Due to it’s material it makes small “cable loops”. Been close to rip it out of the interfaces. Gaffer it to the floor to avoid breaking it.
